The braking, steering and suspension components are malfunctioning and are extremely rusted. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety as well as my passengers, other motorists and pedestrians with children and pets on the roads and highways safety is compromised due to the vehicle violently and unexpectedly pulling left and right, losing contact with the road over rough road surfaces and shaking uncontrollably during deceleration. I cannot state with certainty that the dealerships have reproduced the problem and I have not been given written permission to take my vehicle to an independent service center after numerous complaints. I cannot confirm that the vehicle or components have been inspected by the manufacturer, however no police, or insurance representatives have inspected my vehicle. There were no warning lamps or messages displayed on my vehicle's instrument panels, however, there were symptoms such as shaking, rattling, uncomfortable and uncharacteristic handling and a feeling of a serious problem or defect prior to the suspension lower arm assembly being replaced and diagnosis of broken steering column bushings, circa 2021. As of today, the low tire pressure light stays on constantly.

Moon roof exploded while driving at 60 mph--glass flew all over the road--it could have impacted oncoming traffic. I didn't see anything that might have hit the moon roof. I was able to control the car but had to drive 45 miles home at 35 mph as wind kept blowing back the interior cover.

Three major issues with this car, and lots of minor ones. 1. the brakes did not engage while slowing down in traffic. Hitting the brakes caused the car to lurch forward. 2. the electrical system seemed to turn off and all internal/external lights went off at night and I was unable to see the road. 3. the car slips and the systems to counteract slipping did not engage. There are issues with the navigation, the enform system and many other issues. Repeated attempts to resolve the problem with Lexus have met with no success.

After starting engine we began to hear crackling noises similar to electrical sounds. This persisted for about 30 minutes. We visited our dealer and were told that it is normal. We do not believe this. The crackling noises would only be evident for a short time after this. Now we are hearing these noises louder and more often throughout the day. We have no idea whether we have a safety issue or not, however we feel unsafe. We notified Lexus and are waiting for a response.
