Example complaints

Brakes: “About 15 miles into my drive to work in my 2015 Lexus rx 450h with only 6,300 miles, my dash panel indicated the following errors: check ABS, check bsm system, check headlight leveling system, brake malfunction, check hybrid system, check power steering system, speedometer at 0 MPH and every possible error light possible. As I attempted to slow down from 65 MPH on the interstate 5, I noticed I was experiencing complete brake failure and were not functioning properly. With aggressive force, I was able to engage the brakes but noticed an extremely loud metal on metal sound when doing so. …”

NHTSA complaint #11000255, filed 2017-06, 6,300 miles

Electrical system: “The contact owns a 2015 Lexus rx450h. The contact stated that the passenger door would not lock manually or with the vehicle remote. The doors would also not lock when the vehicle was in drive. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 52,000.”

NHTSA complaint #11233982, filed 2019-07, 52,000 miles

Engine: “Upon entering my garage, the car surged forward when I slightly applied a little pressure to the gas pedal. I turned the wheel to avoid a straight on collision, but still sustained much damage to both car and home. This was not the first time it surged, but was certainly the most severe since there was nowhere to go. The surge occurred after applying pressure to the gas pedal after a stop in front of the garage to open the door. In the past, the surge has always occurred (when it does happen) after a stop in trying to proceed forward. The car would 'jump'. No airbag deployed.”
