Lexus NX 250 Problems by year

restarted the vehicle. I believe the manual brakes failed to engage causing the incident. My safety and the safety of my passengers was put at risk, brakes are an integral part of a vehicle. I was not going fast and was actively engaged in driving. When I pushed the brakes and nothing happened, I repeatedly slammed my foot on the brake as my vehicle continued to roll into the 18-wheeler. Had I been going faster and a vehicle in front of me hit their brakes me and my passenger would be seriously injured. Toyota corporate has inspected the vehicle, and their response was as follows: "According to the electronic data, the brake pedal was being softly applied during the recorded event. The brake pedal was forcibly applied 1.05 seconds prior to the crash. The electronic data indicated that the brakes were never applied prior to the impact." I have attempted to speak with Toyota Corporate (Legal Claims & Brand Engagement Center depts.), but they have been unresponsive to my concerns & only emailed me twice (once to identify the legal claims analyst & then with their conclusion) while my vehicle was with them for 3.5 months. There was no involvement with police or insurance. Toyota Motor North America Inc. hired a third-party engineering firm (EAA) to perform testing to recreate the problem, inspect the vehicle, and evaluate the electronic data; they claim it has no issues. There were no warning lamps, messages prior to the incident.

for service. I've called Lexus every single time it has happened. The only answers I'm getting is that they can't re-create it so they can't do nothing about it. I escalated the problem and they are just repeating that it is a design of the car. ' But if I wanna bring it in again, they can try to re-create it.' You can't re-create it unless you're really, really lucky! Happens about once a month. BUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, is that this car is going to kill me...almost hit for the third time because of this, since I've owned the car for three years!! WHEN IT HAPPENS: During the process of giving your car, a little gas to go forward and then breaking, as you do when you're behind someone turning left, waiting for your turn, that back-and-forth between the break and the accelerator... Somehow disengages the accelerator. It is a completely totally dead pedal for a terrifying five seconds at least before it begins responding again.... Now imagine that you just rolled up to the light and you are waiting to turn left. The first person goes, now it's your turn, momentum has carried your car forward with your wheels turned toward the left; and as you prepare to accelerate through the intersection...your car, literally dies! You have no gas pedal!!!!! AND your momentum has you right in the line of oncoming drivers! AND YOU CANT MOVE! Lexus has called "by design"!! And they won't do a damn thing about it. I escalated it to the highest level.

different color and fading output is impacting my vehicle's visibility while on the road, and makes me less visible to other vehicle and pedestrian traffic on any and all roadways. This very problem was reported to a service and body shop repair location, and was inspected by a Lexus dealership at the request of Lexus Brand Engagement for the dealer service to inspect and report on their findings. The dealer determined the headlight would need to be replaced to repair the failing daytime running element. There have been zero warning lamps or messages about this failing headlight component, and this began to appear after the headlight on the driver's side of the vehicle was replaced because of a completely separate accident and subsequent repair. The discoloration and faded output of the daytime running element was the issue with both of these headlights, only noticed when the driver side headlight unit was completely replaced, indicating this error on the passenger side. A service technician told me directly this could be the start of a recall. I have looked online and many other NX and other Toyota-Lexus drivers are experiencing early-onset failure of these headlight components. There was mention of these components overheating and failing. My vehicle is only four years old, and Lexus Brand Engagement has refused to follow up about this failing component. This is not normal for these components to be failing at such an early point of lifetime use.
