I-??ve approximately the last 45 thousand miles, Lexus dealers have replaced the brake actuator and other components of the brake system on this vehicle at least 6 times due to noise issues. Lexus has stated that this is not a safety issue, I have an open ticket with Lexus, but yesterday I had to slam on the brakes and did not get nearly the response that should have come right away. There are no warning lights, as far as I can tell the traction control didn-??t engage, and eventually the car suddenly started breaking much harder, but it was very delayed l, and disproportionate with any additional force applied. Lexus knows the brake system is an issue in this model to the point where they are covering the system for 10 years or 150,000 miles, but to say that it isn-??t a safety issue seems short-sighted. This system works in conjunction with the radar sensors adaptive cruise control, and I-??ve had. This car has also had a number of seeming electrical issues, with every door lock actuator replaced at least once, some of them more than once, and the infotainment system shuts down and reboots randomly or freezes.

While vehicle was being driven into the garage the vehicle suddenly accelerated on it own without driver pushing on gas pedal. Vehicles automatic emergency braking did not engage. Vehicle then struck steel shelving and wooden cupboards causing considerable damage to vehicle. The body shop where the vehicle was taken for repair experienced the same surging phenomena when they moved the vehicle. There were no system warning lamps visible prior to the episode. The vehicle has not been inspected by Lexus.

Vehicle has been reported before for similar problems. This time, no power, severe stumbling, lurching. Check engine light comes on along with warning indicators that the electrical systems have failed. Lexus notified again and vehicle will be towed to dealership. This car is dangerous and life threatening as we were in traffic with no power. Dealer did not notify us of any problems prior to sale but this car qualifies as a lemon under AZ law. Additionally, if other Lexus owners are having this problem, they should immediately stop using the vehicle and park it before someone gets injured/killed.

The contact owns a 2019 Lexus RX350. When it rained, water entered the vehicle and caused the park assist system to malfunction. The instrument panel illuminated as if the vehicle was about to rear end the preceding vehicle and the "Lexus park assist not available" indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Lexus of greenville (864-551-2359, located at 2660 laurens rd, greenville, SC 29607) where it was diagnosed that there was a design flaw. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and had twenty-four hours to call the contact back. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact traded in a 2018 model for the current vehicle due to the same failure. The failure mileage was 980.
