Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)My wife was driving the subject car She intended to come off the road to give a way to on coming car. She got in naghbour's drive way and intended move 10 feet. When she tried to put more gas to move the car was hyper accepting drove 50 feets away and hit naghbour's ion gate and stopped. When she back off it did again and hit street lamp. It did two more time. Ended up damaging 4 corners of the car and all the material that the car hit. I could not understand that she hit the 4 corner of the car. That is why I suspected engine problem. When I tried the same movement nàghbour came out and worry that the car will do the same thing. While I was talking to him. He told me he has security camera and he noticed excess unning of the engine. He sent me the clip I couldn't see the car but certainly I could hear the engine. The end of the report.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The exhaust in my 2022 RX350 causes droning and vibrations at 1500rpm while driving at 25-30mph and 55-60mph. Most of the vivrations can be felt at the catalytic converter exhaust assembly. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vibrations and droning causes a sensory “shock” as the vehicle approaches 1500rpm at 25-30 and 55-60mph. This has caused me to be caught off guard while I am focused on driving on busy streets and on the highway. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I have brought my vehicle in several times to 3 different Lexus dealerships. I have sat with 2 shop foreman’s and driven with them in which they have said that such vibrations are “normal”. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has not been inspected by any of the above. It has been only brought to Lexus dealerships for inspection (I am not counting dealerships as the manufacturer). Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the first droning/vibration. The first sign of the droning was the same night I had purchased my car and drove it home. I immediately emailed my dealer about this issue as it felt abnormal compared to the RX350 I had test driven earlier that week.
Severe droning vibrations coming from the exhaust when driving at 1500rpm @ 30mph and 60mph. Can be easily repeated at the aforementioned speeds. Problem has been identified by dealer, but dealer does not have a fix for 2022 RX350 model. Problem appeared while taking the suv home after delivery.
