2013 Lexus ES300H 4 DR FWD

The automatic door locks have stopped working. I have had to replace 3 out of the 4 door lock actuators in the car. When they go out I am unable to use the door lock sensors and have to manually lock my doors. It also affects my ability to use the key fob remote to lock and unlock my door. I replaced 2 in 2018 and 1 in 2021

ENGINE STALLS WHEN TURNING LEFT REDUCING POWER STEERING BOOST UNTIL DRIVER LIFTS FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL AND REPUSHES TO REGAIN POWER STEERING BOOST ON CITY STREETS AT LOW SPEED FROM STOPPED POSITION.

THE PCS (PRE COLLISION SYSTEM) WARNING ICON FLASHED IN THE DISPLAY INDICATING THAT THE PCS WAS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A HIGHWAY. PULLED OVER TO LOOK IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ONLY TO FIND THAT THE MANUAL TOLD ME TO STOP. WE PROCEEDED TO RETURN HOME WITHOUT EXPERIENCING ANY ADVERSE HANDLING. I REALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR NOT KNOWING IF THE PCS SYSTEM WILL FAIL.

MY 2013 LEXUS ES 300H HAS GOT A WEAK BRAKES, SOMETIMES WOULD MAKE SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN YOU HOLD THEM AND FEW TIMES WOULDN'T BRAKE WHEN BRAKING ON A BIT ROUGH ROAD. I WAS AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND WENT TO LEXUS DEALER TO PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THAT MY CAR NEEDS A BRAKE ACTUATOR TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE PROCEDURE. HOWEVER, PEOPLE IN A DEALERSHIP ADMITTED THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE CARS AND MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET CONFIRMED IT AS WELL. ALSO, LEXUS ISSUED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR AN ABS FAILURE BUT SOMEHOW YOU ARE QUALIFIED ONLY WHEN YOUR ABS FAIL. THAT'S SOUNDS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. I DID MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT IN 2016 IN AUSTRALIA LEXUS HAS RECALLED 2013 AND ABOVE LEXUS ES MODELS BECAUSE OF BRAKE ACTUATOR AND ABS MODULE MALFUNCTION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ARE THE SAME MODELS NOT BEING RECALLED IN USA FOR THE SAME VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

THE LEXUS ES 350, WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO SIDE STREET WITHIN A SUB DIVISION, AND RAN UP THE CURB AND HIT A TREE WITH THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR, AND SO MUCH DAMAGED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED BY INSURANCE COMPANY. DRIVER UNSURE IF VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN OR JUST LOST CONTROL. THE GREATER ISSUE OR CONCERN WAS NOT WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT, BUT THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER THE IMPACT AND THE DRIVER BROKE THEIR NOSE AND HAS BEEN TREATED 3 TIMES IN ER SINCE CRASH. IN SPEAKING WITH REPAIR SHOP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE 2 AIR BAG SENSORS AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AND BOTH ARE NEAR THE HEADLIGHTS. HE WAS SURPRISED THAT GIVEN THE DAMAGE AND IMPACT OF THE COLLISION (TO RIGHT FRONT OF CAR BY HEADLIGHT, PICTURES ATTACHED), THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK VIA KEY FOB ON 3 DOORS. LEXUS WANTS $800 PER DOOR TO FIX. HAVE MANUALLY LOCKED CAR FOR ONE YEAR; NOW CANNOT MANUALLY LOCK DOOR AS THE MANUAL LOCK NO LONGER LOCKS. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE AS CAR REMAINS UNLOCKED AT ALL TIMES.

