2007 Lexus RX350 Electrical system Problems

“I have noticed for sometime while driving with my wife.the airbag light on the panel for the passenger side does not come on. Sometimes it comes on after we have been driving for a while.I figure the airbag will not work if we were in an accident.I have no idea how many cars could be effected with this issue.”

“Lost power on highway my RX350 (2007) lost power going 65 MPH on a highway, and began to slow down quickly. With a truck on one side and another barreling down my behind, I tried to accelerate but the vehicle began to shudder and shake violently! By some miracle, I managed to swerve to the shoulder across 2 lanes, and avoided getting hit by inches! Got the vehicle to the Lexus dealer and they found out that it was a premature ignition coil failure - the vehicle has only about 42000 mi on it. …”

“I have now had to replace 3 ignition coils. I only have the paperwork for 2 times, but each time the car began to run rough and the engine went off at stops, and the electrical system light went on. The first time this happened, which I think was in 2010, the Lexus technician said it was a fluke.

This last time (today), the technician said replacing faulty ignition coils is now common, and just a part of maintenance. …”

“Our two 2007 Lexus rx-350 (and all models 2004-2009) have electromagnetic field near the dashboard of approximately 100 milliguass. This is causing our knees and hand cells to degenerate as Lexus has not done adequate job of providing faraday cage or shielding from emf. This reading of 100 milliguass is what you find under high voltage transmission lines and studies have linked 2 to 3 milliguass to childhood leukemia, cancer, headaches or cell deneration. I contacted Lexus customer service but they brushed off our safety concern, saying most household appliances produce emf. …”

“The passenger side outside mirror exploded sending glass shards and caustic liquid on the side window and painted surface of the door and fender areas. Explosion was spontaneous with no apparent cause, ambient temp 50's, no bird strike, thrown rock or projectile. Explosion was gun-shot loud. Vehicle was being driven at 10mph on neighborhood street. No other moving cars at the time and the mirror did not come in contact with anything. Internet search of exploding mirrors revealed similar complaints from owners of many brands of vehicles. …”
