Owner report 11457924 · 2022-03-22 (March 22, 2022)
After driving normally we smelled gas in the car and noticed fuel going low fast .

My family were able to safely jump out of the car and 911 was called. There were no warning sign on dashboard. I don’t drive off road or over any objects that I am aware as there is no light or heavy damage underneath except fuel tank . This is am sure is due to small debris hitting the exposed tank causing the tear although I d…

Owner report 11471156 · 2022-06-27 (June 27, 2022)
Sunroof exploded on interstate with no other cars around. Thought we had been shot. Noticed air sound and started to open sunroof to have shards of glass fall on us. Closed roof. Pulled off as soon as we got to exit making sure that no one was behind us so that those pieces which were flying off our car would not cause a broken windshield for someone else or an accident. Took pictures of sunroof with huge hole with glass pointing upward. Nothing in the area between roof and sunroof closer. Took to dealer and were told it was covered only to fi…

Owner report 11490564 · 2022-10-24 (October 24, 2022)
I have already contacted the dealer and Lexus corporate. If you drive this car with polarized sunglasses all of your gauges disappear and you have no idea of anything with respect to the automobile such as speed or any of the other indications. I was told that they agree that this is a design defect but they will not do anything about it and if they do do something in the future then I should keep watching for a recall. I told them that being unable to wear sunglasses when you have sensitive eyes is unacceptable and not being able to see a sing…
