"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Toyota Motor Corp. has suspended sales of the 2010
Lexus GX 460 after Consumer Reports warned car shoppers not to buy the
sport utility vehicle because handling problems could cause them to
roll over on sharp turns.
...
Japanese public broadcaster NHK and the major daily newspaper Asahi
said Thursday that Toyota is considering recalling the 2010 Lexus GX
460. The Asahi said the recall would cover around 6,000 vehicles.

GX 460 that is.

Gee, that would be soooo expensive. Why would they do that? I mean
just a few tip-overs and a few dead people vs the money savings?!
Really, ya gotta look at Obama and his liberal pals who want to kill
lots more americans with these little teeny tiny small cars that have
much higher accidental death rates. Sure, they do save gas, but they
kill many more people in their more frequent accidents. So whats wrong
with a fierce, warlike people like the Japanese killing a lot fewer
with a tipsy wipsy suv?

Mercedes Benz had the same problem a few years ago. They stopped
sales and production, and fixed the issue. That is what I would expect
any responsible car maker to do.

Don't blame them a bit. BTW I saw a bit of footage of a semi-power slide
with one of these. No sign of the gas being hit hence my use of the word
"semi", but the vehicle was going at least 60 Mph, and did a sharp turn
to the right. The vehicle slid sideways about 5' but no sign of any more
roll after the steering stopped. More bullshit from vested interest
groups. Try that in a SUV without stability control and see what
happens.
