2010 Lexus RX350

OIL HOSE LEAK. OIL PIPE WHICH CONNECTS TO THE ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE HOSE WILL LEAK AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ADVISED THAT THE OIL IS LOW. "A SERVICE BULLETIN" WENT OUT TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC HOSE TO METAL. WHEN YOU TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TRY TO TELL YOU ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT AN ENGINE NOT RECEIVING OIL AND YOUR TRUCK JUST BREAKING DOWN IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE STEERING COLUMN RATTLES WHENEVER YOU GO OVER A BUMP. IT SHAKES AND MAKES A LOUDER CLINGING NOISE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURENCE. THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGED ISSUE BUT CLAIMS IT HAS BEEN FIXED ONCE. SAME PROBLEM REOCCURS AGAIN. CLEARLY A DEFFECTIVE PART. MANUFACTURER OFFERED A REPLACEMANT PART BUT REFUSE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLATION COST. I OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF THE INSTALLATION COST. MANUFACTURER REFUSED MY OFFER. SENT AN APPEAL LETTER OF RECONSIDERATION TWICE BUT WAS REJECTED. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING / DEFECTIVE PART PROBLEM. REGARDLESS OF HOW OLD OR HOW MANY MILES THE VEHICLE HAS. IF SOMETHING IS FIXED ONCE AND SAME PROBLEM REOCCURS AGAIN, THEN IT'S NOT FIXED. CONCERN OF MY FAMILY SAFETY AND VERY DISTURBED ABOUT THE MANUFACTURERS ATTITUDE. PLEASE KINDLY HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LEXUS RX350. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (CHARLES BARKER LEXUS VIRGINIA BEACH, 3909 VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA 23452), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED AN INVESTIGATOR TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CONTACT ANYONE CONCERNING THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

MY CAR STARTED LEAKING OIL ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE GARAGE, AS SOON AS I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAID FRONT OIL COOLER HOSES WERE LEAKING AND THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST. DEALER ASKED LEXUS TO RECALL AND WERE REFUSED. THIS DEFECT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET SINCE THE COMPANY USED RUBBER HOSE INSTEAD OF METAL WHICH THEY USED TO USE AND SHOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO USE. THE PART WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT MY DRIVEWAY AND GARAGE FLOOR ARE RUINED. THE COMPANY 1-800 NUMBER SERVICE PERSON WAS RUDE. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THIS PART WAS A PROBLEM. OTHER DRIVERS ARE BEING STRANDED ON ROADWAYS AND THEIR ENGINES ARE BLOWING UP. PLEASE HELP. THIS NEEDS A CLASS ACTION SUIT OR A FORCED RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. STARTED CAR IN THE MORNING DROVE IT TO WORK DIDN'T SMELL ANYTHING IT WAS ABOUT 34MILES ALL HIGHWAY.PARKED THE CAR ( THE CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION AT THE TIME)WENT OUT IN 15 MIN AND THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS ON FIRE.

WHILE SLOWLY PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE LOCAL POST OFFICE, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATED FORWARD WITH ENGINE REAVING. CAR SHOT FORWARD GOING OVER CONCRETE CAR STOPS TOWARD A CREEK AND SMASHED INTO A STAND OF TREES. DRIVER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. COMPLETE FRONT OF VEHICLE INCLUDING HOOD AND WINDSHIELD WERE SMASHED AND DRIVEN INTO ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A CASE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING.

THE FLOOR MAT WAS SECURELY IN PLACE AND HAD NOT MOVED AND THE DRIVER INSISTS HER FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PETAL AT ALL TIMES. THERE WERE NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN OR AROUND THE ACCELERATOR PETAL OR THE BRAKE.
