Toyota\'s US customers warn about Lexus GX 460

Japanese carmaker Toyota is facing further safety concerns after a US consumer organisation warned customers not to buy one of its models.



Consumer Reports issued a recommendation not to buy the Lexus GX 460 four-wheel drive because of fears that the car can roll over.



The last time it judged a vehicle\'s performance unacceptable was in 2001.



Toyota says it’s concerned with the results of Consumer Reports\' testing and is looking into the claims.



However, it has maintained that its model meets or exceeds all federal government testing requirements.



The carmaker has recalled over 8 million cars globally due to safety fears over faulty accelerators, floor pedals that stuck in mats and braking issues.
