Spiral cable: horn has stopped working
Something had broken causing oil draining out of the car while driving on the highway. The car lost power and i pulled over immediately and shut off the engine. I opened the hood and saw nothing wrong, however when i checked the oil, there was no oil. I then proceeded to look under the car and there was oil all over the under carriage. I then did a walk around and found oil all over the back side. Me and my family were stranded while we waited for a tow truck. We had the tow truck take the rx350 to the local lexus (kuni in denver) dealership where this car has been serviced all its life. When i received the initial call from the service department, he had said he is 99% sure this is the oil cooler pipe. He then said this is a known defect in the design of this part. When i googled "rx350 oil cooler pipe" numerous complaints came back. The initial design is rubber and now they installed one that is metal. This could have been fatal if we had traffic near us. Also this could have major damage to the engine. This should have been recalled however lexus decided not to and just call it a warranty notice. Even with all the information out there about this highly defective part, the dealership would not cover the cost and told us to directly deal with lexus. If anyone is reading this, and you have not change out this part, i would get this done! it is not an if this will happen, it is when it will happen. The design of this pipe is elementary and will fail. I thought lexus being a luxury manufacturer would take more care with their customers! but as you can see, they are not.
Some how the oil was leaking ,i don t know why?lucky me i was at home doing the yard work when i saw this massive oil leaking on my drive way
Our 2011 lexus rx 350 oil cooler line failed causing engine damage. A family member was driving and the loss of motor oil could have locked the engine and caused an accident. Lexus is willing to pay for the part, but not repair the damage caused by the failed oil cooler line.
My 2011 lexus rx 350 has a front timing cover leak. To fix the front timing cover leak, the dealership has an estimated price of $4,000.00. In order to replace a gasket on the timing cover, many accessories and parts needs to be removed.i think it is a safety issue if the engine is losing oil and it stops running.i also believe that it is a poor engineering design, or a manufacturer error. In order to replace a simple gasket, it requires monumental effort and expense. There are many other gaskets in the car engine that are easily accessible and lasts much longer.
The oil cooler pipe broke on my 2011 lexus rx450h starving the engine of oil as i was driving home from work.the part is currently under warranty enhancement by lexus and is a known problem on my model year of vehicle.the malfunction is particularly insidious as oil only leaks when the engine is running, however with a hybrid when the vehicle stops the engine stops and so does the leak at least until you have reached a high enough speed for the engine to kick back on again.in my situation i received no check engine lights, oil lights or any other indication other then suddenly it felt like my engine was running a little rough.i immediately pulled over (i was just on a city street) and found the back of the vehicle was covered in oil.i had the vehicle towed to the local lexus dealership who identified the issue as the oil cooler pipe and lexus corporate paid for the repair under their warranty enhancement.when i picked the vehicle up from lexus of albuquerque i didn't even make it two miles away from the dealership before i started getting all kinds of lights flashing on my dash and the only power i had to move the vehicle was the electric hybrid drive.the vehicle was towed back to lexus which informed me a few days later that the engine had seized.i opened a new case with lexus corporate concerning the engine issues since my engine failure was a result of the warrantied part failing.lexus's ultimate answer was sorry, but we are unwilling to help you as well as the answer from the dealership.im the original owner of the vehicle and it has only ever been serviced at lexus dealerships, and not once did a service advisor/manager inform me that this part was a potential problem.for such an integral part that was poorly manufactured and can cause such expensive and catastrophic damage the oil cooler pipe needs to be recalled.

As we were driving, my car suddenly started running rough, engine started sputtering, car then slowed down, several warning lights appeared on the dashboard, and then car abruptly stalled in the middle of the road and could not be restarted. We had to push the car to the side of the road in a safe place until a tow truck arrived to tow it away.i researched and learned thru several media releases that a safety recall was recently issued and currently in affect to cover this same exact issue in several toyota and lexus models. 1.8 million cars are affected under this safety recall. My car experienced the identical issue and upon mechanic's inspection was confirmed to have a failed/faulty fuel pump that needs to be completely replaced. Car is unusable, repair is costly and should be covered due to nature of defect, under the recall. We've come to trust the toyota and lexus brand as we've only owned toyota and lexus vehicles over several years. This safety issue is dangerous/unacceptable and hope we'll receive the customer service we've come to expect and appreciate as loyal customers. Thank you.
While driving brake & abs warning lights displayed on the dash with the warning brake malfunction, took it to the shop they diagnose bad brake module. My brake pads & rotors and all scedule maintenance uptodate.
I was driving at approximately 40 miles per hour and began breaking behind traffic at a stop light.i was pressing down on the brake pedal as hard as i could, the tires began to grind and i could hear and feel the engine revving because the car was trying to accelerate forward.when the car was failing to come to a complete stop, i put the car in the "park" gear.the car quickly corrected what was going wrong.this was the third ocassion and most severe.it's been more than two years or so since the first two occurrences.i reported the first two instances, when i took my car in to lexus for regular maintenance service. They didn'tfind any defect.the first occasions, i was on a parking lot driving slowly looking a place to part at a retail establishment.

How can i confirm that my airbag light has not been disabled?
Hydraulic hood supports failed causing hood to fall suddenly almost striking child. No other supports available under hood to prevent harm or injury. Similar repair was provided for trunk on 2004 toyota sienna by manufacture due to safety concern. This is a faulty design that should never fail due to risk of serious head or neckinjury. Please respond back.
