Safety Features

2016 Lexus GX460 SUV AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2016 Lexus GX460 SUV AWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"contacted by lexus about a 2016 lexus gx 460 i purchased in feburary 2020 from a local dealership sister store. lexus informed me that the vehicle had an air bag recall if not fixed according to literature could cause serious harm or death. i was open to get the vehicle fixed and stated i had a toyota dealership within 2 miles of my home. lexus said because this was as safety issue my local toyota dealership was unacceptable place for repairs and i had to have the vehicle shipped to a dealership which was the closest to my area 318 miles away (one way). lexus offered to have the vehicle picked up and curried to the dealership at no cost to me. the problem is that this vehicle is my main means of transportation to work. when i explained this to lexus associate it lexus replied that i could rent a car and lexus would re-emberse me for the cost. which is great if you have the money to lease a car upfront for an extended period of time. when i questioned why a vehicle with an air bag safety recall issued back in may of 2016 was allowed to be re-sold without being fixed the answer i received was that it should have shown up on the carfax. i would have never purchased this vehicle with a known safety issue that could cause serious harm or death. i believe not only does lexus have some responsibility but so does the dealership in which i purchased the vehicle from as i was not made aware of the recall at the time of purchase. with all that being said i feel i have no problem having the vehicle fixed within reasonable compromise between both parties. but if in the interim time someone is seriously injured or killed as a result of this recall i want it documented that i made a good faith effort to report it to the nhtsa prior to any such incidents."
