2017: “I when to a car wash facility and the ics sensor when crazy!!! (flashing the warning light). Now my car giving me a ics malfunction. The automatic braking don't work and the parking assistance neither. I believe this is a manufacturing problem due same car model and year experience the same but it has different VIN so there is not a recall for my VIN.”

NHTSA complaint #11406205, filed 2021-04, 57,000 miles

2016: “I was driving down highway and heard a loud explosion. I was very shaken up. It was a scary experience. I was traveling 220 cross lake bridge and at time could not pull over. I kept hearing crunching noise above me. I opened sunroof inside cover and that's when I noticed the sunroof was shattered and it was what had exploded.”

NHTSA complaint #11404010, filed 2021-03, 68,000 miles

2013: “My 2013 Lexus awd rx 350 has a faulty wire harness which has shorted out its GPS navigation system, radio, and media center. I replaced the headlamp on the passengers side and the blast, but the 15 amp fuse continues to blow out. Therefore, the faulty wire harness has caused my headlights, GPS navigation system, and radio to no longer work.”
