LEXUS Complaints

I CANT SEE IM BLINDED BY THE DASH BOARD ITS MELTING THE CLARE FROM THE SUN IS BLINDING ON THE DASH MELTED PLASTIC

WHILE DRIVING ON I-15 NEAR ST. GEORGE ON AN OVERCAST, BUT DRY ROAD, WE HEARD A LOUD BANG OR THUMP ON OUR VEHICLE. TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEAR. WE COULD FIND NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE. WHILE LISTENING TO A NEWS REPORT LAST EVENING, INVOLVING A PROBLEM WITH SPONTANEOUS SHATTERING OF SUNROOFS, I IMMEDIAELY WENT TO MY GARAGE TO LOOK AT MY SUNROOF AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS SHATTERED.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON REVERSE. IT DOES NOT TRAVERSE UNLESS I DRIVEN 30 MINUTES AND GOING 40 AMD HIGHER, THE RPMS START AT 4K THEN 5K AMD KEEPS GETTING HIGHER. THE ENGINES WANTS TO STALL FROM TIME TO TIME. THE SUSPENSION IS HARD, EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE SHOCKS

THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE COMPLAIN ANOTHER CAR OWNER HAS FILED. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE LEXUS OF PLEASONTON,CA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD NO MAJOR ACCIDENT OR NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. CAR HAS BEEN LIGHTLY USED WITH 80K MILES ON THE ODOMETER CURRENTLY. THE AIRBAG CONTAINER ON THE PASSENGER DASH HAS PROGRESSIVELY CRACKED AT THE TOPICAL SEAMS OVER TIME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD AN AIRBAG SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THIS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT AN UNTIMELY DEPLOYMENT AND IF THE CONTAINER WILL GET WORSE. AT NO TIME HAS THE AIRBAG BEEN MANIPULATED, REPAIRED, ETC SINCE MY OWNERSHIP.

AIR BAGS - LEXUS REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY DEPLOYED AIRBAGS DUE TO LIGHTLY SCRUBBING A CURB POWER TRAIN - THE AUXILIARY OIL PUMP ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED, AS IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN TO DO. THE BEARINGS INSIDE THE PUMP WEAR DOWN OVER TIME AND EVENTUALLY SIEZE. THIS LEADS TO THE VEHICLE BEING LIMITED TO 70 MILES PER HOUR AS WELL AS DISABLES THE HYBRID SYSTEM. THIS TRIGGERS MIL P2797.

THE DRIVER SEATBELT GETTING TIGHT. IT IS HARD TO PULL OUT AND HARD TO WITHDRAW.

STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE CAR.DRIVING IDILING AT A STAND STILLAND WHILE CAR IS THEN TURNED OFF AFTER RUNNING ALSO ANOTHER PROBLEM RELATED OR NOT BUT SHOWING UP AT THE SAME TIME WAS A BAD ODOR NOT THE SMELL OF GAS BUT THE SMELL OF ROTTEN EGGS IS PRESENT AFTER THE CAR EXCELLERATES THE SMELL IS STRONG AND PUNGENT INSIDE VEHICLE ALSO

WE TOOK A CAR FOR LEASE FROM LEXUS. THE FIRST WEEK, WE REALIZED THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING WELL. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEN, A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. LAST WEEK, AFTER 2 YEARS, I WAS DRIVING AND SO WAS MY DAUGHTER ( TWO DIFFERENT TIMES ) AND WE COULDN'T BREAK THE CAR. THE CAR DROVE RIGHT PAST THE INTERSECTION ON A RED LIGHT. THANK GOD THERE WAS NO PEDESTRIANS OR VEHICLES AT THAT SECOND. WE BROUGHT IT TO ALEXUS AND THEY TESTED THE BRAKES AND SAW A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THE PRESSURE WAS LOW AND THE METAL WAS SCRAPING. THEY ASKED FOR A LARGE SUM AND SAID WE NEVER COMPLAINED BEFORE.

BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS STOPPED WORKING WITHIN A WEEK JUST AFTER 65,000 MILES. THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHERS OUT THERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THIS GENERATION GS350. HOPE TO SEE LEXUS RECALL TO MAINTAIN QUALITY AND RELIABILITY REPUTATION. THE REPAIR COSTS ARE VERY UNREASONABLE.

OIL CONSUMPTION. VEHICLE HAS NO LEAKS AND NEEDS 1QUART OF OIL ADDED EVERY 2K MILES. CAR HAS 150K AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. IT USES VALVOLINE 5W-30 FULL SYNTHETIC OIL AND GETS CHANGED EVERY 4-5K MILES OF OIL USAGE. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND TOYOTA/LEXUS IS NOT WILLING TO HELP OUT WITH THIS ISSUE.
