VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION HAD A DRIVER SIDE HIT, REALLY BAD AND REALLY HARD AND THE BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY

THE LATCH COVERING DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG FALLS OFF REPEATEDLY, LEADING TO CONCERN THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THAT AREA THAT COULD AFFECT THE AIR BAG ITSELF. CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST A HALF-DOZEN TIMES FOR REPAIR WITHOUT ACTUALLY GETTING A LASTING REPAIR. FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH LEXUS THREE WEEKS AGO, THEY PROMISED TO GET BACK WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS, THEY DID NOT, AND WHEN I PHONED TODAY, THEY CONTINUE TO STALL. NO FIX. NO RESOLUTION. THE DATE NOTED BELOW, OCT. 1, IS MERELY ONE OF THE DATES OF THE ISSUE, WHICH IS ONGOING AND HAS BEEN ONGOING ALL YEAR.

I WAS DRIVING AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY INDICATOR LIGHT SAID LOW VOLTAGE STEERING. I WAITED A COUPLE OF DAYS TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED AND THE SERVICE GUY WROTE UP THE ORDER. I GAVE THE SERVICE GUY MY KEYS AND NOTICED HE NEVER MOVED THE CAR, I QUESTIONED HIM AS TO WHY AND HE SAID THE CAR WON'T START. I REPLIED TO HIS STATEMENT AND SAID HOW IS THAT I JUST CUT IT OFF. THE SERVICE GUY HAD A TECH TEST THE BATTERY AND COULDN'T READ IT BECAUSE THE VOLTAGE WAS EXTREMELY LOW.

ENGINE STALLS AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. CAR WILL CREEP OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION, THEN WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. THIS LEAVES ME VULNERABLE TO BEING HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. CAN HAPPEN WHEN I AM GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE OR TURNING. HAPPENS OFTEN, BUT NOT ALWAYS.

after I get gas my car wont start. This has been happening for about 9 months. It takes about 10 mins for the car to turn on. Yesterday after I got gas and was driving, my car completely shut off in the middle of the freeway- thought I was going to die. VERY dangerous. Took my car to lexus back in may to be fixed and the issue was NOT fixed. They put new gas in my car and told me that was the issue... was not.

VENTILATED SEATS WHEN SELECT TO BE COLD THE BOTTOM PART ON BOTH IS COLD BUT THE BACK PART BECOME REALLY HOT ON BOTH SEAT WITH NO REASON

On October 22, 2022 while driving on the freeway at 55 MPH my front driver side tire lost all pressure rapidly. Luckily, I had run flat tires that prevented a dangerous incident to myself and fellow drivers. I took my car to a local tire shop, and they identified extreme inner wear of the tire that ripped through the sidewall. This similar damage happened once before. I have replaced two sets of tires in under 30,000 miles. Based on an online search I have found that this issue is widespread to Lexus owners. Here is one forum discussing the issue: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-3rd-gen-2014-present/940025-all-about-lexus-is-premature-inner-tire-wear.html. I have contacted Lexus about this, but they would not do anything substantial to address this safety issue. Could the NHTSA investigate this and have Lexus provide a fix?

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING. THEY SAY CAUSE TIRE WAS WEARING NEED ALIGNMENT. BOUGHT THE CAR PREOWNED APRIL 2019 AND THIS HAPPEN NOVEMBER 2019. REPLACED TIRES IN NOVEMBER 2019 AND ALIGNMENT. TIRES ARE WEARING IN THE INNER AGAIN SINCE MARCH 2020. LEXUS SAID THE MANUFACTURER MADE THESE IS CARS A CERTAIN WAY THAT THE TIRES WILL ALWAYS WEAR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT A TIRE CAN'T HANDLE THE SUSPENSION PERFORMANCE OF THIS MODEL CAR FOR ONLY COUPLE MONTHS AND THAN YOUR TIRE BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING DUE TO HAVING TO REPLACE THEM EVERY 5-6 MONTHS. CUSTOMERS WERE NOT MADE KNOWN OF THESE WITH MODELS AS OLD AS MINE 2015.
