Equipment problem #1

While driving my 2014 Lexus Rx350 at 60mph on interstate I-10, my sunroof suddenly exploded outwards! no signs of road debris nor any other vehicles in vicinity after stopping, it was clear that the remaining glass showed that there was no impact and the glass shattered outwards. When investigating online, I noticed that this could be the result of a defect known by the auto industry including Toyota/Lexus. I am thankful that the interior shield for the sunroof was closed for the shattered glass could have entered the passenger compartment with possible injury.

Equipment problem #2

Car parked on a driveway and slipped out of park and down the driveway into a neighbors tree across the street.

Equipment problem #3

The contact owns a 2014 Lexus RX 350. While attempting to park the vehicle after a complete stop, during the (gear) shifting from drive to park, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and hit / crashed on to a building and spun off, and the impact caused the vehicle to travel for about 15 feet and stopped. Air bags did not deploy and a police report was filed. No injuries to anyone. The vehicle was towed to the Lexus dealership and later to dealership's collision shop. Approximate estimate for the repair is $21,000. Manufacturer was notified through the email option in Lexus customer assistance center. Approximate failure mileage was 5,500. It appears to be an issue with the engine or some internal electronic system. Because, when this incident happened, the vehicle was at a complete stop and my (driver) foot was on the brake pedal.
