Nine problems related to equipment have been reported for the 2015 Lexus RX350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In the early afternoon of November 24, 2019, my wife was driving her 2015 Lexus Rx350 on a highway near athens, georgia when the sunroof glass suddenly exploded without warning, sending shards of glass throughout the interior cabin of the vehicle.
Vehicle stationary at a mobile gas station in laguna niguel. On or about 10/2019. While filling the gas tank with gasoline, instaed of the fuel being shut off while fueling and the fuel syatem was full, there was over flow of gasoline, causing fuel to flash back all over the person fueling and covering large areas of skin and clothing.
The center console and the area at the bottom of the driver seat as well as the vent for the backseat becomes extremely heated during driving. It's extremely uncomfortable and should not operate in this manner. I've taken it back to the dealer and they claim that it has something to do with a pipe beneath? this should not be. If the ac is on hot air is blowing out of the rear vent.
Sunroof glass shattered while driving 60 miles an hour on a highway in maryland.
The collision protection system got activated by itself while driving at cretin location on cretin roads causing self hard breaking and the seat belt got full tightened , if car behind me , that well end to bad crash for sure one of the location where that always happens when passing threw ( regardless the single mentioned date) is on diffidence hwy , annapolis MD 21401 (one mile after crossing crownsville rd heeding west ) I called Lexus main office , they said they do not have recall on this model and was advised to visit a Lexus dealer , I visited Lexus of richmond virginia , they checked the car and they said that nothing wrong found ,.
Lexus Rx350 has no ac button on the dash board. It has a voice command which is ineffective. The ac stays on all the time when the car is running and with fan on. There are 4 months out of a year one does not need ac on, just air is enough. In order to achieve just air (no ac on), one has to use a computer mouse on board go to the menu, click on climate control, then click on ac to turn off ac while driving the car. This on board computer maneuvering while driving is a major safety issue. It is analogous to texting while driving! I almost got into an accident while performing turning of ac task while driving. When I used the voice command on board and asked to turn off the ac, the system turn off the entire system. I contacted Lexus about this and requested either to install an ac button on the dashboard or upgrade the voice command software such that it will turn off just the ac instead of turning off the entire system. Lexus refused this safety issue. I request NHTSA to order Lexus to corr3ct the safety issue either by installing an ac button on the dashboard or upgrade the voice command software. Thanks much.
Dynamic speed control randomly (twice) has lost settings & control. Setting it at 60, car increased speed to 85, and ignored car in front of me, almost causing a crash. Lexus has not followed up with me on this. Voice recognition often functions incorrectly resulting in distracted driving, and has almost resulted in me driving out of my lane or off the road several times. Example: ask it for directions to palo alto medical foundation: result; gives me a list of south american restaurants. Contacted Lexus about this. Only response - take it to a dealer. I have an appt with one July 11. No documentation available. Self repair attempts: disconnected the car battery for 30 seconds to reset the system and reprogrammed all settings available. Result: no change. Summary: with regard to the cruise control; someone could get killed from this!.
While driving approximately 45 mph the passenger side door unlocked and opened slightly, the door sensor began to chime and the red door ajar symbol displayed on the dashboard. There were no passengers in the car, only the driver, who had been driving for more than one hour, with no reason to touch the passenger side door.
Was driving at approx. 70 mph on highway 71 when I heard a loud crash. There were no other vehicles in sight around my vehicle so I thought a tire had blown out. After inspecting the vehicle and getting back inside, I realized the sunroof glass had exploded. I didn't realize it immediately as the cover was closed at the time, thankfully. As I had purchased the vehicle 5 days before, I called the dealer, who responded that I must have been hit by a rock. As there were no vehicles around for miles, I am confident it was not a rock but a manufacturer defect. Further, I was definitely not pleased with how the dealership handled considering the vehicle had less than 300 miles on it. I am just now submitting as I didn't know who to contact other than the dealer until I saw a segment on gma just yesterday.
