Vehicle is 2016 lexus GS350 showing clear coat failure on the roof on the edges. Door handles and black pillar cover are not both showing discoloration. The head light cover under both headlights have lost its color. A vehicle of this age should not be having paint failure like this.

In the process of making a u-turn on a private narrow street the automobile rpm jumped from an almost idle condition to over 3000 rpm. Every effort to brake the car and shift to neutral proved ineffective within the distance of approximately 30 feet. The automobile jumped the curb and struck a low garden wall forcing an engine stop. The airbags failed to deploy. My estimate of the speed when striking the wall was 30 to 35 mph. I have pictures which show the brake streaks as well as total damage scene. In addition...

a next door neighbor heard the entire sequence of events and can verify the extent of the braking effort. To date lexus has stated that it was not an automobile defect.

I own a 2001 lexus gs300. I bought it new. My complaint is about the design of the trunk lid. Every time you open it, it will not stay up in a wind or when parked on a hill. It has come down on my head more times than I can count. The last time was today in a wind. It cut my head. I have talked to the dealer about the problem and he said that is the way it is designed and to get a stick to hold it up. The first day I opened the trunk when I bought it, it came down on my head. I wonder what would happen if a child got hit by the trunk lid. *Jb
