Owner report 11540444 · 2023-08-23 (August 23, 2023)
On July 15, 2022, my 2022 RX450hL drove itself across approximately 150 feet of rugged desert terrain and ended upside down in my neighbor's driveway. No one was in the car and no one was in the driveway where it landed. I had parked the car on the side of my house, after several seconds the car took off across the desert to self-destruct. I contacted Lexus, someone from their legal dept. contacted me and they sent a representative to collect the "black box." After that Lexus refused to take my calls or provide any information to me about…

Owner report 11604845 · 2024-07-26 (July 26, 2024)
I was driving down a highway when the sunroof of my vehicle exploded. There were no cars in close proximity, so no rocks or anything were kicked up and could’ve hit the vehicle. It caused glass to fly in my face as I was driving and cut me as well as my autistic son who was in the backseat. A rep at the Lexus dealership said it’s not the first time he’s heard of this happening. There are numerous posts online about the same thing happening to drivers. Temperature change couldn’t have been a factor because it was a cool 80° summer day.

The rotors were resurfaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired a second time because the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufactur…

Owner report 11617264 · 2024-09-30 (September 30, 2024)
We were driving down the highway approx 60 mph on a clear day with very little traffic. All of a sudden I hear a loud explosion and then rattling in the roof. When I pulled off the road I saw that the sunroof was mostly gone. Luckily we were close to town and were able to seal the hole in my roof. If the sunroof had been opened I fear I may have wrecked the car.
