general problems of the 2010 Lexus RX350

The contact owns a 2010 Lexus Rx350. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, she saw light white smoke floating through the air which she initially assumed came from the vehicle ahead of her. As she exited the highway and came to a stop, the low oil pressure warning light illuminated with an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine. The contact pulled over and called her brother for assistance. Upon inspection, the contact's brother discovered that there was no oil in the vehicle, even though the vehicle had received an oil change five days prior. The contact called the local dealer who offered to tow the vehicle to the dealer to be inspected. The contact declined the tow, and instead had the vehicle towed to Lexus of pleasanton (4345 rosewood dr, pleasanton, CA 94588) where the mechanic discovered that the engine oil cooler pipe was fractured. The contact discovered an unknown recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall or warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 199,000.

Takata recall. Started car in the morning drove it to work didn't smell anything it was about 34miles all highway. Parked the car ( the car was not in motion at the time)went out in 15 min and the whole front end was on fire. Called fire department by the time they got here it was to late. This was on private property con edison of new york. The car only had 32,000 mile and was only maintained by Lexus all servive records they have now its going to cost me 18,0000 for upgrade or another car when this car was in mint condition don't have any repair records they were stored in the car. Lexus has all the car records. The car went in December for state inspection and oil change nothing was brought to our attention.

While slowly pulling into parking space in the parking lot of the local post office, with foot on brake pedal car quickly accelerated forward with engine reaving. Car shot forward going over concrete car stops toward a creek and smashed into a stand of trees. Driver airbags deployed. Complete front of vehicle including hood and windshield were smashed and driven into engine compartment. I believe this is a case of unintended acceleration caused by the vehicle malfunctioning. There have been multiple documented complaints of this happening in Lexus RX 350 vehicles. The floor mat was securely in place and had not moved and the driver insists her foot was on the brake petal at all times. There were no obstructions in or around the accelerator petal or the brake. Paramedics were called to scene and a police report was filed.

The "engine maintenance required" light will not reset anymore after an oil change. . . Even after you follow the steps in the users manual. It used to work because I've done it before. Now, no matter what I do, it won't reset.
