general problems of the 2010 Lexus RX350

While driving down the highway at 65 mph the sun roof suddenly exploded. There were no other vehicles on the road and no debris. The roof had never been struck and we have never transported anything on the roof. The temperature was 65 degrees and the sun just rising so no significant temperature variations. The road was smooth.

The vehicle was approaching a stoplight and before coming to a complete stop, smoke emerged from underneath the car. Within a minute the car caught fire which completely burned the engine and the fire spread into the cabin. Prior to this incident, we have never experienced any minor or major issues with the vehicle. This vehicle also underwent regular maintenance prior to incident.

I was driving 65 miles per hour on the freeway when I just heard a big loud pop I look at the sun roof and see shadder glass coming down on me. There was a big hole in the middle and nothing could of hit me there was no rocks near me. . . When I stoped to check inside the truck there was nothing that showed what could of hit the sun roof such as a rock. . . We took it to the Lexus delaer and said it was the 1st time they heard about this. . . I research online and this is not the 1st one that has happen to. Also the sun roof was poping up like the glass exploded upwords not as if something felt from the top of the sunroof as per many comments of people that own a Lexus 2010 has happened before.

Navigation system does not identify poi's such as gas stations along route. This is dangerous as when the nav system is used as a primary info source - looking for a gas station, one cannot be found. Leaves user in a panic state - which can lead to dangerous situations. Lexus - sold an integrated nav system - which is supposed to be a reference when traveling. This reference is un-reliable and should be recalled for a fix as a safety issue. Discussed this with sales person at dealer, acknowledged verbally that the nav system has problems - no upgrades available.

Nav system does not distinguish height on highways. This is very dangerous on elevated highways - as nav system asks driver to take exits that don't exist. As a result will cause a driver to panic - leading to an accident situation. Nowhere in the advertising documentation does it state that it cannot distinguish elevated highways and side roads. Lexus charges a premium for this device and it is a safety concern to drivers unaware of its faults. Moreover, there should be a way for car companies to be accountable on the quality of electronics they deliver. A notice to all owners with the nav system should be sent out. Car dealer acknowledges nav system deficiency. No fix available. Substandard product for a Lexus automobile.

On Saturday, April 3, 2010, I was driving my 2010 Lexus RX 350 on a two-lane road in clarion PA. I went to pass the vehicle in front of me when my accelerator got stuck. The vehicle rpm redlined and I quickly accelerated. I slammed on my brakes, and emergency brakes, and eventually put in the car in neutral, and was able to come to a stop off the roadway in about 1/2 mile. When I was stopped (vehicle was still red-lining), I was able to see the accelerator pedal was stuck in the grove on the top of my all weather oem car mat.
