general problems of the 2011 Lexus ES350

Two problems related to equipment have been reported for the 2011 Lexus ES350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2017

I was driving on interstate just outside beaumont, texas on Thursday, November 2 when I heard a loud noise similar to a gunshot or an explosion. Immediately after I heard the noise, I noticed my sunroof cover shaking and wind coming through the top of my car. I pulled the cover back just a little and noticed shattered glass. When I pulled over at the next service station, I got out and realized my sunroof was shattered. I contacted Lexus and they pretended to be surprised; however, after further research, I discovered a class action lawsuit and many other complaints regarding this same issue. I have since had the sunroof repaired, but not by Lexus. The dealership offered to repair it to the tune of $2,000. The sunroof repair company where I took my car repaired it for a fraction of that. This morning I received a phone call from Lexus corporate office stating that the damaged sunroof was due to "impact," which is not true. Of course, Lexus is not taking any responsibility for my vehicle. I suspect they will continue to keep their defective vehicles on the road until an adequate number of people have died from the defects. The general manager of Lexus of clear lake reached out to me on this past Saturday and asked that I email her, which I did. However, I never heard anything back from her.
