Adaptive Equipment problem #1

My wife was driving on the highway and the sun roof imploded, the glass shattered and fell into the car there was no one in front of her and she was not going under a over pass. Dealer claims it was a rock, no way could a rock hit at that angle with that much force to shatter the glass! we have heard of this happing before but not with a Lexus- we were very lucky she was not in crash as it was such a shock to her she hit the breaks not knowing what happen. We were not happy with the explanation of the dealer or Lexus that is was a rock!.

Equipment problem #2

On November 3, 2015, Lexus Rx350 (2011) came to a complete stop at a parking lot. When the gear was about to be put in to parking, the vehicle suddenly accelerated itself and moved approximately 40 ft forward. The car sprang out going over a cement parking block, iron fence that was dividing one building's parking lot to another, and fell about 5 ft below since the parking lot was in higher level than other building's parking lot. The vehicle kept moving even after falling from the higher ground and came to a stop after hitting a tree.
