Drove 2007 rx350 approximately 15 minutes and returned to residence. 3 minutes later, walked outside and car was smoking from engine area. within a matter of 60-90 seconds the car was completely engulfed in flames and fire department immediately called. fd arrived 21 minutes later and car was still fully in flames. once fd extinguished flames, car was a total loss.
While driving on the interstate i noticed something on the back windsheild, upon stopping at the vet to pick up my dog, there was oil all over the back windsheild. the rubber oil hose had developed a leak and within 5 miles i had lost all oil in my vehicle. which has resulted in having the vehicle towed in for repairs to replace the hoses with the newly designed hoses. apparently this is an ongoing problem with this model lexus...
The dash started cracking and not from abuse. it is parked in a covered garage when not in use. i've read the same complaints. it is a manufacture defect and i'm afraid it will affect the air bag deployments. the manufacture should take care of this and replace the dash board.
My car has been mostly stationary and kept in my garage for 3 years. this year i experienced the dashboard and ignition area melting and cracking. i feel it may affect the functionality of the airbag. also, i do not know if there may be some sort of chemical release that is not healthy to me or my passengers. visibility is also a problem since there is a severe glare from the dash on to my windshield.
When i drive at above 60 mph, there is a rattling sound. i took it to the dealership and they are unable to pinpoint the issue even after removing the roofrack, the roof insulation and tightening all the bolts. i have found numerous postings online but lexus still refuses to let us know the issue. please help! it is very concerning that a loose part might cause major accident or event death. http://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/7588/lexus/rx-350/lexus-rx-350-rattles http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/67986-2010-rx-350-has-noisy-interior-rattles/ http://community.cartalk.com/discussion/2117891/rx-350-lexus-rattling-noise see photo. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-second-generation/337671-annoying-clattering-noise-above-left-ear-of-driver.html
Dashboard has severe cracking all over the entire dashboard, especially over the glove box. i am concerned if the integrity of the airbags might be affected due to this cracking. these cracks are not the result of heat, they are obviously a defect in the part which lexus is not taking responsibility for. based on research, i am not the only lexus owner experiencing this problem. *js
I had pushed the button to open the rear door on the unit. i began loading items in the rear when the door came down striking me in the head. the door continued to lower after hitting me the door has opened by the button and then closed by itself on previous occasions. no one was injured from previous closings.
My dash is in really bad sharpe
