Service Brakes · reported Nov 2, 2026
On October 30, 2026, at approximately 1:00 AM, I experienced a serious and unexpected safety incident involving my 2024 Lexus RX 350. While slowly parking my vehicle in my garage, at a very low speed and nearly at a complete stop, the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward without my intentionally pressing the accelerator pedal. At approximately the same time, the steering wheel appeared to lock or become unresponsive, preventing me from maintaining control of the vehicle. The vehicle surged forward and collided with my garage door, causing property damage. Additionally, the vehicle's…
Unknown or Other · reported Oct 21, 2026
On October 16, 2026, the panoramic sunroof glass on my 2024 Lexus RX 500h shattered without any impact. The vehicle had about 78,000 miles. I was driving at roughly 70 mph on a highway when the glass burst with a loud bang. The glass blew upward and outward, not inward, and there was no road debris, no overhead object and no sign of anything striking the roof. No impact point or chip is visible on the remaining glass. No one was injured. The vehicle was out of the 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty. The Lexus dealer inspected it and is replacing the sunroof assembly. I am filing because the…
Engine · reported Oct 12, 2026
My 2024 Lexus RX 500h experiences an intermittent failure to respond when I press the accelerator pedal. During these episodes, pressing the pedal does not produce the expected acceleration, making the vehicle’s response unpredictable. Lexus service bulletin L-SB-0026-25 was performed on my vehicle to address the issue. However, the accelerator nonresponse continues after that repair. The issue remains unresolved. I am concerned that an unexpected inability to accelerate could leave my vehicle exposed to approaching traffic when entering a roadway or crossing an intersection. This is a…
Engine · reported Oct 11, 2026
Dangerous Vehicle Failure on Highway XXX —XXX On the morning of XXX, at approximately 9:00 a.m., I drove the vehicle from [XXX] to the [XXX]. It was raining during Hurricane ISAIAS, and traffic stopped because of an accident approximately 2,000 meters ahead. After waiting in traffic and rain for approximately 15 minutes, my vehicle suddenly displayed multiple warning messages, including hybrid-system and shift-system warnings. Within seconds, the vehicle became inoperable. My vehicle was left stranded in the middle of Highway 141 as traffic began moving again. Vehicles behind and beside me…
Electrical System · reported Sep 23, 2026
A 2024 Lexus RX 350 H 12 volt battery is discharging leaving owners stranded. AAA must be called to jump the battery. This has happened four times, each when opening car doors to clean the vehicle. From my understanding the battery discharges within 5 minutes leaving the auxiliary system without power and the inability to start the car. Not exactly sure what is causing the battery drain but vehicle becomes unable to move, open doors or move since drive train will not allow any movement. Owners have been stranded four times waiting on help. Dealer unsure of problem but exploring electrical…
