2013 Lexus Ct

HORN STOPPED WORKING WHEN STEERING WHEEL IN STRAIGHT POSITION. WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED TO THE RIGHT THE HORN WORKS. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED TO THE LEFT , THE HORN WORKS IN CERTAIN POSITIONS BUT IS NOT CONSISTENT. THIS CREATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT YOU CANNOT USE THE HORN TO WARN OTHER CARS OR PEDESTRIANS. NOTICED THE HORN ISSUES IN THE BEGGING OF NOVEMBER 2017. NOT SURE HOW LONG THE HORN WAS BROKEN BEFORE THAT.

CAR SURGES WHEN BRAKING AND GOING OVER SPEED BUMP, TRAIN TRACKS, POT HOLES GOING BETWEEN 20 - 35 MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5-6 TIMES SINCE WITH 1/14 HAPPENING I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I HAVE ASKED FOR LEXUS OF PALM BEACH TO DO HEALTH CHECK, BRAKE CHECK AND ALL SYSTEMS ARE OK, BUT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. JUST WORRIED THAT WHEN CAR SURGES, ME AND/OR MY FAMILY OR PASSENGERS GET INJURED

SINGLE VEHICLE ROLLOVER APROX. 75MPH ON HIGHWAY.. VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS. VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED WITH EXTREME FORCE ON ALL SIDES AND TOP OF VEHICLE. DRIVERS LEFT SHOULDER AND FACE WHERE INJURED DURING THE IMPACT AND ROLL. SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYMENT WOULD HAVE SAVED DRIVER FROM INJURY IF THEY WHERE WORKING PROPERLY.

THE WHITE RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE REAR END OF SOME LEXUS MODELS ARE HAZARDOUS. WHITE LIGHTS INDICATE AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, SO REAR WHITE RUNNING LIGHTS VIOLATE THAT RULE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING BEHIND THESE VEHICLES IN FAIR WEATHER CONDITIONS AND HAD MOMENTARY CONFUSION, SO I IMAGINE THAT IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS, THIS COULD REALLY CAUSE A PROBLEM. PLEASE CONSIDER PROHIBITING THE PLACEMENT OF WHITE RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE REAR END OF VEHICLES. THANK YOU. *TR

STARTING COLD. FOOT ON BRAKE. PUSH START BUTTON. DASH STUFF LIGHTS UP BUT CAR DOES NOT START. TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE AND DEPRESS GAS PEDAL. CAR STARTS. IT WILL STALL IF LEFT TO RUN WITH FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL.EASY TO RESTART BY DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL AND NO FOOT ON BRAKE. DOES THIS CONSISTENTLY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LEXUS CT. WHILE COASTING INTO AN ELEVATED DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,847. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 03/30/15*LJ UPDATED 6/24/2015*JS

I HAD PLACED MY TOLL ROADS TRANSPONDER (APPROX. 4"X4"X1/2') ON THE DASH IN FRONT OF THE CLOSED NAVIGATION PANEL. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, THE NAVIGATION PANEL OPENED AUTOMATICALLY AND THE TRANSPONDER SLID UNDER THE PANEL, PREVENTING THE PANEL FROM OPENING OR CLOSING ALL OF THE WAY. I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE TRANSPONDER SO I TOOK IT TO MY LEXUS DEALER WHO TOLD ME SINCE IT WAS NOT A "WARRANTY ITEM", IT WOULD COST $140/HR TO REPAIR. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT - ANYTHING SMALL WILL SLIDE UNDER THE NAVIGATION PANEL WHEN IT OPENS AND WILL JAM THE UNIT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE SUNROOF ON MY 2013 LEXUS CT200H EXPLODED WITH A DEAFENING BANG. WINDOWS WERE ROLLED UP, AC RUNNING, SUNROOF CLOSED. I WAS NOT NEAR A BRIDGE, NOR WAS SOMEONE NEXT TO ME WHO COULD HAVE THROWN SOMETHING. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE LEXUS DEALER IN AUSTIN TEXAS, BUT THEY DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM ("SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT IT" THEY SAID, ALTHOUGH I ASKED WHY THE REMAINING GLASS WAS BOWED OUTWARD, FOR WHICH THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER), AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE SUNROOF UNDER WARRANTY (ITS A 2013, WITH ABOUT 17K MILES). I HAD A FRIEND WHO HAD A LEXUS SERVICED THERE YESTERDAY (AFTER I'D GONE) TO ASK THE SAME DEALER IF THEY'VE HEARD OF IT, AND THE SERVICE TECH SAID YES THEY DEFINITELY KNEW, YET THEY DIDN'T ADMIT THAT TO ME. ON THE CONTRARY, THE LEXUS REP SAID "WE DON'T SEE RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING TO THIS VEHICLE." THIS IS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL MAKES/MODELS, AND BEEN REPORTED HERE, SO IT MAY BE THE GLASS (CHEAP FROM CHINA?) AND NOT A ROOF-DESIGN PROBLEM. IN ANY CASE, ITS DEADLY AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY HAVE ALREADY DIED, BUT NO ONE KNEW IT WAS THAT THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SPRAYED THEIR EYES WITH SHATTERED GLASS, CAUSING THEM TO ROLL OVER, TO HIT ONCOMING TRAFFIC, A POLE, OR A TREE. AND IN THE JUMBLE OF CAR PARTS AND BODY PARTS, IT WASN'T OBVIOUS THE ROOF EXPLODING WAS WHY IT HAPPENED. *TR
