Some Lexus LS460 owners report experiencing persistent vibration issues while accelerating below 80 mph, despite multiple repairs and no manufacturer recall. These vibrations can stem from various factors, including alignment problems, axle issues, damaged motor mounts, tire imbalance, brake rotor irregularities, or wheel bearing concerns. Owners have noted that if vibrations are primarily felt during acceleration, a damaged motor mount may be the cause, and replacing it could alleviate the issue. Additionally, uneven pressure from brake pads on the rotor surface can lead to vibrations, potentially resolved by replacing the rotors. Ensuring proper tire balance and alignment is crucial, as imbalances can contribute to driving vibrations. While there is no recall for this issue, it is vital for owners to collaborate with trusted mechanics or dealerships to diagnose and address the problem effectively. If vibrations persist after repairs, seeking a second opinion from another mechanic experienced with Lexus vehicles may be beneficial to explore all potential causes thoroughly.