RECENTLY ACQUIRED LISTED PRE-OWNED, CERTIFIED VEHICLE. BOUGHT WHEEL AND TIRE COVERAGE. HAND WASHED CAR AFTER 4-DAYS OF OWNERSHIP AND DISCOVERED BROKE WHEEL. DEALER SAYS THE STYLE WHEEL ON THE VEHICLE IS ROUTINELY REPAIRED BY THEM (NOT REPLACED.) DEALER REP (WESLEY PETERS, SEWELL LEXUS, DALLAS) WHEEL IS COMMONLY DAMAGED BY IMPROPER TORQUEING OF LUG NUTS. LEXUS DRIVERS I KNOW DO NOT KNOW THE TORQUE SPECS NOR DO THEY CARRY A TORQUE WRENCH. HAVE A FLAT? GOOD LUCK YOU DO NOT BREAK A WHEEL WHILE CHANGING FLAT! SEWELL LEXUS IS NOW REPAYING THE WHEEL NOT HONORING THE WHEEL AND TIRE COVERAGE AND REPLACING IT! WRITER HAS CONTACTED LEXUS NORTH AMERICA CONCERNING THE PROBLEM. DEALER REP PETERS ALSO STATED THE FIRM ROUTINELY REPAIR ALL STYLES OF LEXUS WHEELS AND WRITER SHOULD NOT BE CONCERNED. COULD THE NHTSA PLEASE LOOK INTO WHY LEXUS WHEELS SHOULD REQUIRE REPAIR BEFORE SOMEONE BOUNCES OF THE HIGHWAY WITH A BROKE WHEEL.

ABS BRAKE FAILURE CODE C1391 BRAKES FAILED TO FUNCTION DURING EMERGENCY STOP WHILE IN MOTION DRY CITY STREET, LUCKY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. COST OF REPAIR $ 5000.00 BY LEXUS DEALER. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH BOTH LEXUS AND TOYOTA VEHICLES. ALSO CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK AFTER THIS HAPPENED AS THE ABS SYSTEM IS NOW DISABLED. ``````````````````

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FACING UPHILL IN MY DRIVEWAY. I STARTED THE CAR AND SET THE GEAR SHIFT/SELECTOR (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) TO DRIVE POSITION WHILE CHECKING THAT THE BACKUP CAMERA WAS NOT ENGAGED. I RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BREAK WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND CONFIRMED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN DRIVE AND THAT THE BACKUP CAMERA HAD NOT ENGAGED. I RELEASED THE BREAK AND ACCELERATED TO GO UP THE HILL. THE CAR ACCELERATED IN REVERSE. I HIT THE BREAKS AND CONFIRMED AGAIN THAT THE GEAR SHIFT WAS CLEARLY IN DRIVE POSITION EVEN THOUGH I HAD NOW REVERSED AND CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE DOOR THAT HAD BEEN BEHIND ME. I THEN SET THE GEAR SHIFT TO PARK POSITION AND TURNED OFF THE CAR.

VEHICLE DOOR LOCKS AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY. ISSUE CAUSES VEHICLE THE ABILITY TO LOCK WITH KEY FOB INSIDE AND DOORS NOT TO LOCK UPON EXITING VEHICLE.

THE CAR EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION EVENT WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. WHILE THE DRIVER'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL AND BOUNCED OVER A CURB, DOWN A HILL, STRIKING A PICK UP AND A TREE.

CPO 2013 ES350 BOUGHT JANUARY 2, 2016 AT LEXUS DEALERSHIP, WHICH HAS BEEN KEPT IN AN IN-DOOR GARAGE, AND IS LIGHTLY DRIVEN. MID-APRIL 2017 BATTERY WAS DEAD, JUMP STARTED BUT THEN BATTERY DIED THE NEXT DAY. I BROUGHT VEHICLE TO ANOTHER LEXUS DEALERSHIP ON MAY 20, 2017. THEY CLAIMED BATTERY NOT WARRANTIED. I DISCOVERED THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO BOUGHT CAR OCTOBER 2012 HAD REPLACED THE BATTERY IN 2015 WHICH MADE ME CURIOUS AS TO WHY IT WAS REPLACED SO SOON, AND WHY IT DIDN'T LAST VERY LONG. THE SERVICE MANAGER THEN MENTIONED THAT I NEEDED A COMPUTER COMPONENT WHICH HE HOPED WAS UNDER MY WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN. I RESEARCHED THIS PART, AND APPARENTLY LEXUS HAS KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THIS COMPONENT, WHICH WAS PROBABLY DEFECTIVE CAUSING BATTERY PROBLEMS BY NOT GOING INTO "SLEEP MODE" AND SLOWLY DRAINING AND KILLING BATTERIES. THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE ON BLOGS (ONE OF WHICH IS ATTACHED).

