2007 Lexus GX470 4-DR w/SAB Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2007 Lexus GX470 4-DR w/SAB

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.

No
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:
"the sunroof door is rusted all over the metal surrounding the glass on the inside of the vehicle. the roof of the car is ok but i fear the rust will eventually get there. my concern is that the sunroof door might get detached while driving and may cause a serious accident. i have spoke to the local lexus dealer and they say there is no campaign or recall on the issue. my car is always in the garage while not in use and there is no leak on the door so i believe is a problem with the material used on this model. i have another lexus a 2000 gs 400 and the sunroof door is in perfect condition. i have spoke to other gs 470 owner and they have the same problem. i will appreciate from you to investigate why is this happening with this model before there is an accident because of this problem. thanks."
