Example complaints

Other or unknown: “The sunroof exploded while I was driving on the highway, traveling at approximately 70 mph. There was frost on the car & I had the defroster up high when initially getting into the car. However, by the time I got on the highway, it was turned down to the 2nd level. Prior to this occurring, I did not hear any noise or anything that would cause me to think there was something wrong with the sunroof. The explosion caused me to duck down immediately, but there were no other vehicles around me. The vehicle has been inspected and repaired. …”

NHTSA complaint #11699244, filed 2025-11

Electrical system: “The electrical system failed. It operates just about all the systems including items that are normally operated manually. My wife entered the car and pressed the start button and the car would not start. The car locked my wife inside with no manual method for opening the door. Fortunately, I was home at the time and was able to execute a manual release of the door using a key found inside the remote. Lexus sent a AAA service truck to jump start the engine. …”

Brakes: “A 3 cars collision involves this vehicle accelerating while my mom was holding on to the brake pedal. She was pulling into our home driveway, when suddenly it accelerate and hit my sister Prius and my dad's Rav4. See photos. No one pull into the driveway with their foot on the gas pedal. I strongly believe the agency should investigate this vehicle to capture a potential recall with this model. Available is a video of the door ring showing the car engine ramp up after forcefully stopped by two park cars.”
