1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2019

My farm is 1/2 mile off weld county road 16 in keenesburg colorado. There is a gravel drive around the house to a short concrete driveway in front of the garage. When we drive onto the concrete portion, we are angled north east toward the garage door and have to back up a short distance to head the car east to enter the garage. We drive very slow through the yard as we have animals to watch out for and make a slow entry towards the concrete driveway. As she turned around the house toward the driveway the car seemed to be going faster than normal and she took her foot off the accelerator and eased on the brake but the car did not slow and she felt the accelerator was pulling her forward faster than she wanted. The brake pedal did not slow the car. The car angled across the concrete driveway, narrowly missing the corner of the garage and struck a tree on the north side of the house. The impact did not deploy the air bag and my wife had no injury. Her seat belt was fastened until she shut the car off and exited the car. I notified usaa my insurer and later spoke to several mechanics about repairs and the problem my wife encountered just prior to the accident. One mechanic told me of a report of a situation much like this and said to call Lexus and see if there had been a recall on this make of automobile. I called a Lexus dealer in firestone colorado. I gave the VIN number to him and he said his records showed this model year had been recalled for a problem with the accelerator but no records showed repairs were made. I told him I purchased this 2010 model car in 2016 as a used car and had no way of knowing if there had been a recall. I have not taken the car to be repaired but an adjuster did make a report yesterday (Thursday June 6). I have no results but the adjuster said the damage was extensive and he was a bit surprised the airbag did not deploy.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2016

The car I bought back in 2014. I rarely drive. After carrying out many repairs from 2014 to 2017, the car will run in parallel and feel that it is impossible to control the steering wheel. There is also a problem with the suspension. In March 2017, a one-week overhaul will be carried out.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/29/2014

I was driving in the passing lane at about 55 mph. The road was straight and level. The road was covered with a thin coating of slush. While driving the alarm signal began beeping. I took my foot off of the accelerator. The car then began drifting to the left, in the next few seconds the left wheels were 2 feet over the left lane. I tried to get the car back into the lane but the steering did not respond. A few seconds later the car began to drift to the right and rotate to the right. I then applied the brakes but they had little effect. Eventually the car slid off the road to the right stopping about 75 ft off the road, down a 20 foot slope. I believe that the stability control system failed to control the vehicle and did not provide adequate protection in this accident.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2012

Had to replace the brake fluid in the vehicle at 30000 miles. Lexus requires this supposedly to maintain the integrity of the braking system and provide a safe vehicle. I feel this is a safety defect in the design. Any vehicle' shouldbe robust enough to last much longer than this without this level of service being required by the manufacturer. If the vehicle does really need this, than Lexus should cover it under warranty. Brakes also required disassembly and cleaning at 15000 miles at customers expense.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2012

I went out to grab a bite to eat for my daughter and I came to a stop light at a major intersection. I received the turn arrow so I accelerated thru the turn and then punched the gas to make it thru the next light that will turn red if you don't give it a little gas to get thru it. I make it thru the light and get in the right lane to slow down to make my turn and my brakes don't work and my car starts accelerating on its own. I have no control of the speed so I throw the car in neutral and keep slamming the brakes while the brake malfunction light appears. I’m not sure how my car slows down and I make a right turn into a parking lot and my engine is still sounding like it is accelerating and I am in neutral. My car rolled to a stop, I shut it down and called the Lexus line. The had a towing company out within an hour and the tow truck driver told me this is at least the 10th time he has hauled this type of car for the same thing.

7 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2011

The contact owns a 2010 Lexus Rx350. The contact was driving approximately 25 mph when the brakes were applied but the vehicle would not respond. The brake pedal was abnormally depressed into the floorboard and the contact crashed into a fire hydrant and the side of a building. Once the vehicle came to a complete stop, the air bags deployed. The contact was not injured. The vehicle was towed the dealer but was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 03/24/2010

The contact owns a 2010 Lexus RX 350. While driving the vehicle at approximately 50 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal but the vehicle did not slow down. As a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle. There were no injuries but a police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to an automotive body shop but no repairs were made when the complaint was filed. The VIN was unavailable. The current and failure mileages were approximately 5,000.

9 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2009

I have a new 2010 Lexus RX 350 keep stalling while I was waiting for traffic light, problem stated soon after I started driving , while mileage was around 1500, when the car stalled abs (anti brake system) sign showed up. I took the cars several times back to Lexus, they used their computer to check computer records of my cars and claimed nothing wrong with the car, until the third time I went back , the brake malfunction warning sign showed up while Lexus's technician was inside the car with me, then they kept the car 10 days and repaired the problem, but still claimed nothing else is wrong with the car, cannot explain why the car stalled, they claimed computer of my car didn't record any stalled history therefore no proof car stalling problem. I told them the computer of my car is so defect that they didn't find brake malfunction problem until the sign showed up in dashboard, why are they still rely on the computer? they kept the car for 10 days to repair a brake, how come it takes 10 days? I believe they found out that the car has more than brake problems, and they know all the Lexus car has potential pending problem, either electronically or computer that control the electronic , imagine if my car stalled while I was driving on the high way, for the safety of all the cars on the street, your division should look into the problem of not only Toyota but also Lexus and other cars made by Toyota motor inc.