I AM NOT SURE IT IT IS ENGINE OR FUEL BUT MY PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: WHILE DRIVING AND WITH NO WARNING MY 2013 LEXUS ES 350 HESITATES TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON LOCAL AND HIGHWAY ROADS. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE COME ACROSS TWO SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE WHEN YOU LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN IT IS MOST NEEDED.

I WAS PARKING MY CAR ON A COMMERCIAL COMPLEX. I AM PRESSING ON THE BRAKE AS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. WHEN I FURTHER PRESSED ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR INSTEAD OF TAKING A COMPLETE STOP, ACCELERATED. IT HIT THE BUILDING IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN TRYING TO BACK UP, IT ACCELERATED AGAIN IN REVERSE. I PRESSED THE BRAKE REALLY HARD THEN IT STOPPED.

WAS DRIVING IN WEST SACRAMENTO , WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE, CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM ALARMS WENT OFF.WITHIN 1 MINUTE , THE CAR WENT DEAD, NO POWER, NO STEERING. IF I WAS ON AN EXPRESS WAY , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GUARANTEED FATALITY FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND OTHER CARS INVOLVED. THE DEALERSHIP , LEXUS OF SACRAMENTO TOLD ME THE COMPUTER FAILED IN THE CAR. THE CAR HAS ONLY 55,000 MILES ON IT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF PARTS USED BY LEXUS. *TR

PARKED IN PARKING RAMP FRONT IN.BACKED OUT SLOWLY, TAPPED PILLAR AT REAR MOVED FORWARD TO ADJUST STEERING, REVERSED AGAIN, THEN ENGINE ACCELERATED SLAMMED ME BACK INTO PILLAR, STEERING WHEEL TURNED RIGHT ENGINE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE HIGH SPEED UP THE RAMP. I TIRED TO PUT THROTTLE IN N, DID NOT SLOW DOWN, SLAMMED ONE FOOT ON BRAKE, DID NOT SLOW DOWN, THEN SLAMMED BOTH FEET ON BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DID STOP BEFORE HITTING CEMENT FENCE.

NHTSA RECALL 15V728 WAS ISSUED ON 11/3/2015. LEXUS HAS AN TEMPORARY FIX THAT SIMPLY DISABLES THE PRE-COLLISSION SYSTEM. THERE HAS BEEN NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS GETTING ANY INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM APPLIES TO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

THE CAR WAS IN A VERY BAD FRONT END COLLISION 1-15-16, AND NOT 1 AIR BAG DEPLOYED. WE CAN SEND PHOTOS, AND THE CAR IS ON HOLD, NOT TO BE TOUCHED AT THE INSURANCE STORAGE YARD. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO.

CAR WAS REAR ENDED BY FORD F-150 PRETTY HARD WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND GOT PUSHED FORWARD INTO THE FRONT SUV VEHICLE WHICH ALSO GOT PUSHED FORWARD FROM STATIONARY POSITION AND HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. CAR GOT TOTALED THAT THE LENGTH OF THE CAR SHRUNK WRAPPING THE FRONT AND BACK RAILS AND STILL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HENCE THE COMPLAINT

VEHICLE HAS THE "HESITATION ON ACCELERATING" OR "THROTTLE LAG" PROBLEM WHICH IS DOCUMENTED ON MANY MODELS OF BOTH TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES. VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP LIGHT, SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN, OR IN TRAFFIC WHEN SLOWING AND THEN ACCELERATING. IT IS UNRESPONSIVE FOR 1-2 SECONDS THEN ACCELERATES FAST. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN CROSSING A BUSY UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION. OCCURS ROUTINELY WHEN DRIVING EVERYDAY. THIS HESITATION IS DANGEROUS,NOT NORMAL, AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ADDRESSING BY THE MANUFACTURER.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS THE BATTERY HAS DIED ON THIS CAR. THE FIRST TIME WAS AUGUST 2014, JUST ONE MONTH PAST THE CAR ONE YEAR MARK. THE SECOND, THAT IS WHY I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT, IS ALMOST ONE YEAR TO THE DAY OF THE LAST BATTERY FAILURE. WHILE THE FIRST MAY BE WRITTEN OFF AS A BAD BATTERY, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES AND FEEL THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON-LINE SO I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING MORE TO THIS PROBLEM THAN JUST BAD BATTERIES...UPDATED 09/03/15 *BF UPDATED 12/4/2015*JS

