2010 LEXUS HS 250 HYBRID Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LEXUS HS 250 HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER LEXUS OF ROSEVILLE LOCATED AT 300 AUTOMALL DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, (916) 472-7400, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. *DT*DT*JB*JS

HARD BRAKE PEDAL - BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED IMPROPERLY HARD TO STOP. VEHICLE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SIMILAR TOYOTAS VEHICLES.

2010 LEXUS 250HS BRAKE ACTUATOR. DRIVING ALONG A CITY STREET GOING 55 MPH. SLOWING DOWN TO APPROACH A STOP LIGHT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL THE RED BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON. MY PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAVE NO BRAKES AND ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR INTO THE REAR END OF ANOTHER CAR. I HAD TO HIT THE CA SHIFTER INTO B MODE AND FLY INTO THE GRASS TO STOP. THERE WAS A CANAL RIGHT THERE I ALMOST WENT INTO. THIS WAS A RECALL IN 2010 AND VIN SPECIFIC. I HAVE READ A MILLION FORUMS THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. MY CER HAS 81,000 MILES ONLY. LEXUS CORPORATE SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE 2,400 PART/LABOR. I THINK THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THIS PART CAN GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. I DRIVE OVER A HIGH BRIDGE TO GET TO WORK. WHAT WOUND THEY HAVE DONE WHEN GETTING A LAW SUIT WHEN I'M BELLY UP IN THE OCEAN IF BY BRAKES WENT OUT ON THE BRIDGE. THIS CAR HAD A "ABS UPDATE" IN 2010 BECAUSE THIS MODEL WAS HAVING ISSUES THEN. THEY CLEARLY DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR LIVES. I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN. IF THIS HAPPENS AND I DIE BECAUSE I HAVE TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES FOR A SECOND TIME WHO'S THE DUMB ONE? ME FOR KEEPING THE CAR OR LEXUS FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS CHRONIC ISSUE?!

WHEN I RUN OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR HIT ANYTHING IN THE STREET, MY CAR GOES INTO A FIT ALMOST HITTING THE OTHER CARS. ITS LIKE AFTER THAT, HE MOVES REALLY FAST FORCING IT TO GO FASTER AND MY FOOT IS NOT EVEN ON THE BREAKS...

2010 LEXUS HS 250H START MALFUNCTION, ALL LIGHTS FLICKERING THEN NOTHING. ATTEMPTED JUMPING THE 12V BATTERY OFF BUT THAT DID NOT WORK, ATTEMPTED REPLACING KEY FOB BATTERY AND THAT DID NOT WORK. NOW THERE IS NO LIGHTS OR ELECTRICITY THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT FLICKER ARE THE P LIGHT WHICH STROBES SLIGHTLY AND WHEN THE BRAKE IS PLAYED WITH (DEPRESSED AND LET OUT SEVERAL TIMES) I CAN GET THE LIGHT "KEY NOT DETECTED" AND THE "TRIANGLE WITH THE !" TO COME ON. THEN WHEN I HOLD FOB TO THE POWER BUTTON IT WILL SAY, "DEPRESS BRAKE AND PUSH POWER BUTTON TO START CAR" HOWEVER THAT DOES NOT WORK. CAR WAS STATIONARY IN PARK IN GARAGE AND HAD BEEN DRIVEN NOT EVEN 45 MINUTES PRIOR.

PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPOT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES FAILED CAUSING THE CAR TO DRIVE THROUGH A FENCE, SMALL BUSH AND AN OUTDOOR STAIRCASE. MY SPEED WAS UNDER 10 MILES AN HOUR.

TAKATA RECALL: I'VE HAD 2 INCIDENTS WHERE ALL FOUR OF MY CAR WINDOWS WERE DOWN. ALSO MY MOONROOF WINDOW WAS OPEN. I ASSUME THEY WENT DOWN BY THEMSELVES. THE CAR WAS PARKED. I'D GO OUT TO MY CAR. MY CAR WAS LOCKED. I ALWAYS LOCK IT AND NOTHING APPEARED TO BE STOLEN OR BROKEN. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AROUND THE TIME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR FOR POTENTIAL HYBRID SYSTEM FAILURE. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT BUT I TOOK IT INTO A LEXUS DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED FOR THE RECALL. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AFTER THAT AGAIN UNTIL DECEMBER OF 2018. SO BOTH TIMES I HAD LOCKED MY CAR, CAME BACK TO MY CAR EVENTUALLY, AND SAW MY WINDOWS WERE DOWN. DIFFERENT HEIGHTS. NOTHING WAS TAKEN OR BROKEN.

ADDING DOCUMENTS PROVIDED BY THE MECHANIC, AND PICTURE ON THE ERROR. LOOKS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE BUT DEALER WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS RECALL FOR THE VIN NUMBER. PLEASE ASSIST

TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON ABS (REFLASH SOFTWARE) AND BREAK BOOSTER PUMP REPLACEMENT. I HAVE LOST THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE ON THE BREAKS AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. DEALER HAS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER VEHICLES EXCEPT OF MINE. HOW DO I GET MY VIN NUMBER CHECKED AND ADDED TO THE RECALL? PLEASE ASSIST. THANK YOU.

THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE MIRRORS BOTH FAILED WITHIN A YEAR OF EACH OTHER. BOTH MIRRORS BEGAN TO MOVE EXCESSIVELY WHILE DRIVING, RENDERING THEM USELESS. BOTH MIRRORS ARE CAPABLE OF BEING MANUALLY FOLDED, THE MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THEM FIRM WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION BROKE.
