2010 LEXUS RX Complaints

THE HYBRID COMPUTER SYSTEM SHORTED DUE TO A LEAK WHERE THE ROOF RACK CONNECTS TO THE ROOF. THIS COMPUTER IS BELOW THE REAR SEAT AND IS NEXT TO THE HYBRID BATTERIES. THIS COMPARTMENT SHOULD BE SEALED TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION, AND IN NO SITUATION SHOULD WATER FROM THE ROOF BE ABLE TO REACH THIS COMPARTMENT. WATER ENTERING THIS AREA IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR THE CAR TO CEASE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY WHILE IT IS IN MOTION.

TOOK VEHICLE IN TO LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND WAS NOTIFIED OF "RACK & PINION" ISSUE, QUOTED $1256.00 TO FIX. AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE I HAVE REALIZED HOW COMMON THIS PROBLEM HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THESE VEHICLES AND IT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY LEXUS EVEN AFTER SO MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME ISSUE KEEP COMING FORWARD. THE DEALERSHIP JUST SAYS ITS PART OF MAINTENANCE, THIS HAS NEVER BEEN THE CASE BEFORE IN ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

CPSC: LEXUS HYBRID: CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE A WARNING MESSAGE OF HYBRID ENGINE BRAKE AND AWD FAILURE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND THE CONSUMER HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE GARAGE REPORTED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE FUEL SOLENOID HAD FAILED. BOTH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM. *JB

WHEN I WAS ON REVERSE GEAR IN MY LEXUS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, THERE WAS SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CRASHING MY LEXUS INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. I TRIED TO HIT THE BRAKES WHICH DID NOT WORK AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE PARKED CAR.

I SUFFERED BACK AND NECK PAIN WHILE LOADING THE REAR TRUNK OF MY LEXUS SUV. THE REMOTE DOOR CONTINUED TO CLOSE AND COULDN'T BE LIFTED FROM MY BODY THAT WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE DOOR AND REAR TRUCK AREA. I HAD TO CRAWL FROM UNDER THE CLOSING DOOR THAT WAS CRUSHING MY BACK TO PREVENT ADDITIONAL INJURIES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THE LEXUS HQ OFFICE WAS CONTACTED AND THERE IS A CURRENT CASE REPORT. THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN DULUTH GA FIXED THE REAR DOOR FREE OF CHARGE BY PLACING A SENSOR TO OPEN WHEN AN OBJECT OR PERSON IS BLOCKING THE DOOR WHILE CLOSING. OTHERS LEXUS AND TOYOTA SUV OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHEN TOLD WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. IM STILL TAKING MEDICATION FOR PAIN CAUSED BY THE INJURIES.

I WAS DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I JUST HEARD A BIG LOUD POP I LOOK AT THE SUN ROOF AND SEE SHADDER GLASS COMING DOWN ON ME. THERE WAS A BIG HOLE IN THE MIDDLE AND NOTHING COULD OF HIT ME THERE WAS NO ROCKS NEAR ME... WHEN I STOPED TO CHECK INSIDE THE TRUCK THERE WAS NOTHING THAT SHOWED WHAT COULD OF HIT THE SUN ROOF SUCH AS A ROCK... WE TOOK IT TO THE LEXUS DELAER AND SAID IT WAS THE 1ST TIME THEY HEARD ABOUT THIS... I RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS NOT THE 1ST ONE THAT HAS HAPPEN TO. ALSO THE SUN ROOF WAS POPING UP LIKE THE GLASS EXPLODED UPWORDS NOT AS IF SOMETHING FELT FROM THE TOP OF THE SUNROOF AS PER MANY COMMENTS OF PEOPLE THAT OWN A LEXUS 2010 HAS HAPPENED BEFORE

THE "ENGINE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" LIGHT WILL NOT RESET ANYMORE AFTER AN OIL CHANGE...EVEN AFTER YOU FOLLOW THE STEPS IN THE USERS MANUAL. IT USED TO WORK BECAUSE I'VE DONE IT BEFORE. NOW, NO MATTER WHAT I DO, IT WON'T RESET. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT MY WORKPLACE AT VERY LOW SPEED AND THE LEXUS ACCELERATED WILDLY OVER THE CURB ONTO PLANTS AND ICEPLANT INTO A TREE, WHICH STOPPED THE CAR. THE HOOD WAS DENTED, THE GRILL CRACKED AND THE BUMPER WAS RIPPED OFF BOTH SIDES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. THE EDR WAS SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED BY A 'NEUTRAL' THIRD PARTY AND I WAS CALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO COME PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND THE FACTORY WOULD RESPOND IN WRITING IN 30 DAYS. UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