THE LEXUS ES 300H 2013 MODEL CAR WHILE PARKING ON THE FLAT DRIVE-WAY (NO SLOPE), HAVING THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED AND MOVING THE GEAR LEVER FROM D TO PARK, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHIN A FRACTION OF A SECOND AND HIT THE GARAGE DOOR, COMPLETELY BREAKING THE GARAGE DOOR. THE FRONT OF THE CAR GOT DAMAGED AND A CAR PARKED INSIDE THE GARAGE ALSO GOT DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR STOPPED AFTER THE GEAR LEVER WAS MOVED TO PARK. THIS EXPERIENCE WAS FRIGHTENING AND IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 6:30PM IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, CUPERTINO CITY, ON A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY. *TR

CAR HAS BRAKE PEDAL CHARACTERISTIC WHICH ALLOWS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO REACH FULL STOP OF THE END OF FULL MECHANICAL TRAVEL (VS. HYDRAULICALLY LIMITED BY BRAKE PRESSURE) AND THE BRAKES ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO APPLY MORE BRAKING FORCE. THIS CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS CAR MODEL IS DIRECTLY LINKED WITH THE CAUSATION OF THE COLLISION AND WAS CERTAINLY A MAJOR SURPRISE TO THE OWNER AS THIS EVENT WAS OCCURRING. NO SUCH WARNING PROVIDED TO CONSUMERS WITH THIS PARTICULAR BRAKING ISSUE IN LEXUS ES300H. CHARACTERISTIC IS ENDEMIC TO THE MODEL AS TESTED IN OTHER IDENTICAL MODELS BY THE OWNER. STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG (ONE OF SEVERAL THAT DEPLOYED IN THIS TOTAL LOSS ACCIDENT) DID NOT PREVENT OWNER FROM PHYSICALLY STRIKING THE STEERING WHEEL EVEN THOUGH HE WAS UTILIZING THE SEAT BELT. CHEST FORCEFULLY STRUCK STEERING WHEEL, WHICH SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED AND SHOULD BE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF THIS SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM. THE OWNER WAS NOT PROPERLY RESTRAINED FROM IMPACTING THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH INFLICTED SERIOUS BODILY INJURY. FURTHERMORE, HE WAS ABLE TO OBSERVE THE ENGINE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE FOLD UP DURING THE IMPACT AND SO NO VISUAL OBSTRUCTION OCCURRED IN THE MOMENTS OF IMPACT AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE AIR BAG DID NOT PROPERLY COVER THE STEERING WHEEL TO PREVENT STEERING WHEEL BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA. SEAT BELTS SHOULD HAVE RESTRAINED THE OWNER FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IT DID NOT DO. THE OWNER ALWAYS HAD THE SEAT POSITIONED WELL AWAY FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THROUGH A COMBINATION OF THE AIR BAG DESIGN, AND THE SEAT BELTS AND BRAKES NOT WORKING IN A MANNER THEY ARE EXPECTED TO DO SO, THE OWNER WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE BRAKES ON THE CAR FEATURE TYPICAL ANTI LOCK CAPABILITY, WHICH WOULD MAKE THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATE UPON ACTIVATION. NO SUCH PULSATION OCCURRED DURING THIS PRE-ACCIDENT AND ACCIDENT DECELERATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LEXUS ES300 HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT LIGHTS AND OTHER OBJECTS THAT WERE VIEWED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WERE EXTREMELY DISTORTED AND CAUSED SEVERE EYE STRAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE DISTORTION WAS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MOON ROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD WITH A EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THINKING I HAD MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. AS SOON AS I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE DAMAGE TO THE MOON ROOF WHICH HAD SHATTERED IN AN OUTWARD DIRECTION. A LARGE AMOUNT OF GLASS WAS LAYING ON THE INSIDE COVER WHICH HAD BEEN CLOSED. I WAS TRAVELING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY IN A NON-CONSTRUCTION AREA AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE WITHIN A QUARTER OF A MILE FROM ME. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND APPROXIMATELY 70 DEGREES. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE HAD THE COVER CLOSED OR WE WOULD HAVE HAD SMALL PIECES OF GLASS FALL ON US AT 70 MILES PER HOUR POSSIBLY CAUSING A MORE SERIOUS INCIDENT. *TR

