• Recall 2015521 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles equipped with pre-collision system (pcs), the system could unexpectedly activate while operating the vehicle. Under certain situations, the system may interpret a steel joint or plate in the roadway as an obstacle, and the system may apply the service brake automatically. If the pcs applies unexpected braking force during normal vehicle operation when no impending collision object is present, it could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will disable the pre-collision system (pcs) as an interim measure, and when parts become available, will replace the pcs components with improved parts.

Driving on highway, 60mph. Friday jan 17th, 2020. 5pm. Cold out. Hear loud sound like gun shot. Startled me. Thought tire blew so pulled to shoulder on highway. Tires were fine and was like what the heck. Got back in car started to get back on highway and heard noise above my head. Looked up sliding door to sunroof vibrating. Slide open a bit and sunroof glass was gone. Pulled back over and got out and looked. Glass just exploded and big hole, see pics. Nothing fell on it or hit it. Next day shopped vac the glass and now waiting to get fixed.

Cpsc: the consumer stated that the smart ride device caused the lights on his dashboard to malfunction (abs light, brake light, etc.). Which caused him to have an accident in his car. *dt *js

My car has spoiler build on its trunk lid which caused the trunk lid to come down during minor wind causing serious body injury resulting in multiple stiches. From the examination of the vehicle, it was found that lexus did not leave air vent between the spoiler and surface if the trunk lid creating an air pocket resulting in smashing down the lid at extreme high speed. This incident happened when vehicle was parked in parking lot and i was filling the trunk with purchased groceries. From the airflow test we performed it was clear that lexus did not leave air vent to purge the air out, provide trunk lid more stability to stay open. Its also visible the trunk lid has weak hinges that hold the lid up when open and missing safety bars. The lid its self has sharp edges with no protective lining, hence act like a blade when lid hits any person. Lexus has inspected my vehicle and no report has been shared to me till i file this complain. I feel its design defect. The spoiler was installed for good reason, however lexus may not have performed safety tested when the trunk lid is in open conditions.

The car had a mind of it's own when i was backing out a parking spot it wouldn't allow me to press down the brake(like the abs was fighting me) to stop before it shortly crashed into a concrete pillar and then when i put it in drive it took off on me and crashed/stopped into a fence again wouldn't press down the brake to allow me to stop it before it crashed into a guard railing/fence. I quickly turned it off and back on before trying to back out of the crash and it acted fine after that. My deductible some how was $2,500 so i've yet to fix it because of the outrageous price since the accident the end of october of 2018(today's date 7-9-2019) since lexus wouldn't follow up on this when i tried to contact them when this accident happened. I'm going to have to default on this car since it's just dead weight and i can't use it as i attended it to be my ride share car(lyft, uber, turo) to help make ends meet with my single income single parenthood household.

While driving through downtown atlanta (moderate speed), on a saturday (no construction), and nowhere near any overpass (falling objects), our unopened sunroof exploded. We heard a loud "bang", and thought we had suffered a tire blowout, followed by another loud noise a few seconds later and could see something in the rear view mirror flying off the back of the roof. When we were able to pull over and stop, we found the glass in our sunroof had disintegrated.

Hybrid engine not fully working , estimated mpg 40 mpg car is only getting now 22.5 and is getting worse. My wife had the same problem with her lexus hybrid and the dealer denied problem for 3 months until they sent a serviceman from california to fix problem .

Every time i turn on the ac smell stinks . Even i replaced all air filters. I heard toyota camry had same issues
