In heavy traffic the car stalled and by pumping the accelrator several times it activated..then at the stop light it did the same issue and heavy traffic was upon me blowing there horns..I carryed it to a lexus dealer and they could not determine the problem..I went online and found out that their is a recall on this vehicle..which was not taken care of by the car dealer before I purchased the vehicle in April 2021. Lives can be taken and I want this problem taken care of before it's our lives.

Vehicle has been reported before for similar problems. This time, no power, severe stumbling, lurching. Check engine light comes on along with warning indicators that the electrical systems have failed. Lexus notified again and vehicle will be towed to dealership. This car is dangerous and life threatening as we were in traffic with no power. Dealer did not notify us of any problems prior to sale but this car qualifies as a lemon under AZ law. Additionally, if other Lexus owners are having this problem, they should immediately stop using the vehicle and park it before someone gets injured/killed.

Vehicle stumbles and loses power when accelerating. Loss of power when passing. Both situations caused driver to abort action for fear of not having the power to enter the roadway or pass vehicles. Lexus dealership acknowledged the problem with this vehicle and said the fuel pump was replaced because of a recall. Problem continues to exist and is dangerous to driver and others. Dealer further recommended we -€œ change our driving habits -€œ to remediate the problem. Not acceptable.

While driving 65-70mph on the freeway, the car started dinging and one of the first messages that we saw was "pre-collision system malfunction" & "hybrid system malfuncion" followed by every other "system malfunction" and the gas pedal was no longer supplying gas to the car. We were in the fast lane and had to work over 3 or 4 lanes to get to the emergency lane/exit. Since we were at an exit, we took the exit and coasted as far as we could before the car came to a halt. Another car stopped to help us get completely off the road since we weren't fully in the emergency lane. After a few minutes we were able to crank the car and drive it a few miles to the dealership. We left the car at the dealership and they called the next day to inform us that the fuel pump had to be replaced. I did not find this vehicle to be part of any recall or lawsuit but several other Lexus models are part of a recall/lawsuit due to a problem with the Denso fuel pump. I'm not sure if my car has this same fuel pump. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Car was pdi and delivered on 06/14/20 with an open recall 20la01 that was likely to be a life-threatening issue. Even after pdi was performed, the breaks were disfunctional, so had to take the vehicle for service on 06/19/20. Lexus found that rotors required resurfacing to fix the breaks and at the same time completed the open recall 20la01. However on 07/03/20, the car stalled in the middle of a highway traffic putting the pax thru a life-threatening situation. Car has been finally towed to the service and I am verbally promised that the car has been fixed to not present any life threatening issues. Since it is just 15 days of purchase and vehicle been into the service review for 3 times with some life-threatening open issues, I am requesting Lexus to either refund or provide me a replacement.

While driving on a city street the warning lights came on and the car stalled. I was alone in the car and in downtown city traffic with honking cars behind me. I was able to restart the car after a few attempts. A few days after this incident, while driving on a very busy hwy at 55mph the car engine was skipping as if about to stall. I had a passenger in my car who experienced this rough ride and made a comment about it. A few days later, on March 8,2020, I received an email from Lexus enform services with a vehicle health report informing me that my vehicle requires attention due to a safety recall 20la01. When I leased my vehicle, I was never informed of this recall which goes back to 01/13/2020. Safety is a top concern for me and I fully communicated this to the salesperson when I leased my car but I was not informed of this recall at that time. I have exactly 2800 miles on my car. I am not able to use it because the service department at Lexus does not have a remedy available to fix the low -pressure fuel pump and they do not know when they will have it. I want to drive a vehicle that is safe not one that increases the risk of having a crash.

On Jan 13, 2020 Lexus announced that my 2019 RX350 has a low pressure fuel pump that could fail resulting in an increase in the risk of a crash. Lexus has informed me that a fix is not available. I left the car at the dealer on Jan. 27, 2020. The car is still there after 6 weeks. There is still not fix to the problem and I will not let my wife drive this car with this issue. Any suggestions?
