1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2016

The car has various issues, all of my lights are on the car and have been since ive purched the car. Its shut off as ive been driving several times, it wont reach its speed limit from accelerator, it knock and makes sounds and had an odor coming through vents. The company isn't consistent with repair and payment promises and is trying to repo for resale.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2013

Periodically the brake,abs,vsc, and low pressure light blinks while driving , as soon as the key is turned off then back on the warning lights disappear. Trouble code scanned c 1249, and c 1223 open circuit in stop light switch or abs control fault error. Oxide grease residue on electrical contact points make the brake light switch susceptible to failure. Toyota Lexus had a recall that only covered certain dates while the problem brake light switch failures continued in newer models. Lexus refuses to fix older models saying the problem was fixed after late 2004, which as we all know now is not correct. I would like Lexus /Toyota to replace my brake light switch at no expense to me since it was a assembly error on their part.

3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2009

Please looking into the Lexus Rx330 models. I previously owned a 2005 Lexus Rx330. I didn't experience the brake problems or acceleration. What I experienced that once I press on the brake at a red light or stop. The vehicle tend to still be moving slightly forward. Then I would have to press the brakes harder in order for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. This was at 5mph or less. I believe it's the computer controlled unit for the gas. You can actual feel in the break and engine that the vehicle does not want to come to a complete stop. I also went thru the recall to replace the cover on the driver side that the dealer stated it was causing the floor mat stuck to the gas pedal. In my opinion it's the cpu that may be causing the problem. You can hear and feel the engine still having a slight roar after the brake is pressed on, as if gas is still being applied or reduced in the engine.
