AIR BAG LIGHT TURNED ON AFTER HAVING THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR RECALL FIXED . AS SOON AS I PICKED UP MY CAR THAT AFTERNOON AND TURNED IT ON THE LIGHT WAS ON WHEN THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON BEFORE UNTIL AFTER THEY FIXED WHAT WAS NEEDED TO BE FIXED. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY AROUND $2500 I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND CAN'T AFFORD THAT AND HAVE SEEN IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND THE CARS WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT DUE TO THE 72 MONTHS OR 70,000 MILE WARRANTY MY CAR IS AT 80,000 I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY PROBLEMS YET LIKE THAT.

FUEL LINE FAILED, CAUSING FUMES AND POTENTIAL FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT REFUSED TO ISSUE RECALL DESPITE ISSUING RECALL ON OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTS. FULE LINE REPLACED BY LEXUS: PART 75880

THE AUX CABLE TO PLUG A 3.5MM JACK FROM AUDIO HEADPHONE / SPEAKER CABLE DOES NOT WORK. IT PLAYS MUSIC ONLY IN THE FRONT RIGHT DOOR SPEAKER, DOES NOT PLAY ANYWHERE ELSE. ALL OF THE SPEAKERS WORK FINE WHEN ON RADIO OR CD MODE BUT THE AUX CABLE SEEMS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND SPOKEN WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME MODEL OF LEXUS (IS350 2007). IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET THIS FIXED. THANK YOU. *TR

VSC LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES STAYS ON FOR DAYS. ABS LIGHT COMES ON WITH IT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. VERY UNSAFE WHEN IT HAPPENS I HAVE BEEN TURNING AND THE TRACTION WILL CUT OUT. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE WE DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR IN THE RAIN. *TR

WENT INTO A GROCERY STORE WHEN I CAME BACK 5 MINUTES LATER I TURNED ON THE CAR AND WENT TO OUCH THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WHEN IT FIRST DID NOT WORK. HAS NOT WORKED EVER SINCE MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE REARVIEW MIRROR BECAME HAZY AND CAN NO LONGER SEE OUT OF IT. THE HAZE IS IN THE INSIDE OF THE MIRROR. *TR

VEHICLE DASH IS DETERIORATING/BREAKING DOWN AND THE GLARE IS SO BAD IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD AS THE GLARE REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD - IN WARM WEATHER THE DASH IS VERY STICKY AND GUMMY AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN OR WASH AS EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT - THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS AND BLOGS - LEXUS SHOULD DEFINITELY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DETERIORATION OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THEIR DASHES CAUSING A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THERE WAS A FUEL SMELL IN THE FRONT ENGINE AREA AND CABIN OF MY CAR - DANGEROUS AND OBVIOUS RISK OF FIRE - THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEXUS OF CLEAR LAKE WHO HAS STATED THE LEAK IS DIRECTLY FROM MY TOP FUEL RAIL AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALLS ON THE FUEL SYSTEM ONE IN PARTICULAR COMING OUT THAT IS DUE TO "ANTI CORROSION PLATING REMNANTS CAUSING THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR TO LEAK" HOW COULD THE POTENTIAL LEAKS OR CAUSES OF THEM NOT EFFECT THE RAIL AS WELL IF ITS CAUSING DETERIORATION OR "DEGRADING" OF OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE FUEL SYSTEM - THIS PART BREAKING DOWN IS A DEFINITE FIRE HAZARD AND SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN OF DRIVING THE CAR ELSEWHERE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WAS 450.00 TO EVEN SEE IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL AT WHICH TIME IT WAS FOUND THE FUEL RAIL ITSELF WAS FAULTY AND LEAKING WITH A NOW BILL OF 1000.00. *TR

THIS IS THE FIRST BRAND NEW CAR I'VE EVER PURCHASED AND KEEP IT IN A GARAGE DURING THE DAY SINCE I HAVE TO DRIVE A WORK VEHICLE BETWEEN DAYTIME HOURS. THE GARAGE IS NOT AIR CONDITION BUT DOES NOT GET EXTREMELY HOT. THE SOFT RUBBER INTERIOR HAS DETERIORATED AND GOTTEN VERY STICKY AND BRITTLE. IT CAN BE RUBBED AWAY WITH A QUICK SWIPE OF YOUR FINGER. ITS AFFECTING MY DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR TRIM PANEL AT THE GRAB HANDLE. ITS CONSTANTLY FALLING APART AND GETTING GUMMY RESIDUE ON MY HANDS. THIS IS THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND ITS NOT FAIR TO US CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY EVIDENT MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OR WAS INFORMED OF ANY ACTION THEY WOULD PROVIDE FOR THIS FLAW. *TR
