Equipment problem #1

As I was driving in the early morning, I opened the moonroof. 5 minutes later I decided to close it because it got cold fast in the car. Upon closing, the moonroof glass self exploded as I was driving 40-45mph. The glass was everywhere. I had to immediately pull over and asses why and what had happened. Nothing hit it, nothing fell on it, all I did was open and close it and it exploded. After further research online, I realized I wasn't the only one that this has happened to. I decided to submit my complaint as this is a very scary and dangerous issue.

Equipment problem #2

My ac compressor has gone out in this car, it is on backorder they say but its been two weeks in addition I have called several Lexus dealerships including the main Lexus company and they dont have any in stock and over 20+ on back order which clearly indicates there is a fault in them. I have gone 2 weeks with no ac and im in oklahoma where its 90+ degree weather.

Equipment problem #3

Infotainment notifications entirely obscure rear camera view of cars. This is true of all Toyota a d Lexus models using the infotainment system.

Equipment problem #4

The contact owns a 2013 Lexus Gs350. The contact stated that the voice command feature did not operate properly. As a result, the contact had to enter three hand commands instead of being able to use her voice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the system operated the way it was designed. The contact was also referred to the manufacturer, who did a simulation and agreed that certain hand commands were necessary. The manufacturer also stated that the feature was operating as designed. The contact felt that she should not have to use hand commands and felt unsafe when doing so. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 1,100.
