WHILE STOPPING FOR GAS, TRIED TO RAISE WINDOW TO WASH IT AND IT CAME OFF TRACK. TRIED AGAIN AND STILL OFF TRACK. MANAGED TO GET IT RAISED AND IN CLOSED POSITION BUT NOW THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AS SOON AS I TRY TO LOWER IT. *TR
THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW GLASS POPPED OUT WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR TO SCHOOL TO DROP OFF OUR KIDS. IT DID STARTLE HER BECAUSE OF THE NOISE. SHE WAS ALERT ENOUGH AND ANY ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. I GOT THE CAR CHECKED OUT BY A LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY PLASTIC TAB THAT BROKE AND THE ENTIRE GLASS ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE GLASS ITSELF) THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN LEXUS AS ACKNOWLEDGED BY A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) L-SB-0003-09 ISSUED BY THEM ON JANUARY 26, 2009. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME, BUT THEY FAILED TO INFORM ME ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. *TR
I ROLLED DOWN THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OF MY LEXUS 2008 ES350 AND THE WINDOW CAME OFF TRACK. THE WINDOW JUMPED OUT OF THE TRACK AS I ATTEMPTED TO ROLL IT UP AND APPEARS TO BE FALLING OFF THE CAR. THIS IS A WINDOW THAT I SELDOM ROLL-DOWN. I BELIEVE THAT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WHICH I CONSIDER TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD THAT THE LEXUS 2008 ES350 CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
CONCERN ABOUT VERY BRIGHT WHITE HEAD LAMPS ON SOME NEWER AUTOS. THEY TEND TO BLIND ON COMING DRIVERS BECAUSE OF THEIR BRIGHTNESS. ACCORDING TO DR ISADORE ROSENFELD THEY CAN TRIGGER MIGRAINE HEADACHES. THIS IS A ROAD HAZARD AND CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR
