The passenger side window glass popped out while my wife was driving this car to school to drop off our kids. It did startle her because of the noise. She was alert enough and any accident was avoided. I got the car checked out by a Lexus dealer and they said that it was due to a faulty plastic tab that broke and the entire glass assembly needs to be replaced (even though there is nothing wrong with the glass itself) this is a known problem in Lexus as acknowledged by a TSB (technical service bulletin) l-sb-0003-09 issued by them on January 26, 2009. The car was still under warranty at that time, but they failed to inform me about this potential problem.

My passenger side front window will not roll up properly. Apparently the plastic clip broke off and the entire window has to be replaced. This is definitely a defect by Lexus. I have seen a lot of complaints online about this. Lexus is charging 700 dollars to fix. I will not buy another Lexus or recommend one to anyone because Lexus should take ownership for this one.

While driving on the highway at 60 miles / h my driverside window suddenly fell down which seriously distracted me and which almost resulted in a collision with another car. Feedback from Lexus is that the plastic tabs that hold the window disintegrate over time and as a result the entire window will need to be replaced. It's clearly a safety hazard and should pro-actively be addressed by Lexus.

Tl- takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Lexus Es350. The contact stated that there was a progressing failure in which the dashboard had a sticky substance. The contact made several attempts to clean the substance but the sticky residue remained. The dealer was notified and indicated to cover it with carpet which was unacceptable to the contact. The contacts visibility was constantly being affected by the glare. The contact also received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v340000 (air bags) and the dealer was unable to indicate when the parts may become available so the contact was unable to determine when the recall repair may be completed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available. VIN tool confirms parts not available. Dyd.
