Vehicle has been reported before for similar problems. This time, no power, severe stumbling, lurching. Check engine light comes on along with warning indicators that the electrical systems have failed. Lexus notified again and vehicle will be towed to dealership. This car is dangerous and life threatening as we were in traffic with no power. Dealer did not notify us of any problems prior to sale but this car qualifies as a lemon under az law. Additionally, if other lexus owners are having this problem, they should immediately stop using the vehicle and park it before someone gets injured/killed.

Car does not speed when gas pressed, noise and car shakes. Engine check light on and screen showed trac off. Saw something with engine power issue. Parked car and called lexus emergency. Car at dealership and it is being inspected.

Vehicle stumbles and loses power when accelerating. Loss of power when passing. Both situations caused driver to abort action for fear of not having the power to enter the roadway or pass vehicles. Lexus dealership acknowledged the problem with this vehicle and said the fuel pump was replaced because of a recall. Problem continues to exist and is dangerous to driver and others. Dealer further recommended we “ change our driving habits “ to remediate the problem. Not acceptable.

While driving 65-70mph on the freeway, the car started dinging and one of the first messages that we saw was "pre-collision system malfunction" & "hybrid system malfuncion" followed by every other "system malfunction" and the gas pedal was no longer supplying gas to the car. We were in the fast lane and had to work over 3 or 4 lanes to get to the emergency lane/exit. Since we were at an exit, we took the exit and coasted as far as we could before the car came to a halt. Another car stopped to help us get completely off the road since we weren't fully in the emergency lane. After a few minutes we were able to crank the car and drive it a few miles to the dealership. We left the car at the dealership and they called the next day to inform us that the fuel pump had to be replaced. I did not find this vehicle to be part of any recall or lawsuit but several other lexus models are part of a recall/lawsuit due to a problem with the denso fuel pump. I'm not sure if my car has this same fuel pump. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Brake noise, like a seal is barking on application of brakes while driving. Dealer and lexus engineers state that it's normal, don't have a fix at the moment and released the vehicle. Brake was soft while driving and felt like brake pedal needs to be pushed much further to achieve braking on time.
