2007 Lexus ES350 Equipment Problems

“I had an accident that was very severe and airbags did not deploy. I filed a complaint with Lexus and did not get a satisfactory answer. I felt the impact through the steering wheel. All I want to know why airbags did not deploy. Please help me with that.”

“2007 es 350 accelerator did not return to normal after accelerating. Instead, slow and sluggish pedal return was experienced by me as driver. I was on the highway and had the luxury of waiting for pedal to return. Only happened one time; floor mats were in car at the time but I do not believe they had anything to do with event. Floor mats were removed with recall notice in 2009”

“June 9, 2009 my 2007 es 350 Lexus took off with me reaching a frightening speed of 95 miles an hr when I reached the mat under my right knee and yanked the carpet and at last freed the gas and brake pedal.

The design of the clips is poor. 2) the floor mat slid forward. …”

“On 07/2009 we took our 2007 Lexus ES350 in for service with 20k miles. It was being taken in for a brake problem, faulty visor and vehicle tilted/leaning. I was advised that the brakes had 1mm left (near brake failure). A Lexus tech replaced the brakes, visor and confirmed that the vehicle was tilted/leaning. Since then the vehicle returned several times for service including but not limited to the following: brakes and tilt/leaning. The brakes were replaced again and another tech confirmed that the vehicle was tilted/leaning with visual and physical inspection. …”
