Substantial Fire Hazard - Fuel was leaking directly onto the engine due to a failure in the fuel line and the factory coating between the inner steel tubing and a plastic coating. The failure relates to the delaminating of the coating from the base metal material which causes a channel for the fuels to bypass the seals and then leak out of fracture points in the plastic coating.

WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE HARD AND CONTINUALLY THERE IS A NOISE (THUMP). MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN THE CAR IN WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR 3X'S AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL ON THE FRONT BRAKES. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THAT ANSWER. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IS THIS NORMAL FOR THE CAR I BOUGHT. IS IT SAFE. THE CAR IS BEAUTIFUL AND TO DRIVE AROUND AND HEAR A NOICE WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR. I HAVE AN AUDIO OF THE SOUND I'M HEARING WHILE BREAKING. AND A VIDEO OF THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THIS WAS ACCEPTABLE NORMAL. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 10-29-2019.
I KEEP ASKING THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS AND THEY KEEP ANSWERING THAT THEY WILL CALL ME AS SOON AS THEY RECEIVE THE PARTS. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR THE LAST 30 DAYS. THERE IS NO INCIDENT INVOLVED BUT THE SOUTH FLORIDA LEXUS DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PUMPS AVAILABLE
TAKATA AIR BAG HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED SINCE PURCHASING. CONSTANT BRAKES VIBRATIONS FEEL AT STEERING WHEEL. SOMETIMES ITS ALMOST DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE DRIVING .DEALERS ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT AND HAVE NO SOLUTION. I HAVE VISITED NEWPORT LEXUS AND LEXUS OF EL CAJON MULTI TIMES BUT THEY ARE NOT FIX MY BRAKES.AIR BAGS ARE NOT AVAIALBLE
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 LEXUS RC F. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V107000(FUEL SYSTEM) IN APRIL OF 2018. AFTER CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER AND THE LOCAL DEALER (LEXUS OF SEATTLE, 20300 HWY 99, LYNNWOOD, WA), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE DEFECT WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VENTILATED SEATS ON THE CAR. WHEN YOU TURN ON THE VENTILATED SEATING FUNCTION THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT BLOWS COLD AIR, BUT AN UPPER BAND (SHOULDER BLADE HEIGHT) ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT HEATS UP DRAMATICALLY. ONCE YOU ENGAGE THE FUNCTION A BAND OF THE BACK OF THE SEAT HEATS UP JUST LIKE A HEATING ELEMENT WOULD HEAT UP. IT'S INSTANT AND IT GETS VERY HOT! I TURN IT OFF FOR FEAR BOTH COMFORT AND FOR FEAR THAT SOMETHING WILL BURN.
WHEN USING THE VENTILATED SEATS THE UPPER PART OF THE SEAT HEATS UP (BETWEEN MY SHOULD BLADES). IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T HEAT UP AND OTHER TIMES IT DOES. WHEN IT DOES HEAT UP IT GETS SO HOT THAT I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VENTILATED SEATS. IT IS NOT AMBIENT OR TRAPPED HOT AIR BECAUSE I OFTEN START MY CAR USING THE LEXUS REMOTE TO START MY CAR AND LET IT RUN FOR 5-8 MINUTES SO MY VEHICLE CAN COOL DOWN (AND WARM UP) BEFORE I GET IN AND START DRIVING IT.
INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATES MAKING IT HARD TO VIEW OBJECTS IN REAR OF VEHICLE.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
