Vehicle was parked, engine off, and unattended. An internal electrical fire originated in the overhead/sunroof wiring area. Damage includes melted wiring harness near the sunroof, burned center console, and soot throughout the interior. The fire originated in a constant-power electrical circuit and spread downward into the cabin. There were no aftermarket modifications, no external heat sources, and no objects in the vehicle that could have caused ignition. Ambient temperature conditions were normal and insufficient to cause this damage. This represents a serious safety defect because the fire originated spontaneously within the vehicle’s electrical system and could have resulted in a full vehicle fire or injury if occupants were present. The failure appears to involve factory-installed wiring/components and is not consistent with normal wear or external factors.
I was just driving regular and the Rx350 started to jerk and apply the breaks by itself and slip and go side ways and the car behind me almost hit me because my Lexus started to stop hard and fast . Im pressing the gas but it’s not accelerating. The engine wanted to stop and very dangerous I’m scared to even drive the vehicle. I am the 3rd owner and now I know why the otheer people don’t want it . There is a recall for that problem but im new to the car recalls so im not to shure what to do to get the car repaired . I would like this fix especially because it is a recall . Thanks.
Ac or heating stopped working on passenger side and rear after not using it for a couple of weeks. I checked online and a lot of Rx350 owners have this issue.
Rear hatch door let loose and hit my wife in head knocking her out temporarily. Lexus dealership would not run diagnostic unless I paid them 150. 00. My 8year or 100,000 mile warranty ran out in 2021.
I have had a reoccurrence of a warning light "trac off- check awd" ( all wheel drive}. This is, apparently, an indication that the vehicle stability system has been turned off. The car is now less safe/ controlled in slippery inclement conditions. In researching this issue, I have found numerous indications that many drivers have experienced this problem with vrious Lexus models and model years. Dealer service departments appear to be baffled and unable to correct the problem. The attempted/unsuccessful repairs have been costly.
Sunroof glass exploded while driving car.
