Consumer Reports (CR) rated the 2010 Lexus GX 460 a Don’t Buy. From their history, they don’t issue that rating frequently or lightly. The last time they issued it was in 2001 on the Mitsubishi Montero.

CR paid for the use of a Lexus GX 460 and put it through their testing routine . In their words:

“When pushed to its limits on our track’s handling course, the rear of the GX we bought slid out until the vehicle was almost sideways before the electronic stability control system was able to regain control.”

CR tested two different vehicles with four engineers to confirm their results that the Lexus GX 460 has a higher rollover risk than other SUV’s. They have notified Toyota and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for their findings are are urging consumers not to buy this vehicle until a fix has been found.
