Driving car experienced a loud thump. Lost all engine power. Pulled to side of road. Had a hybrid system unavailable warning. Called a tow. Checked oil level to find it below the low mark. Car left a huge puddle of oil when loaded. Got to dealership. They found a hole in the engine block. Engine seized. Looms like it was the rod for the first cylinder. This issue sounds like what was the 2020 model years recall. My car had 128k on it all maintenance was completed on time, at the dealership. I regularly check oil level, and it was within normal range.

I bought a 2019 Lexus ES350 F Sport in October 2023 with 41,000 miles. Almost a year later to the day I went to a touchless car wash and now have excessive condensation in both headlights. Lexus shows these lights at $2500 a piece, plus labor to install. With modest investigating for a remedy I see I’m not alone in this predicament. Due to high cost of replacement I believe this warrants looking into whether it should be a recall or at least a safety bulletin as moisture in an electric environment will quickly become a major issue.

The DCM malfunctioning, its the SOS button in the car that call Lexus personnel in case of emergency. Its stuck in a loop and keeps calling the call center every 3 minutes or so. I've had to tell them it's not me and they report the malfunction and it call the next representative and same thing. It called the call center 15 times as I was driving (extremally distracting and almost ran a red) before getting to the dealership. I've seen the same complaint on a Lexus forum to a person in Florida.

Which component or system experienced a failure or malfunction, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Pre-collagen system and emergency braking system failed. These components are available for inspection upon request at the dealership where the car has been undergoing manufacturer inspection since June 8th, 2023. How was safety compromised for you or others? While driving on the highway, the vehicle experienced Unintended Braking, causing it to swerve and spin across three lanes before crashing into the median, putting both my safety and the safety of others at risk. Has the issue been verified or confirmed by a dealer or an independent service center? The vehicle has been at the dealership for manufacturer inspection for 8 weeks, but there has been no response regarding the inspection results, thus the issue has not been confirmed yet. Has the vehicle or component undergone inspection by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or other parties? Yes, the manufacturer has conducted an inspection of the vehicle. Were there any warning signs, messages, or symptoms of the problem before the failure, and when did they first manifest? No, there were no prior warning lamps, messages, or indications of any malfunction in the system before the accident. The issue first occurred at the time of the accident.

The first incident occurred sometime in late June/early July...indicator lights mentioned below came on and I cleaned off sensors and indicator lamps disappeared on this occurrence. On July 13 2022, I was driving on a busy local road when the following malfunction indicators were displayed: brake system warning, 'check' engine malfunction indicator lamp, electric power steering system warning, parking support brake system, and pre-collision system. As these indicators were displayed, simultaneously the vehicle decelerated to an almost complete stop on the road (though I was pressing gas pedal to floor) and then to a complete stop as I was able to blessedly pull over to a gas station without getting hit (the car sounded like putt, putt as it shut down). The vehicle would not start even though I cleaned off the sensors this time...I sat for about 15-30 minutes and the vehicle restarted and resume normal operations until I was able to get home safely. This happened again on 15 July 2022 while I was driving on I-75N, a truly busy interstate, I was switching lanes to get to the far right lane when all of a sudden, the aforementioned indicator lamps displayed and the vehicle decelerated to a complete stop as I was able to pull over onto the shoulder of the highway...I believe since I had a family member following me, that definitely kept an accident from occurring along with the oversight of the good Lord. While we sat and waited for tow services, I tried wiping the sensors to no avail...yet, upon 30 minutes of waiting, the vehicle restarted and resumed normal operations. I drove vehicle to an auto shop in which they did a vehicle diagnostics check and couldn't find anything wrong...they even drove vehicle to see if problem would reoccur but to no avail.

I leased a 2019 Lexus ES300H in March of 2019. About 1 year later, the vehicle started having serious mechanical issues related to the power of the vehicle and put my life in danger on 3 different occasions. The vehicle has a serious problem with losing power. The very first time that this problem occurred, I was in the left only lane attempting to make a left turn. When it was safe to do so and there was enough distance between me and the nearest vehicle driving in the opposite direction, I pressed on the accelerator to make a left turn and my vehicle suddenly lost almost complete power. I had the accelerator pressed all the way to the floor and the vehicle was barely moving like 3-5 miles per hour. Me and the other vehicle that was coming kind of fast in the opposite direction almost got into a head on collision. I would have very easily and safely, without even rushing, cleared the intersection and completed the left turn had this not happened. After collecting myself from the terrifying experience I just went through and having my life flash before my eyes, pulled over and called Lexus Roadside. They came and towed the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer kept the vehicle for some time, but was not able to duplicate the problem and told me that there is nothing with the vehicle. Regardless of how much I insisted that they do further tests, they refused and told me that the mechanic he driven it home at night and back in the morning and could not duplicate the issue and that if I didn't come to pick up the vehicle, they would park it on the street where it would be subject to tow. After picking it up and literally after about 20 minutes of driving it, almost the same thing happened while I was on the freeway on my way home. The vehicle lost power again and I almost got into an accident. A similar incident occurred the third time. Took the vehicle to service 3 times. Brand engagement has not done a single thing. Lemon Law Department denied the case. Been paying.

