The contact owns a 2023 Lexus RX 350H. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, when a vehicle on the shoulder, to the right suddenly began to cross in front of their vehicle to get to the median. This caused the contact's vehicle to T-bone the corner of their vehicle. The front passenger side fender had been damaged causing the door to no longer open. No air bags deployed. There were no injuries and no medical attention was needed. A police report was filed. The vehicle was able to be driven from the crash. The vehicle had not been taken for diagnosis or repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.
