WATER PUMP LEAKING COOLANT: This pump which pushes coolant for engine's cooling system is leaking in several Lexus vehicles. If not replaced, engine will not be operating efficiently and could result in catastrophic engine damage. My vehicle although out of warranty has not even reached 40,000 miles. Dealer provided estimate of $1,134.81 + tax. Dealer warned that if not replaced it could result in catastrophic engine damage that has costed people between $7,000-$21,000. On further research on Internet, I found that coolant water pump has failed in Lexus for several customers, for multiple models of Lexus, for several years, at low mileages. Despite this Lexus has never issued a recall of defective coolant water pump. I would request NHTSA to please investigate this serios issue. Thank You !!

I stepped out of my car in our condo complex after parking. and turned off the engine only after i stepped out completely. vehicle starts rolling. I opened the door so wide, in panicked jumped back with right leg pressing on the break/ turning engine , shift gear to park, as i have no control over the door. As i am trying to hold on the steering wheel and doing all the actions mentioned above , the door swung hard with my leg on it while the car is in rolling motion. It did stop , almost hitting the parked pickup car. damaged the door and the front fender. Dont recall exactly what happened, it possible that i may have turned it off while it is in drive (?) but vehicle is not moving. Lexus a luxury car made it too convenient with auto parking brake , doesn’t not have a safety feature to prevent roll off accident when vehicle is at full stop and engine turned off.(unlike prius). Repair estimated at $3,000-$5,000.

We have heated & cooled seats. My wife noticed a burnt section in the passenger front seat. It’s about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/16 wide - this is the actual opening of the burn, the area around the burn turned black and is about the size of a quarter.

While driving my car, the vehicle would not let me drive pass 20 miles. My engine light came on and my tractor off came on. Almost causing an accident. Also, my car cut off while driving. I took it to Lexus service repair and they said it’s a fuel pump issue. I see a recall was list for my car but the year 2015. Mine is a 2017 and Lexus IS trying to make me pay for a service knowing that other cars had the same issues.
