MY 2011 LEXUS RX350 HAS RUBBER OIL COOLER HOSE AND LEXUS USA WILL NOT REPLACE THE PRESSURIZED RUBBER HOSE DESPITE KNOWN INCIDENTS OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE PART. ON SOME RX350 MODELS, LEXUS HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REPLACEMENT IN CASE THE PART IS LEAKING OIL, BUT I WAS TOLD BY LEXUS THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. BUT EVEN IF I HAD THE WARRANTY, LEXUS WILL NOT PREEMPTIVELY REPLACE THE PART, DESPITE 1) SAFETY CONCERN OF FAILURE ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS AND FIRE HAZARD RISK, 2) POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AS THE LINE WOULD RUPTURE AND ALL OIL WOULD BE LOST WITHIN SECONDS AND ENGINE WOULD SEIZE AND 3) POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE OF LOSS 6.4 QUARTS OF OIL OVER ROADWAYS. PLEASE CONSIDER ADVISING LEXUS TO DO A SAFETY RECALL ON ALL RUBBER OIL COOLER HOSE PARTS. THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON GEORGIA 400 MERGING ONTO 85 SOUTH WHEN I SAW CARS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED ME BRAKES - TO NO AVAIL. MY CAR KEPT GOING. I RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CREATING A FOUR CAR WRECK. I LATER LEARNED FROM A MARKET VALUATION REPORT THAT: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 LEXUS RX350 PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 30, 2010, THROUGH MAY 18, 2011, AND EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE DYNAMICS INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT (VDIM). THE CALIBRATION FOR THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVES IS INCORRECT. DUE TO THIS CONDITION, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL MAY NOT BE CONTROLLED PROPERLY DURING ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) OR VSC (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL) ACTUATION. THIS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND/OR A FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY CORRECT A VEHICLE SLIDE, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE ACTUATOR WITH A NEW ONE, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331. I WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL, I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR EVERY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, AT THIS TIME, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON INJURED IN THE CRASH. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED IN MY CAR; THUS, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT. *TR

WE WERE STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT IN A LEFT TURN LANE. AT 9;30 AT NIGHT THE LIGHT IS SLOW TO CHANGE. IN ABOUT 2 MINUTES IT TURNED GREEN. I COULD SEE CARS STOPPING IN THE LANES. I PULLED OUT ONLY TO BE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE FRONT END. FHP ESTIMATED HIS SPEED AT 50MPH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. OUR SEAT BELTS NEVER GAVE AN INCH IN THE CRASH, KEEPING US BACK AGAINST THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE IMPACT CRUSHED ITEMS BACK TO THE FIRE WALL. ON THE LEFT SIDE(SITTING IN THE VEHICLE) WHERE THE BATTERY SITS, THE POLICE, NOR THE IMS COULD UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WAS THE CRASH SO HARD AND FIERCE, THE SYSTEM WAS BYPASSED SOMEHOW? THE INJURIES WE SUFFERED WERE SEVERE CHEST PAIN FROM THE SEAT BELT AND MY RIGHT HAND JAMMED INTO SOMETHING, BREAKING SMALL BLOOD VESSELS AND SWELLING. THIS IS MARCH 16 AND I AM STILL EXPERIENCING DISCOMFORT IN THE HAND. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CAR, IT IS A SMALL MIRACLE WE DID NOT RECEIVE GREATER INJURIES. WE THANK OUR GOD AND HIS SON, JESUS, FOR THAT. YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR HAT OFF TO THOSE SEAT BELTS, TOO. CAN SOMEONE COME UP WITH A GOOD REASON THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT WORK. I HAVE SEVERAL PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE. I CANNOT FIND THE VIN NUMBER. *TR
