“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“When I try to start at the beginning of the day, I step on and break and press the ignition button, the car won't start and would give me a low break power light message. It will eventually start after about 5 or 6 tries. I only had the car since november 2018 and it already happened to me like 8 times.”
NHTSA complaint #11228543, filed 2019-06, 47,000 miles“I was driving my 2016 Lexus rx 350 exiting the highway when I heard a loud boom. It was loud like a shotgun. We didn't see or feel anything hit the car, but the noise was loud and scary. Since there was no obvious evidence of anything, I carefully opened my visor for my sunroof to see that my sunroof had shattered. It just exploded. Nothing hit it or fell on it. The sunroof was convex like it exploded and not concave like something had fallen on it.”
NHTSA complaint #11058438, filed 2018-01, 35,000 miles“Lexus made an fsport package for the Lexus RX350 which they have created a sport seat design that I have no issue for the passenger seat, but the driver seat on the left hand side where my thigh is I get a sharp pain on my leg after sitting on the seat for 15 minutes. I have gone to Lexus and complaint about the issue which they admitted I am not the only one who has complaint about the seat issue, but have yet done anything to resolve the pain I am experiencing.”
NHTSA complaint #11090439, filed 2018-04, 5 miles“I was at a stop light the car all of a sudden would no longer accelerate yet the car was in drive. I took it to the dealership and they can not replicate and so I am still driving the vehicle. Hoping it will not happen while driving.”
