Front windshield is loose and vibrates/flutters when driving. The car has not been in an accident and has no apparent rust. It has been garaged and is available for inspection. There are no warning indicators. My concern is that the windshield could unseat or break while driving. Self inspection shows the windshield is loose when gentle pressure is applied from both internal top sides of window. A possible related issue is damage to rearview mirror where mirror coating is damaged to the point where it is unusable.
I am having transmission problem along with ecu problems. Car has rough down shifting problems when in motion . After doing research many Lexus Gs models have those common issues.
While traveling at a rate of 40 mph I pressed the accelerator to go faster when suddenly the car hesitated and began jerking and slowing abruptly. Thank heavens no one was following me closely or I may have been rear ended. After this "brush with death experience, I have learned that Lexus has had numerous complaints about their engines and transmissions. I am very concerned about driving the vehicle after my experience and after reading about other Lexus owners who have had close brushes with accidents as well. Something must be done to hold this car maker accountable. It is clear at Lexus their priority is profits over the safety of their owners.

Rear view failure to hold up it has dark spots and scratches inside of the mirror causing lack of visibility. I have not been in any accidents and do not want to be. I've reported this to Lexus and they have done nothing to correct or replace deteriorating mirror.
The rear view mirror has developed black spots within the glass and is impossible to see out of it. There is TSB (l-sb-0043-16} but not a recall. . . The Lexus belonged to my father that passed away and never really drove the car.