They do not know when the parts will be arriving. The letter they sent stated "If a vehicle stall occurs while driving, this could increase the risk of a crash".

ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION: TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-95 JUST PAST THE 895 SPLIT. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH A SPEED OF 60-65 MPH. THE CAR STARTED TO DRIFT LEFT QUICKLY. THERE WAS NO VIBRATION WARNING THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL INDICATING LANE DEPARTURE. I WAS RAPIDLY MOVING TOWARD THE CONCRETE BASE OF THE MORAVIA ROAD OVERPASS. THE STEERING WAS TIGHT. I ATTEMPT TO BRAKE AND STEER RIGHT BUT NOTHING SEEMED TO WORK. THE AUTOBRAKE WAS ON BUT DID NOT APPLY AND I HIT THE CONCRETE BASE OF THE WALL ON THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE LEXUS. I DID SEVERAL 360'S AND LANDED AGAINST THE JERSEY WALL IN REVERSE DIRECTION OF THE TRAFFIC. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY WINDOW UP/DOWN AND THE DOOR DID OPEN. I REMAINED IN PLACE WITH MY SEAT BELT STILL ON UNTIL OFFICE SMITH ARRIVED. HE RECORDED THE INCIDENT. IN SUMMARY, I BELIEVE THE LOW PRECURE FUEL PUMP STOPPED OPERATING CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AT HIGH SPEED AND WAS THUS THE SOURCE OF THE CRASH.

SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCT 2019, THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I AM ON LOCAL ROADS (SPEED <50MPH), WHEN I SLOWDOWN PER THE TRAFFIC FLOW, OR TAKING TURN (LEFT OR RIGHT) AFTER YIELDING, THE CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AS IF THE GAS PEDAL DIED ON ME AND THEN I PUSH THE PEDAL FURTHER DOWN ONLY TO GET THE CAR DOWNSHIFT DRASTICALLY AND REVVING UP TO ALMOST ALWAYS ABOUT THE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT (IF ANY) OF ME. IN THE FEW TIMES I AM ON HIGHWAY, WHEN I NEED TO SPEED UP TO CHANGE THE LANE THE CAR ACCELERATES UNPREDICTABLY MAKING THE DRIVING A SCARY EXPERIENCE.

DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST, 2020, ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE THE CAR WAS IN GEAR (REVERSE OR DRIVE), WHEN PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WOULD NOT "GO". IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT IT WAS NOT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TURNING AROUND IN A NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, IT REVVED LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT THE R WAS ON THE DASH AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN R. I THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE SAME THING. THE ONLY WAY I GOT THE CAR TO GO WAS TO PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF & THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THE 2ND TIME, I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN RIGHT ON RED. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND I STARTED TO MAKE MY TURN BUT AGAIN, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO - IT WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. WE CHECKED FOR ANY ERROR LIGHTS/MESSAGES (THERE WERE NONE) AND WE LOOKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS IN GEAR AND THE D WAS 100% ON THE DASH AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN DRIVE. AGAIN, THE ONLY WAY TO GET GOING WAS TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND THEN START THE CAR AGAIN. THIS 2ND TIME, I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED AND IF THE LIGHT HAD NOT TURNED RED FOR THE CROSS TRAFFIC, I WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY BEEN HIT. THE DEALER TOOK THE CAR BOTH TIMES, RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND EVEN DOWNLOADED THE BLACK BOX DATA; HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE, THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. THEY ALSO CONTACTED LEXUS "EXPERTS" AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. ATTACHED IS MORE DETAIL I GAVE TO THE DEALER WHEN THEY ASKED ME TO JOT DOWN EVERYTHING I COULD REMEMBER.
