Example complaints

“While driving on a freeway offramp alone about 10 pm monday august 31 our sunroof suddenly exploded outward. There was a boom in the car, that seemed like a tension release in the front left (driver side) of the vehicle. We did not immediately know what happened but when we stopped at home realized the sunroof had broken outward, glass spilled down into the vehicle when I opened the sunroof cover.”
NHTSA complaint #11352942, filed 2020-09, 105,000 miles“Major oil leaking from a faulty engine oil cooler line while car is moving or turned on. Oil is all over entire undercarriage, back bumper, back windshield & wiper and inside of tires. Garage floor and driveway have oil splattered everywhere. The whole back of car is cover in oil. After researching, I found this is a known issue for Lexus RX 350/450h models between 2009-2011. No oil or engine warning light came on. Even after the faulty part is repaired, my concern then becomes potential engine failure from lack of oil.”
NHTSA complaint #11330770, filed 2020-06, 128,000 miles“I am writing to you to describe a very dangerous characteristic of the Lexus RX 450h. I am lucky that a guardrail prevented me from going off a cliff and I am very concerned that other drivers will not be so fortunate. While driving down a slight incline on an inch of so of fresh snow in incline village, nevada at 25 MPH, I found myself out of control even though I had at least 200 feet to slow down for a turn; I hit a guardrail at 15 MPH, causing $20,000 worth of damage to my Lexus RX 450h. Needless to say, I traded it the next day for an RX 350h to avoid another similar experience. …”
NHTSA complaint #10394094, filed 2011-04, 2,300 miles“The radio and cd player and sirius radio stations will switch from fm to sirius radio station. Or, the cd player will stop and eject the cd and switch to sirius radio station. Or, the entertainment system will just shut off and you have to try to get it back on by pushing buttons on and off. This happens when in motion driving on a city street or highway. This has been going on for many years and continues.”
NHTSA complaint #11063824, filed 2018-01, 25,000 miles“Oil cooling line busted and completely emptied oil all over the road while driving. Was making loud noises and had to come to a complete stop and pull over”
