What owners say
Verbatim reports filed with the United States safety regulator (NHTSA) by owners of this exact model year. Public record.
I have tried to get Stevenson Lexus in Lakewood Colorado to replace the head rests , they have not ever had the parts to complete the recall. I have been waiting for over a year. I called Lexus headquarters in Texas and was told that there is a remedy but Stevenson Lexus has never offered that to me.
The sunroof exploded spontaneously while driving on major road at 65 MPH, nothing hit it and no other vehicle around. No abnormal weather conditions. No warning just a burst into air. Remaining glass fell into vehicle when I opened shade.
When in cruise, the car will merge itself into the next lane if you hold the turn signal partially. If you keep holding it or fully engage the turn signal (maybe you forgot to turn off you signal, or held it too long), the car will merge through the solid white line off the road into a ditch. This happened to me once, and I noticed it trying several other times.
