Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I have a panoramic sunroof and the sunshade retracts when the switch is pressed but the shade bunches up and stops before fully retracting. It appears from online searches that it’s a well known problem with Lexus and can result in a very costly repair that’s caused in no part by the owners of the vehicles. A recall of this manufacturing defect needs to be issued.
The driver-side mirror shakes noticeably while driving making it hard to see what's on your left, specially at night. Even though I'm reporting in 2024 w/ 55k miles, I just bought this L-Certified CPO Lexus 1 week ago, so the problem was likely there before. There are a couple of other signs that this car doesn't handle the South Florida heat very well and my guess is the adhesive on the mirror has started to fail. There is a service notice on late model NX to address this that replaces the entire mirror assembly and they'll likely do this as well when I take it in, but it is a fairly simple issue to resolve yourself following some YouTube videos even if they're not specific to this make/model.
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN I-75 ON A VERY RAINY DOWNPOUR. SHE TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPERS DID NOT WORK. SHE ARRIVED HOME AND TOOK THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO A LEXUS DEALERSHIP. THE BOLTS WERE LOOSE. THERE SHOULD BE A FAIL SAFE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. OF ALL THE CARS WE HAVE OWNED..........THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.(INCLUDING A 2007 LEXUS WE ALSO DRIVE).
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 LEXUS RX350. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 75 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S AND REAR PASSENGER'S WINDOWS EXPLODED WITHOUT IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LEXUS OF PEMBROKE PINES DEALER, LOCATED AT 16150 PINES BLVD, PEMBROKE PINES, FL 33027, WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN IMPACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FLORIDA STATE PATROL FILED A REPORT WHICH STATED THAT THERE WAS NO IMPACT. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT AN INVESTIGATION WOULD BE OPENED AND SHOULD BE COMPLETED WITHIN FOUR TO SIX WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO BE RELEASED FROM LEASE OBLIGATIONS.*JB
