2010 Lexus RX350 Body and structure Problems

“While the car was parked, the front bumper came loose after a minor contact with another vehicle. Almost the same happened a year earlier while car was barely moving and rearended a small honda car, which was not even scratched, the whole front end then had to be replaced because the screws and plastic fasteners attaching the bumper to the body broke off.”

“While slowly pulling into parking space in the parking lot of the local post office, with foot on brake pedal car quickly accelerated forward with engine reaving. Car shot forward going over concrete car stops toward a creek and smashed into a stand of trees. Driver airbags deployed. Complete front of vehicle including hood and windshield were smashed and driven into engine compartment. I believe this is a case of unintended acceleration caused by the vehicle malfunctioning. There have been multiple documented complaints of this happening in Lexus rx 350 vehicles. …”

“I suffered back and neck pain while loading the rear trunk of my Lexus SUV. The remote door continued to close and couldn't be lifted from my body that was stuck between the door and rear truck area. I had to crawl from under the closing door that was crushing my back to prevent additional injuries that could have been fatal. The Lexus hq office was contacted and there is a current case report. The Lexus dealership located in duluth ga fixed the rear door free of charge by placing a sensor to open when an object or person is blocking the door while closing. …”

“The automatic liftgate on the back of my new Lexus SUV crushed my mother against the deck while she was reaching in to load something into the car. She was nearly decapitated and there did not seem to be any safety mechanism that would stop the liftgate from closing, such as you would find on a garage door. I frantically pushed the button on the key fob and finally the door stopped closing. At that point my mothers neck was pined against the deck. I hit the button again and thankfully it lifted back up. My mother ended up with a wrenched neck and bad headache. …”

“The contact owns a 2010 Lexus RX350. After crashing into a snow embankment the front bumper was cracked and loose. No one was injured. The vehicle was drivable and was not taken to the dealer; however, when the dealer was called, they informed her to bring the vehicle in for inspection. The bumper cost $900 to repair. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 29,000.”