EVER SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED @ONE YEAR AGO, THERE ARE OCCASIONAL 1-3 SECOND HESITATIONS UPON ACCELERATION. THESE OCCUR FROM DEAD STOP OR AT LOW SPEEDS. TWO DEALERS HAVE EXAMINED THE COMPUTERS, FINDING NO EVIDENCE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THEY ALSO SAY NO OTHER LOCAL OWNER HAS COMPLAINED OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER REPORTEDLY HAS NO RECORD OF SUCH A COMPLAINANT NATIONWIDE. BUT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PASSENGERS IN THE CAR HAVE FELT THE HESITATION AND ASKED WHAT'S WRONG. I WISH I KNEW AND I WISH LEXUS KNEW. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHEN I WAS CHANGING LANES ON A SURFACE STREET OR THE FREEWAY (SOCAL) OR MAKING LEFT/RIGHT TURNS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, MY FEAR IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO BE HIT, ALTHOUGH I AM AS CAREFUL AS I CAN BE WHEN CHANGING LANES/TURNING BECAUSE I KNOW AT ANY TIME THE CAR WILL HESITATE FOR A FEW SECONDS. I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM NOTICEABLY, AS DID OTHER OWNERS, WITH PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS, BUT AM ASSURED BY DEALERS AND THE LOCAL DISTRICT OFFICE THAT LEXUS HAS SOLVED IT NOW. I ONLY WISH! *TR

MY 2013 LEXUS ES 350 HAS A PANORAMA SUNROOF WHICH EXPLODED WHEN AN ATTENDED CLOSED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I ONLY HAD THE CAR EIGHT MONTHS AND HAVE LESS THAN 6,000 MILES. THE WEATHER THAT DAY WAS SUNNY AND 75 DEGREES.I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPEN IF MY 82 YEAR OLD MOM WAS IN THE CAR. WE HAD PLANS FOR THAT DAY TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE THAT VERY DAY. THE SHATTER GLASS FELL INSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY JUST THE MERE SOUND OF THE EXPLOSION COULD HAVE STARTLE ME AND I MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. THERE IS A GREAT POSSIBILITY OF EXPLODING ROOFS CAUSING INJURIES . THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

LEXUS ES350 STALL OR HESITATION PROBLEM ON 2013 MODEL. MY CAR FREQUENTLY BUT INTERMITTENTLY HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR ROLLING STOP POSITION. I'VE HAD IT ABOUT 8 MONTHS AND IT HAS PROBABLY STALLED AT LEAST 100 TIMES. TULSA'S LEXUS DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT LEXUS DESIGNED THE CAR THAT WAY FOR FUEL EFFICIENCY (YES, THAT IS WHAT THEY'VE TOLD ME, AND WITH A STRAIGHT FACE). MY 2010 ES DID THE SAME THING, AND MY 2007 ES DID THE SAME THING. YOU'D THINK I WOULD HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON BY NOW AND BOUGHT A DIFFERENT BRAND OF CAR. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A LEXUS TO ANYONE UNTIL THEY GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. [XXX]IN TULSA, OK. 7-16-13 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LEXUS ES 300H. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS APPEARED DIM AND MADE DRIVING AT NIGHT DIFFICULT FOR THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 600. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THE NOISE WAS DEAFENING. THE GLASS CLEARLY EXPLODED UP AND THEN CHIPPED THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND THE TRUNK. ALL WINDOWS WERE ROLLED UP AT THE TIME WITH THE AIR ON. NOTHING HIT MY CAR AND IT HAPPENED COMPLETELY ON IT'S OWN. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT BEING HELPFUL AND THEY ARE BLAMING ME FOR IT. *TR
