“Sun roof does not have the same pinch protection as side windows. The sun roof closed on my hand as I was demonstrating this feature. The brochure for the 2002 Lexus rx 300 states on page 43 under safety and security pinch protection for power windows and available sun nroof which I have on my car.”
NHTSA complaint #756621, filed 2002-01“The windshield glare from my 2002 Lexus rx 300 is so great that I can not drive the car during the day and safely see other vehicles to the left or right. I don't know how to correct this problem. I spoke to the dealer parts manager who told me it was very common and nothing could be done. Is that true? I am afraid to drive my car. I have tried covering the dash but it did not help. Have you considered this glare issue? The dealer said Lexus was aware of the problem and had made changes in design because of it.”
