RADIO WILL CHANGE AUTOMATICALLY BY ITSELF FROM RADIO TO OTHER SOURCE CD, CHANGE TO SAT AND EJECT A CD WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING. LEXUS COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN TAKEN IN.

I SEARCHED ONLINE AND I FIND THIS HAPPENS TO OTHER CUSTOMERS SO I WANTED TO DOCUMENT THIS DEFECT. *TR

COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. LEXUS DRIVER'S SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN DRIVER AND AIRBAG BLEW OPEN ALLOWING DRIVER TO IMPACT STEERING WHEEL HARD ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN A FRACTURED STERNUM AND CHEST WALL INJURY. .UPDATED 11/03/14 *BF UPDATED 7/15/2015*JS UPDATED 09/04/15 *BF

LEXUS RX450 WAS TRAVELING DOWN A ONE-WAY ROAD AND APPROACHED A STOP SIGN GOING 35 MPH. AFTER RUNNING THROUGH THE STOP SIGN DURING LATE HOURS OF THE NIGHT, THE LEXUS DROVE DIRECTLY INTO A DARK PRIVATE PARKING LOT, CONTINUING AT THE 35 MPH, BOUNCING THROUGH A DEEP POTHOLE AT THE PARKING LOT ENTRANCE (BREAKS WERE PUSHED BUT NOT ENGAGED) WHICH LED TO THE COLLISION WITH A PERPENDICULAR, PROPERLY PARKED LIMO. NO BRAKE IMPRESSIONS ON THE GROUND ALTHOUGH BRAKES WERE PUSHED. AIR BAGS DID DEPLOY. PASSENGER WAS KNOCKED OUT, SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION AND HAD TO BE PULLED OUT OF VEHICLE. CAR WAS RETITLED AS SALVAGE, AS WELL AS THE LIMO THAT WAS HIT. *TR

I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A DRIVEWAY ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. A JEEP BEHIND ME WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND TRIED TO PASS ME ON THE LEFT WHILE I WAS TURNING. THE IMPACT WAS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I WAS HIT SO HARD HIS BUMPER TORE A WHOLE IN THE DOOR AND BROKE THE FRONT WHEEL OFF FROM MOVING ME SIDEWAYS. I WAS KNOCKED OUT FROM THE CONCUSSION AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY GATHERING MY WITS. I WAS SHOCKED THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THANK GOODNESS I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON! *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE PASSING LANE AT ABOUT 55 MPH. THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT AND LEVEL. THE ROAD WAS COVERED WITH A THIN COATING OF SLUSH. WHILE DRIVING THE ALARM SIGNAL BEGAN BEEPING. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR THEN BEGAN DRIFTING TO THE LEFT, IN THE NEXT FEW SECONDS THE LEFT WHEELS WERE 2 FEET OVER THE LEFT LANE. I TRIED TO GET THE CAR BACK INTO THE LANE BUT THE STEERING DID NOT RESPOND. A FEW SECONDS LATER THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT AND ROTATE TO THE RIGHT. I THEN APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THEY HAD LITTLE EFFECT. EVENTUALLY THE CAR SLID OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT STOPPING ABOUT 75 FT OFF THE ROAD, DOWN A 20 FOOT SLOPE. I BELIEVE THAT THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM FAILED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

TRAFFIC ON I 5 N CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I STEPPED HARD ON THE BRAKES. THE ABS FUNCTION DID NOT WORK AND MY CAR SKIDDED AND WOULD HAVE GONE INTO THE LANE ON MY RIGHT IF I HAD NOT CORRECTED THE SKID. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH POTENTIAL BODILY INJURIES. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM AND THAT THIS COULD BE ONE IN A THOUSAND INCIDENT. I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL OTHER MANUFACTURERS AUTOS WITH ABS AND KNOW THAT THE LEXUS EXPERIENCE IS NOT HOW NORMAL ABS BRAKES SHOULD FUNCTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS DRIVING HAZARD AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE FROM LEXUS TO DATE. UPDATED 04/08/14
