“My car (insured) rear ended another party at less than 10 miles per hour. The pre-collision system that is part of my car never became active in my car and so I rear ended the car. Lexus inspected my rx-350 and have an unacceptable reason that it will not work, unless there is a noticeable speed difference between my car and the car ahead of me. The car was the problem and it did not work and so I rear ended the previous car. My lights were also broken and had to be replaced. Some electrical wiring rework was also done.”
