ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Below is the email that I sent to both the manufacturer and the dealership: I hope your Christmas Eve was better than mine. My son and I were driving up to the Poconos [XXX] to go skiing and I noticed the sonar detection light come on. When we were driving back from the Poconos, the transmission would not catch around the second or third gear. The RPMs would shoot up. The dash / warning lights lit up. I pulled over to the side of the road and I called Lexus dealership, service center, and road side assistance. However, due to the fact that it was [XXX], the offices were closed. I managed to make it to my parent’s home, but it was a very dangerous ride on [XXX]. The odometer stated that we were going 50 mph, but we were crawling and the RPMs were 4000. The RPMs at rest were always over 1000. Additionally at times, the gear would not shift into second or third and/or bottom out. Obviously the transmission is beyond malfunctioning. Below are pictures including: 1.) check your engine: A malfunction in the electric control of the engine, throttle or automatic transmission has been detected... 2.) a malfunction in the Intelligent Clearance, Sonar System has been detected 3.) traction control turned off 4.) Secondary Collision Break System malfunction, 5.) System Malfunction 6.) Drive-Start Control Malfunction. The vehicle has just over 3000 miles. I am beyond distraught. My phone number is [XXX] . However, I think it's best if we communicate through email at this point. I planned a family ski trip to Killington, VT for the New Year. I would like to request a loaner vehicle so I can salvage this holiday. I look forward to hearing from you and your service department.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The car comes with proactive driver assist. The system when activated will cause the car to unexpectedly turn the wheel and lunge usually left if the system suspects you are going off of track. It works even on unmarked 2 lane country roads. Very disconcerting and dangerous. My wife was then subsequently in a serious accident on a slippery and snowy night that totaled the car. We are not convinced that the proactive driver assist system was the cause of the accident but can't help but think it may have been a contributing factor to the accident. Her car swerved into the oncoming lane on a unmarked (snow covered) highway.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
While driving on a local highway recently, my forearm brushed the automatic shift knob while reaching to place my phone on the wireless charging pad. The transmission shifted into neutral, resulting in an unexpected loss of speed. It took me a few seconds to realize what had happened - I shifted back into Drive, and resumed my trip. No accident resulted from this, but it has happened twice in the month that I have owned the car. I reported the issue to the dealership thinking my car had a problem - they said that this is the way the car is designed to function. I found a section in the Owner's Manual which confirms this - shifting from Drive to Neutral while stationary requires the knob to be held to the left for a couple seconds; for some reason, doing this while moving requires only a tap (see attached photo of the owner's manual). This seems like a design issue - the unexpected loss of power from bumping the shift knob to the left (no forward or backward motion is needed) could easily result in an accident. I don't understand why they specifically created a system where a "push and hold" is not required to shift into neutral when the vehicle is moving. I reported this issue to corporate Lexus today. They said they will consider this feedback in subsequent model designs, but I wonder whether a recall is appropriate. That's why I'm reporting the issue to you, as well.

We just pick up this car last week from the dealership here at San Antonio. TX. As we were driving there is a downpour/rain due to hurricane beryl, turn on the wiper and did not work, just got stuck in the middle of the windshield. i almost got hit on the road because i can see in front of me. Maybe it is also my fault by not checking this things before i drove off. At this moment the car is back at the dealership and my service advisor says that the motor is defective and they will order the parts.

Potential Consequences:
I have purchased a new Lexus RX 350 2024 from South County Lexus in Mission Viejo in March 2024. Upon completion of the purchase, I was informed that I get only one key for the car as there is a shortage of the keys. I was told that it will take a few months to get a 2nd key. Now it is June 6, 2024. I called the Lexus dealership as well as corporate office. I was informed that I probably will get the key in August 2024. I find it absolutely unacceptable. It creates a safety hazard when a 2nd key is not available.

Potential Consequences:
The contact owns a 2024 Lexus RX450. The contact stated that upon attempting to enter the vehicle, the vehicle failed to unlock with the key fob, prompting the contact to attempt to manually unlock the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to unlock. The contact called Roadside Assistance and was determined that the battery was drained and was able to jumpstart the vehicle after using a Slim Jim to open the door. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was informed that leaving the key near the vehicle would result in inadvertent battery discharge. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,500. The VIN was not available.

Lexus is still not providing 2 key fobs on delivery. They are not listing the 2nd Key Program (23LJ01) as a campaign on their vehicle mobile software. The "digital key" is glitchy and not a safe and secure option - it seems to be a way for Lexus to periodically generate more profit at the expense of customer safety and security.

It happens and then it stops, but always starts up again.
