LEXUS Complaints

NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SLIP INDICATOR ON - NEXT DAY MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY ROAD ' VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 15-20 MPH. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART IT WOULD ROUGHLY ENGAGE THEN SHUT DOWN AGAIN. CONTACTED A CERTIFIED LOCAL LEXUS MECHANIC HAD THE CAR TOWED TO HIS SHOP. AFTER ASSESSMENT HE DETERMINED THE VEHICLE'S FUEL PUMP "DISINTEGRATED" INTERNALLY. WHEN THEY CHECKED FUEL PRESSURE AT THE RAIL THERE WERE PARTICLES IN THE FUEL ' UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE SPARKS PLUG WERE FOULED AND FUEL INJECTORS CLOGGED. THE MECHANIC INDICATED HE HAD RECENTLY SEEN THE SAME ISSUE A MONTH EARLIER HOWEVER WITH A TOYOTA FJ. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I RAN ACROSS THE FUEL PUMP RECALL ISSUED BY TOYOTA FOR CERTAIN MODELS (JANUARY 2020) HTTPS://PRESSROOM.TOYOTA.COM/TOYOTA-IS-CONDUCTING-A-SAFETY-RECALL-INVOLVING-CERTAIN-TOYOTA-AND-LEXUS-VEHICLES-2/ ALTHOUGH MY MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL MY VEHICLE MIMICS THE BEHAVIOR OF THOSE RECALLED. INDICATOR LIGHTS, LOSS OF POWER AND ULTIMATELY AN ASSESSMENT OF FUEL PUMP ISSUES LEADING TO A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER.

2012 LEXUS CT200H HAS THE SAME BRAKE BOOSTER, ASSEMBLY ISSUE ALL 3RD GENERATION TOYOTA PRIUS'S HAVE. THE ABS/BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHTS ALL COME IN, AND BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY IS LIMITED. ATTACHED IS A SCAN OF THE ISSUE, I HAVE SINCE CALLED LEXUS AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE ISSUE.

THE LEXUS NX 300 F SPORT HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. THE COLLUSION SYSTEM HAS PLACE MY FAMILY AS WELL AS MYSELF IN IMMEDIATE DANGER TO THE POINT THAT I DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BRAKED UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON BACK ROADS WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS . WE HAVE HAD THIS LEASE FOR ONE YEAR AND 9 MONTHS AND THE PROBLEM STARTED AT 15,000 MILES AND HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 7 TIMES MOST IMPORTANTLY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSE A PILE UP ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO OUR DESIGNATED LEXUS DEALERSHIP EACH TIME AND BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE DURING THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING THEY CONTINUE TO PUSH US AWAY. WE HAVE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER AND DUE TO A FAULTY CAR THAT WE WERE GIVEN THEY HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. MY HUSBAND AND I ALSO REACHED OUT TO LEXUS CORPORATE AND THEY STATE THAT ON THE SERVICE DOCUMENTATION NOT ONCE HAVE THEY STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED, WHICH SHOWS THE REGARD FOR OUR SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORITY . MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE TRIED TO WORK THIS ISSUE OUT IN HOUSE, BUT NOW WE HAVE DECIDED TO EXERCISE OUR CONSUMER RIGHTS AS A CUSTOMER. WE ARE EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED AND THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OF THE ROAD AS OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN IN DANGER AND THE VEHICLE IS TRULY UNSAFE.

WAS ON FREEWAY, HEARD A LOUD POP , LOOKED AROUND AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK, SAW SOMETHING FLY OFF VEHICLE IN REARVIEW MIRROR. NOW THERE IS A SOUND OF WIND RUSHING, CHECK WINDOWS ALL CLOSED, DECIDED TO PULL OF FREEWAY TO SEE IF THERE WAS DAMAGED TO VEHICLE . STOPPED GOT OUT DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING UP TILL WE LOOKED AT THE ROOF AN SAW A HOLE. LOOKED LIKE IT BLOW OUT NOT IN , DID NOT NOTICE IN THE CAR BECAUSE SUNROOF COVER WAS CLOSED.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SQUEAKING WHEN BEING ELECTRONICALLY TILTED BACK WITH THE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

HVAC SERVO MOTOR MALFUNCTION. FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AC BLOWING OUTSIDE TEMP. IT DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR. CODE B1455 PRESENT. IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY AT 25000 MILES.

FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR BARKS EVERY TIME BREAK PEDAL IS PRESSED AT ANY SPEED. CONSTANT BEEPING INSIDE MY CAR, COULDN'T FIGURE WHAT IT WAS OR WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. BAD BRAKE BOOSTER AND "ACTUATOR". SAFETY!!!

MY DASHBOARD IS SO SHINNY I HAVE TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE IF THE SUN IS FACING ME. MY LOCAL ATLANTA DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME ABOUT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAD RECALL ......BUT DID NOT INFORM ME ABOUT THE DASH RECALL. I FELT BETRAYED AND CALLED LEXUS CORPORATE WITH NO RESULTS. WHY IS NOT A SYSTEM ON PLACER TO NOTIFY OWNERS WHEN A RECALL IS ISSUED BY CORPORATE INSTEAD OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP? MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS HENNESSY LEXUS OF ATLANTA.

OUR 2011 LEXUS RX 350 OIL COOLER LINE FAILED CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE. A FAMILY MEMBER WAS DRIVING AND THE LOSS OF MOTOR OIL COULD HAVE LOCKED THE ENGINE AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LEXUS IS WILLING TO PAY FOR THE PART, BUT NOT REPAIR THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE FAILED OIL COOLER LINE.

WHEN DRIVING, SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN, PUTTING FOOT BACK ON GAS....FEELS EITHER LIKE GEAR SLIPPING OR FUEL INJECTION SLIP. MAKES QUICK CATCH AND JUMPS. ALSO, WHEN COMING TO STOP, FEELS LIKE STALLING. VERY SCARY.
