From what I have been reading on that year and model, there seems to be major issues with the invertors. Like many I was driving on the highway and the vehicle just quits. This put me and many others in a very dangerous situation and I could have been hit at high rates of speed. If as many people are having these issues, then Lexus needs to step up and recall this part before someone gets killed
Dear manager: I have this 2006 LEXUS RX400H which has CHECK VSC SYSTEM and CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM problems. When I was driving on the highway, the cruise control button is unable to turn on, when at speed of 65 MPH it will suddenly stall in the middle of the road and the READY light will be off and the vehicle has to be stopped by the emergency lane which is REALLY DANGEROUS. I have searched online and found out there were many complains about this issue and LEXUS issued a recall for this type of car and the dealer can change the inverter and ICM free of charge. This recall link is as follows: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2011/RCONL-11V342-6633.pdf So tonight I am sending this message to see if you can help me to solve this problem.
Hello, I had this issue on my Lexus RX400H recently, and it was diagnosed and repaired by a third party auto repair shop at my expense. I want to know if I have any recourse to recover my cost Approx $700. Thanks! VIN Recall Consequence: THE VEHICLE MAY ENTER A FAIL-SAFE/LIMP-HOME MODE THAT LIMITS THE DRIVABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE HYBRID SYSTEM WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

My car exploded- huge fire. I was not driving- it had been parked. The fire marshal indicated that it was an electrical problem located near the battery. There we no indicators of any issues. I only had liability on the car- so i am out of luck. but the NYFD inspected. It happened on Wednesday 9/29/21. Was inspected on 9/30.
THE HEAT CONTROL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ABRUPTLY BEGAN TO STAY ON LAST WEEK. I BELIEVE I NOW SMELL A CHEMICAL ODOR ISSUING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR.
THIS SUV DASH BOARD LIGHTS COME ON WHEN YOU DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE,VSC,ABS,TRACK OFF AND ANOTHER ON AB SYMBOL LIKE A U DOWN WHERR THE HOT AND COLD. IVE SAW WATER COMING FROM THE MUFFLER.
WHEN DEPRESSING THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY OPENING THE REAR LIFT GATE SOMETIMES THE REAR LIFT GATE (DOOR) WILL START TO CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY AND IT CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY PRESSING THE REMOTE OR BUTTON ON LIFT GATE OR APPLYING LARGE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO HOLD DOOR OPEN. TWICE A PERSON HAS BEEN IN THE LINE OF FIRE AND HAD TO JUMP OUT OF WAY WHEN PLACING AN ITEM IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. ON ANOTHER TIME THE LIFT GATE HIT A PERSON IN THE HEAD WHEN THEY DID NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY FAST ENOUGH. THE LEXUS DEALER HAS CHECKED THE AUTO CLOSURE SYSTEM AND REPLACED BATTERY IN REMOTE AND FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES ONCE IN A WHILE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A PERSON COULD GET PINNED IN THE LIFT GATE.
