| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
From what I have been reading on that year and model, there seems to be major issues with the invertors. Like many I was driving on the highway and the vehicle just quits. This put me and many others in a very dangerous situation and I could have been hit at high rates of speed. If as many people are having these issues, then Lexus needs to step up and recall this part before someone gets killed.
The power steering and hybrid system failed and vehicle completely stopped in middle of busy freeway with no prior warnings or issues before. The safety of my son and I, and others around me during the abrupt stop of the engine. I could not move out of way. The vehicle has been serviced for this exact issue during a recall campaign lasting from 2011 to 2014. Ten years later and it is still happening! there were no warning lamps or messages or symptoms prior to this failure. It just passed vehicle inspections for the year.
Dear manager: I have this 2006 Lexus Rx400h which has check vsc system and check hybrid system problems. When I was driving on the highway, the cruise control button is unable to turn on, when at speed of 65 mph it will suddenly stall in the middle of the road and the ready light will be off and the vehicle has to be stopped by the emergency lane which is really dangerous. I have searched online and found out there were many complains about this issue and Lexus issued a recall for this type of car and the dealer can change the inverter and icm free of charge. This recall link is as follows: https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/rcl/2011/rconl-11v342-6633. Pdf so tonight I am sending this message to see if you can help me to solve this problem.
I was running 72mph on the interstate and the whole car shut down - shifter, engine, lost steering, everything!.
My car exploded- huge fire. I was not driving- it had been parked. The fire marshal indicated that it was an electrical problem located near the battery. There we no indicators of any issues. I only had liability on the car- so I am out of luck. But the nyfd inspected. It happened on Wednesday 9/29/21. Was inspected on 9/30.
Car dies after driving for a bit. We've spent over $3k fixing fuel pump, batteries, and others. From what I'm reading it sounds like my car should be on the inverter recall list, but it's not.
Car turns off while driving on the highway and this results in loss of power brakes and steering.
