Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2016 Lexus RX350 and RX450h vehicles manufactured November 16, 2015, to December 23, 2015. Due to an improper weld, the gas needed to inflate the driver's knee air bag may escape from the inflator.

KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AT ~50K MILES. TOOK IT TO A LEXUS SERVICE CENTER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOUND WAS FROM A FAILING BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. IF NOT ADDRESSED, THE FAILING PUMP COULD MAKE BRAKING THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE 2017 RX350S HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT NOTHING FOR THE 2016 RX350S. DISAPPOINTED THAT A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN DILIGENTLY MAINTAINED WITH ONLY ~50K MILES IS ALREADY HAVING ISSUES WITH FAILING PARTS THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. I WAS VERY SHAKEN UP. IT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE. I WAS TRAVELING 220 CROSS LAKE BRIDGE AND AT TIME COULD NOT PULL OVER. I KEPT HEARING CRUNCHING NOISE ABOVE ME. I OPENED SUNROOF INSIDE COVER AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED AND IT WAS WHAT HAD EXPLODED.

RODENT DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS OF MY 2016 LEXUS RX 350 CAUSED BY LEXUS USING A SOY BASE COVERING ON THE WIRES THAT ATTRACT RODENTS. LEXUS TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR THAT COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BASE ON ALL THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AND SHOULD LED TO A RECALL

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED

Mileage: 23,000

THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING AND SPUTTERING AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 0.1 MILE ON A CITY STREET. AFTER CONTACTING THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP REGARDING THE ISSUE, WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED INTO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP. AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, THEY DETERMINED THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS 51,701 MILES ON IT. THE TOWING CHARGE WAS $101, AND THE REPAIRS WERE $808.96. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER, I SAW THAT TOYOTA AND LEXUS WERE RECALLING VARIOUS MODELS AND YEARS WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE THAT WE EXPERIENCED. ALTHOUGH THE 2016 RX350 IS NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED, I CONTACTED LEXUS BECAUSE THE COINCIDENCE WAS TOO MUCH TO IGNORE. LEXUS ADVISED THAT OUR VEHICLE IS NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA 20V012000.

I REPORTED THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE TO LEXUS CHANTILLY, VA WHEN I DROVE ON HIGHWAY FROM VA TO IN, THE LEXUS SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 83, AND MY WAZE SHOWS 75. ITS 8 MPH DIFFERENCE. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED OF THE MPH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 6 TO 8 MPH. LEXUS SAID, I REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHEN THIS SPEEDOMETER IS DEFECTED BY LEXUS DESIGN. IT HAS DO NOTHING WITH PERSONAL WEAR, ETC. I DROVE OTHER HONDA PILOT, AND THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED CORRECTLY AGAINST THE TRAFFIC PATTERN, AND WAZE APP, BUT THE 2016 LEXUS DOESNT SHOW THE CORRECT BASED ON TRAFFIC FLOW, AND WAZE APP. THE TRAVEL FROM LEESBURG, VA TO INDIAOPOLIS, IN SHOULD BE 547, BUT ENDED AT 601 MILES. IM OK IF ITS JUST FEW MILES DIFFERENCES, BUT 50 MILES PER EVERY 500 MILES IS HUGE, 5% ERROR. I THINK ITS BECAUSE OF SPEEDOMETER AND IMPACT ERROR ACTUAL MILES. I WENT TO LEXUS CHANTILLY, VA TO PERFORM RECALL FOR OTHER THING, DOOR HANDLE, BUT THEY SAID, WONT LOOK AT SPEEDOMETER ISSUE, UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. THEN I CALLED LEXUS CORPORATION TO OP

A BROADSIDE COLLISION CAUSING DAMAGE TO FRONT LEFT OF THE CAR, INJURY TO THE DRIVER WITH FORCE OF THE COLLISION, AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY.

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK DURING A RAINSTORM AROUND 6:30AM ON APRIL 23 2020, WHEN I SUDDENLY HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG. I LOOKED UP TO SEE THAT MY SUNROOF HAD BURST AND THERE WERE GLASS FRAGMENTS RAINING ON MY HEAD. I CLOSED THE VISOR TO PREVENT MORE GLASS AND PRECIPITATION FROM FALLING INTO THE VEHICLE, AND PULLED UNDER AN AWNING TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE. THE GLASS HAD BURST OUTWARD (PICTURES ATTACHED), AND THERE WERE NO DENTS OR CHIPS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE INDICATING THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK BY SOMETHING. OTHER THAN THE SHATTERED GLASS, THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, AT THE TIME THE GLASS BURST, MY VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY CAR ON THE ROAD WITHIN SEVERAL HUNDRED METERS, SO THIS COULD NOT HAVE RESULTED FROM ANY SORT OF ROAD DEBRIS KICKED UP BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I SUFFERED MINOR CUTS TO MY ARMS AND HEAD, BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY MAJOR INJURIES. MY RX350 HAD FEWER THAN 24K MILES ON IT AND WAS 3 YEAR

ACCELERATION FROM STOP IS BUMPY AND SOMETIMES CUTS OUT WHILE TURNING ON A CITY STREET.

I HAVE ALMOST BEEN T-BONED FOUR TIMES IN 2 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE DUE TO IT RANDOMLY STALLING BRIEFLY WHILE TURNING. OCCASIONALLY I LOSE POWER WHILE GOING UPHILL, AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF MY VEHICLE 'JUMPING' OR SURGING. IT HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING, BUT THE MAJORITY IF THE TIME I HAVE NOTICED IT, IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING OR ACCELERATING. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON, BUT I HAVE HAS THIS ISSUE SINCE DAY ONE OF BUYING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I SAW THE RECALL THAT WAS EXPANDED TODAY ON TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES FOR A FAULTY FUEL PUMP, I STARTED READING ABOUT IT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE EXACTLY WHAT MY ISSUE IS. THE RECALL COVERS 2017-2019 AND MY CAR IS A 2016, BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 3:30 PM CST, MY VEHICLE SUNROOF JUST EXPLODED AND THE GLASS SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN THE FRONT FOR AT LEAST 150 METERS.I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE AIRPORT. THE WIND NOISE WAS LOUD AND ALSO I HAD BOOKED THE PARKING OUTSIDE (NON-COVERED) SO I HAD TO GO BACK HOME AND TAKE MY WIFE'S CAR. IN THIS PROCESS, I ALMOST MISSED THE FLIGHT. AS PER THE WEATHER REPORT IT WAS GOING TO RAIN THE NEXT 3 DAYS SO I KNEW I COULDN'T PARK THE CAR OUTSIDE WITH THE BROKEN SUNROOF WHICH WOULD CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. FORTUNATELY, THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED SO WHEN THE GLASS SHATTERED IT DIDN'T COME INSIDE AND DIDN'T HURT ME. I AM NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WAS OPEN?

AFTER REPLACING BATTERY, THE GPS, AUDIO SYSTEM, HEAT CONTROLS, (ENTIRE DISPLAY IS BLANK) THE DEALER SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON-LINE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE..
