LEXUS Complaints

THE LEXUS ES 350, WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO SIDE STREET WITHIN A SUB DIVISION, AND RAN UP THE CURB AND HIT A TREE WITH THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR, AND SO MUCH DAMAGED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED BY INSURANCE COMPANY. DRIVER UNSURE IF VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN OR JUST LOST CONTROL. THE GREATER ISSUE OR CONCERN WAS NOT WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT, BUT THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER THE IMPACT AND THE DRIVER BROKE THEIR NOSE AND HAS BEEN TREATED 3 TIMES IN ER SINCE CRASH. IN SPEAKING WITH REPAIR SHOP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE 2 AIR BAG SENSORS AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AND BOTH ARE NEAR THE HEADLIGHTS. HE WAS SURPRISED THAT GIVEN THE DAMAGE AND IMPACT OF THE COLLISION (TO RIGHT FRONT OF CAR BY HEADLIGHT, PICTURES ATTACHED), THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

INTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR DEVELOPED BLACK MARKINGS THROUGHOUT MIRROR MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO VISUALIZE REARVIEW TRAFFIC. THE RESPONSE FROM LEXUS IS THAT THE GLASS ITSELF OR THE MATERIALS BEHIND THE GLASS ARE BREAKING DOWN RESULTING IN THE FUNCTIONAL LOSS OF THE REARVIEW MIRROR WHICH NOW HAS BECOME DANGEROUS FOR DRIVING. HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE OVER PAST SEVERAL YEARS. LEXUS IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND OCCURS IN A NUMBER OF THEIR OLDER MODELS BUT IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRING OR REPLACING MIRROR WHICH COSTS THE CONSUMER ALMOST $2000 FOR A NEW REPLACEMENT WHICH IS FINANCIALLY UNOBTAINABLE FOR MANY OWNERS.

MY CAR HAS ONLY 80,000 MILES IS 2010 AND IS TELLING ME TO CHECK THE HYBRID SISTEM THE HYBRID BATTERY IS SUPPOSED TO WORK LONGER MORE MILES I REALLY NEED HELP

WHEN DRIVING THE THE VSC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN I'I WAS DRIVING, MY VEHICLE GOT STUCK IN 3RD GEAR ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN ABRUPTLY BECAUSE MY RPM'S WERE HIGH DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. I DIDNT WANT TO BLOW OUT MY ENGINE DUE TO HIGH RPM'S AND I SLOWED DOWN SUDDENLY. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS REASON.

2008 LEXUS RX400H: ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZER CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY. BRAKE LOST INTEGRITY, HAVE TO PRESS HARDER ON BRAKES FOR THEM TO WORK. DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE AS I DO NOT WANT TO INJURE OR KILL ANYONE. RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND ERROR CODES C1256 AND C1365 CAME UP. THESE CODES POINT TO THE BRAKE ACCUMULATOR FAILURE. REPAIR IS QUOTED AT $3200 BY TOYOTA DEALER. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IS A VERY COMMON SAFETY ISSUES WITH TOYOTA VEHICLES. MY BROTHERS PRIUS HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS POSSIBLE A RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT HAS ENDED A FEW MONTHS AGO. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS IS NOT A STANDING SAFETY RECALL AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FROM MY RESEARCH AND REPORTS FROM PERSONAL ACQUAINTANCES IT IS VERY APPARENT THAT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. I CAN NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE OR JUSTIFY SPENDING $3200 FIXING A KNOW SAFETY DEFECT.

THE OIL COOLER LINE IS MADE FROM RUBBER AND FAILED. THIS FAILURE LED TO THE LOSS OF ALL ENGINE OIL AND CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET.
