SAFETY CONNECT SYSTEM THAT REACHES OUT FOR HELP AUTOMATICALLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WILL BE DISCONTINUED BY MOST TELEPHONE SERVICE PROVIDERS IN LATE OCTOBER 2022. AS A RESULT LEXUS WILL STOP SUPPORTING SAFETY CONNECT AND WILL NOT OFFER AN UPGRADE TO 5G SERVICE FOR A FEE. I THEREFORE HAVE A 30,000 VEHICLE THAT IS OTHERWISE PERFECT THAT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE IF I WANT TO MAINTAIN THIS SAFETY FEATURE. I THINK NHTSA SHOULD EXTEND THE REQUIRED TIME VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD HAVE TO MAINTAIN SAFETY FEATURES EVEN IN SITUATIONS SUCH AS THIS WHERE THE PHONE COMPANIES ARE PHASING OUT A TECHNOLOGY. A REASONABLE FEE WOULD BE ACCEPTED BY MOST CUSTOMERS.

ON AT LEAST THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY LEXUS HS 250H HAS HAD A SENSATION OF LOSING ITS BRAKES. EACH OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP ON A BUMPY ROAD. AS THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED TO STOP, IF THE CAR HITS A POTHOLE OR BUMP, IT FEELS AS THOUGH I AM ON GLARE ICE WITH NO DECELERATION AT ALL. THE SENSATION LASTS ONLY A M…

ON AT LEAST THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY LEXUS HS 250H HAS HAD A SENSATION OF LOSING ITS BRAKES. EACH OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP ON A BUMPY ROAD. AS THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED TO STOP, IF THE CAR HITS A POTHOLE OR BUMP, IT FEELS AS THOUGH I AM ON GLARE ICE WITH NO DECELERATION AT ALL. THE SENSATION LASTS ONLY A MOMENT AND THEN NORMAL BRAKING RESUMES. IT SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AT SLOW SPEEDS ON A BUMPY ROAD. IN EACH CASE IT WAS NOTICEABLE ENOUGH THAT MY ADRENALINE KICKED IN. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND TO LEXUS. NO REPAIRS OR OTHER ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN YET.

HELLO, I HAVE A 2010 LEXUS HS250H. THE CAR IS WONDERFUL, BUT SINCE IT HAS RECENTLY STARTED RAINING IN MY AREA, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EXPERIENCES WHEN MY RIGHT TIRES GO OVER TWO SMALL METAL PLATES IN THE ROAD NEAR MY HOUSE AND I APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE CAR SEEMS TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. IT APPEARS TO SEIZE AND SLIP, AND IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING. AS A RESULT, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND THE METAL PLATES TO AVOID THEM. HOWEVER, IF I DON'T KNOW THE AREA I CANNOT ALWAYS ANTICIPATE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. *TW A SECOND PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THE CAR, IS WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD, IT ALSO APPEARS TO GO OUT OF CONTROL, SURGING AND STOPPING. I CONSIDER THESE TWO SITUATIONS TO BE SAFETY ISSUES, AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THEM WITH ANY OTHER CARS I HAVE DRIVEN IN ALMOST 35 YEARS.
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2010 Prius vehicles manufactured March 31, 2009, through October 9, 2009; and model year 2010 Lexus HS250h vehicles manufactured June 19, 2009, through October 9, 2009. Nitrogen gas from a component of the brake booster pump assembly could leak into the brake fluid.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: As nitrogen is released into the brake fluid, the brake pedal may have reduced hydraulic pressure. Under certain circumstances, this condition could affect stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected brake booster pump assemblies. The recall began on August 7, 2013. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 HS250h LEXUS VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ROTATED FOLLOWING A CRASH TEST AS REQUIRED, THE AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKAGE EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE LIMITS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BY INSTALLING A NEWLY DESIGNED PROTECTOR COMPONENT FOR THE FUEL FILLER INLET PIPE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 9, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.
TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS AND LEXUS HS250H PASSENGER VEHICLES. CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED INCONSISTENT BRAKE FEEL AFTER ABS ACTUATION DURING SLOW AND STEADY APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES ON ROUGH OR SLICK ROAD SURFACES. STOPPING DISTANCES MAY BE INCREASED COMPARED WITH A CUSTOMER'S EXPECTATION FOR A GIVEN PEDAL FORCE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCES MAY INCREASE RELATIVE TO A CUSTOMER'S EXPECTATION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REWRITE THE PROGRAMMING OF THE ABS CONTROL UNIT FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 3, 2010, AND IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN LATE MARCH 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331 AND LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.
