Toyota has announced that the company will suspend sales of one of its luxury vehicles in the U.S. The move came after a U.S. consumer organization warned the clients not to purchase the Lexus GX 460 four-wheel drive because of fears that it could roll over. Toyota suspended its sale for further examination of the said product. They have to identify and correct the safety issues described. The company has recalled about eight million cars globally because of safety fears over faulty accelerators, floor pedals that stuck in mats, and braking problems. The Lexus GX 460 is labeled as a “Don’t Buy: Safety Risk” because of a problem which had occurred during its standard emergency-handling tests. During the test, they tried to push to its limits on track’s handling course, but the rear of the GX slid out until the vehicle was almost sideways before the electronic stability control system was able to regain control. The GX 460 has been out in the U.S. market for almost three months and about 5,000 vehicles have been sold. Toyota released a statement defending their company that their engineers also conducted similar tests and such allegations were not true. However, they will suspend its sales and recheck the vehicle.
