The door lock accuator on the driver's side is inoperable.i have to manually lock the driver side door then open the passenger door and lean into the car and reach over to unlock the driver side door each time i need to open the door. Cost to repair is $600.00 (parts & labor) i feel this is excessive as the vehicle is only 5 years old and has only 55,500 miles! parts dealer noted he keeps the part stocked on his shelf as it is frequently requested.

Applied brakes to slow vehicle coming to a stop sign, the car would not stop and the brake pedal felt like the traction control engaged,the brake resisted and made a grinding noise, the car finally stopped,there were no light indicators on the dash. I continued for about 1/4 mile with 2 more stop signs with no incident, on the 3rd stop ( at my destination) the car again would not come to a complete stop for about 30 feet, no dash light indicators, the brake resisted again. I have not driven the car since.

I stopped at a stop sign in a very quiet residential area shortly after lunch time. My car had been in my garage and the stop sign was a block and a half from my house.i turned left onto a street with no traffic and i did not see anyone outside in the neighborhood.just a few seconds after i turned i was driving about 15 miles an hour when i heard a very loud noise that sounded like a gunshot.my right side view mirror had exploded!the mirror itself had been blown out of the mirror casing and it was dangling by a wire.the hard clear plastic covering over the lights on the outside of the mirror casing was cracked in several places.there was no other visible damage on the outside of the mirror casing.i do not know what caused the explosion.i taped the mirror back inside the mirror casing and took my car to the repair shop.they have ordered a new mirror for me but it hasn't been received yet.i checked and there have been no recalls for this problem yet.it could have been very dangerous if someone had been standing beside my car when this happened.also, if i had been driving faster i might have lost control of my car when i was startled by the very loud explosion that sounded like a gunshot.

I purchased this car new and about 3 years ago the automatic door locks on this vehicle started to fail - first it started with front passenger door and now in addition to front passenger door, the driver door and the rear right door automatic locks to not engage when i try to lock/unlock.i have been told that i need to replace these at a cost of ~$1,000 for each door and think this is unfair since there are numerous reports of automatic door locks on this model failing online and it is a common issue with the door actuator failing (but not recalled) (see lexus owner site and youtube - search "2013 lexus rx350 door locks not working" on google for details). I am currently manually locking/unlocking these doors and feel unsafe and feel my personal property inside the car is exposed to theft since sometimes i forget to lock these 3 doors manually when driving alone in vehicle.note the above occurs when the vehicle is stationary, in motion, on a city street/highway, and turning.
Cpsc:2013 lexus rx 350 vacuuming the rear cargo area when the rear door automatically began to close and it started to trap me between the door and the floor of the cargo area. After pushing up on the door with all my strength i was able to squeeze out. Updated 05/09/2017
The software locator is defective & will send you to the wrong place. Lexus has a campaign to fix it thru 2022 where they update the software.unfortunately they do not update the navigation software at the same time and that should be a requirement because the location software and the navigation software work conjunctively. Instead they want to charge you $400 for navigation update. Not satisfactory.i escalated this at lexus customer service &it was not addressed properly.so lexus wants to do the software update for the location services but they want you to pay $400 for the navigation update that works alongside it?sounds like a bait and switch to me.
Under acceleration on to the highway exhaust smells will enter the vehicle thru the air conditioning vents when a/c is in recirculate mode. Smells will subside when cruising speeds are reached. While at highway speeds when accelerating to pass vehicles the smells will momentarily enter the cabin under acceleration and will subside when back to cruise speed. Will not happen when driving around town. Brought to dealer many times for repair cannot fix.
Saturday, november 24, 2018 i started my day by first going to the bank. I entered the parking lot of suntrust bank on race track road, in bowie md.upon entering into the parking lot a car exiting the bank of america drive thru should have stop for me to have the right away, but did not, so i came to a complete stop to allow that car go pass. I then proceeded to a parking space. As i was entering the parking space, with my foot on the brake, my lexus rx 350 ' 2013 accelerated. I immediately continued to press on the brakes which did not engage and went straight to the floor. The suv jumped onto the sidewalk and proceeded to the steps, it then crossed the media and when straight into the brick pole of the bank of america drive-thru. I was confused and nervous at this point, because the day before the battery on this suv stopped working and i took it to toyota where i purchased a battery and the toyota mechanic did a complete diagnosis test on the suv. Never did i think that the very next day that the car would react this way.i purchased this suv april 2017, taking this car into all oil changes, whatever was required to be fix, i fixed it.i have done some research and saw that this is a problem with the rx 350, the last complaint was filed in october 2018 and still nothing has been done about this.after the accident i went to the doctor because of the constant headaches, which has not stopped. They recommended physical therapy.i also had to go to my eye care center due to the fact that i had cataract surgery just one month prior and am having vision issues.i never received a recall on this suv and the airbags did not open up.

My sunroof exploded . Heard the pop while on the freeway with nothing above me or near me. My inside cover was closed but when i got out and shut the door the shattered glass fell on the the cover. I'm 99% sure nothing hit me because there was no one even close.it just popped and shattered. I was on se beltway in pasadena txbetween i-45 and the toll booth heading east and there was no traffic .it just didn't make sense.now i have been hearing from many others that their sun roof broke also.could it be a defect? i did get it repaired .
