From what I have been reading on that year and model, there seems to be major issues with the invertors. Like many I was driving on the highway and the vehicle just quits. This put me and many others in a very dangerous situation and I could have been hit at high rates of speed. If as many people are having these issues, then Lexus needs to step up and recall this part before someone gets killed

Vvt-I oil line failure. Limited service campaign ended in Dec 2021. No notice sent, no repairs suggested at the dealership within the eligible period. Vvt-I failed and engine lost all oil in minutes while driving, coating the front passenger brake caliper and rendering the breaking dangerously difficult on the passenger side on the highway.

The power steering and hybrid system failed and vehicle completely stopped in middle of busy freeway with no prior warnings or issues before. The safety of my son and I, and others around me during the abrupt stop of the engine. I could not move out of way. The vehicle has been serviced for this exact issue during a recall campaign lasting from 2011 to 2014. Ten years later and it is still happening! There were NO warning lamps or messages or symptoms prior to this failure. It just passed vehicle inspections for the year

Dear manager: I have this 2006 LEXUS RX400H which has CHECK VSC SYSTEM and CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM problems. When I was driving on the highway, the cruise control button is unable to turn on, when at speed of 65 MPH it will suddenly stall in the middle of the road and the READY light will be off and the vehicle has to be stopped by the emergency lane which is REALLY DANGEROUS. I have searched online and found out there were many complains about this issue and LEXUS issued a recall for this type of car and the...

Car dies after driving for a bit. We've spent over $3k fixing fuel pump, batteries, and others. From what I'm reading it sounds like my car should be on the inverter recall list, but it's not.

I purchased a used 2007 lexus rx350 for my 16 year old daughter. It had a little over 100k miles. Everything worked perfectly, no complaints whatsoever. Until, my son borrowed it, and while he was driving it, he said it quit. He lost all power steering, so he pulled over. We called a tow truck to tow it to a mechanic. When the mechanic called me, he said the oil cooling line busted, which made the oil pump empty the engine's oil. He said it would need a whole new engine. He said the car is worth nothing. I...
