2014 LEXUS ES Complaints

WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN REVERSE THE BRAKE WAS FIGHTING ME SO IT KEPT GOING INTO A CONCRETE PILLAR THEN WHEN I SHIFTED IT INTO DRIVE IT DID IT AGAIN AND NOW MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE BRAKE IT COULDN'T OF STOPPED TILL IT RAN INTO A FENCE NOT FAR IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN IT HIT THE CONCRETE PILLAR. I QUICKLY TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON THEN IT RESPONDED ACCORDLY THEN. IT WAS LIKE THE ABS WAS FIGHTING ME WHEN I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE AND NOT ALLOWING ME BRAKE TO BE PRESSED TO SLOW/STOP THE CAR BOTH FIRST IN REVERSE THEN FORWARD TO PULL AWAY FROM THE CRASH.

EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE AC SMELL STINKS . EVEN I REPLACED ALL AIR FILTERS. I HEARD TOYOTA CAMRY HAD SAME ISSUES

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED A NOTICE FROMTK HOLDINGS INC ABOUT ONE TO TWO YEARS AGO REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF AIR BAG. CALLED MY LEXUS DEALER ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOTICE WHEN IT WAS MY TURN. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A TIME FRAME ON WHEN THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. I AM DRIVING A DANGEROUS CAR. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT?? CASE NO 17-11375

MY 2014 LEXUS ES 350 HAS LESS THEN 4000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING HAS MALFUNCTIONED TWICE AND I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT IS PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH CONTINUALLY FREEZES UP MAKING IT INOPERABLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR 2 MONTHS AGO AND AS IT WAS CERTIFIED BY LEXUS THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.THIS IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN MY PARKING LOT BOTH TIMES THIS OCCURRED AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY.

REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT ALMOST STRANGLED 7YEAR OLD. THE SEAT BELT WAS LOOPED AROUND CHILD WHEN THEY WERE PLAYING WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. WHEN READY TO GET OUT OF CAR, THE CHILD UNBUCKLED AND THE LOOP WRAP AROUND CHILD TIGHTENED. THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT LOOSENING TO ALLOW CHILD TO FIT THROUGH LOOP, PULLING ON BELT MADE THE BELT EVEN TIGHTER AND DID NOT UNLOCK. CHILD WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY BREATHING AND I HAD TO CUT THE BELT. REQUEST MADE WITH LEXUS DEALERSHIP TO FIX MALFUNCTIONED BELT IN DECEMBER 2017. NO RESPONSE FROM DEALER AS OF APRIL 2018. CONTINUING TO INQUIRE FOR RESOLUTION TO TO HAVE BELT FIXED UNDER VEHICLE WARRANTY. DEALER IS UNRESPONSIVE TO PHONE AND EMAIL FOR UPDATES.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH DOWNTOWN ATLANTA (MODERATE SPEED), ON A SATURDAY (NO CONSTRUCTION), AND NOWHERE NEAR ANY OVERPASS (FALLING OBJECTS), OUR UNOPENED SUNROOF EXPLODED. WE HEARD A LOUD "BANG", AND THOUGHT WE HAD SUFFERED A TIRE BLOWOUT, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LOUD NOISE A FEW SECONDS LATER AND COULD SEE SOMETHING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FLYING OFF THE BACK OF THE ROOF. WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP, WE FOUND THE GLASS IN OUR SUNROOF HAD DISINTEGRATED.

HYBRID ENGINE NOT FULLY WORKING , ESTIMATED MPG 40 MPG CAR IS ONLY GETTING NOW 22.5 AND IS GETTING WORSE. MY WIFE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER LEXUS HYBRID AND THE DEALER DENIED PROBLEM FOR 3 MONTHS UNTIL THEY SENT A SERVICEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA TO FIX PROBLEM .

THE DOOR ACTUATOR WHICH CONTROLS THE ABILITY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS FAIL FREQUENTLY. THIS FAILURE MAY CAUSE THE INABILITY TO EXIT THE CAR OR HAVE SOMEONE OPEN THE CAR DOOR IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 OF THE DOOR ACTUATORS IN 60,000 MILES OR LESS. THIS WAS ALSO A PROBLEM IN MY LAST LEXUS WHICH WAS A 2007 ES350.
