Second day of buying the vehicle stopped suddenly in the highway forcing me to turn to the emergency lane and gravel. Ounce stopped, tried to return to the highway and stpopped suddenly in several ocasions. Noticed the presence of the emergency braking system was on in the dash. Turnned it off and resume my trip. When I leaved the highway it was turnned on again and no signs,but in the middele of the light it did again stopping the transit. It continued doing so even the following day that I took it to the dealer. Incidentaly it also happened to one of their technitians. This could have provoked in several ocasions a disastrous accident. The new wheels also got scratch apparently during the forcefull brakings. Clearly not a car to turst. They confirmed the defect was in the sonars of the car that where fallin of.
I always use cruise control whenever I drive because this would always makes me put on a safety automatic brake whenever I get close to the car next to me. But it seems like my automatic emergency brake is defective which Lexus dealership denies on the inspection when I complain. A lot of times the automatic emergency brake does not work when I use it even when im backing up it suppose to stop but a lot of times im almost at thr brink of hitting something so I have to manually brake. I also texted this to my Lexus assistant manager in Lexus glendale California branch and had it inspected by them but they’ve sit my car in the dealership and at the end of the day told me that its normal. Is it normal to hit a car next to you when youre expecting your car to stop automatically and it does not stop? why do I have this feature and it doesnt work? I hope you can help me becaus ethis car is very expensive and yet it does not guarantee safety!.
