2015 Lexus ES350

Defect. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Avalon and Avalon Hybrid vehicles manufactured October 19, 2012 to October 27, 2015 and 2013-2015 Lexus ES350 and ES300h vehicles manufactured June 18, 2012 to July 6, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with a Pre-Collision System (PCS) as optional equipment. In these vehicles, the PCS may unexpectedly activate and apply the brakes when the radar detects a steel joint or plate in the roadway as an object.

Risk. A vehicle that unexpectedly brakes increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace certain PCS components, free of charge. The recall began on July 28, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's numbers for this campaign are F1V and F2E.

TAKAT RECALL

THREE MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, AND LOTS OF MINOR ONES. 1. THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE WHILE SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC. HITTING THE BRAKES CAUSED THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD. 2. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMED TO TURN OFF AND ALL INTERNAL/EXTERNAL LIGHTS WENT OFF AT NIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD. 3. THE CAR SLIPS AND THE SYSTEMS TO COUNTERACT SLIPPING DID NOT ENGAGE. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE NAVIGATION, THE ENFORM SYSTEM AND MANY OTHER ISSUES. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH LEXUS HAVE MET WITH NO SUCCESS.

I WAS PULLING INTO MY GARAGE SLOWLY, BRAKING TO STOP, WHEN THE CAN ACCELERATED. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REV AND I PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE CAR TRAVELED ABOUT 4 FEET BEFORE IT CAME TO A STOP. I REPORTED TO LEXUS WHO TURNED OVER TO 'LEGAL' AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A WEEK FOR AN INVESTIGATOR TO CONTACT ME TO LOOK AT THE CAR, AFTER WHICH THEY SAY IT WILL BE ANOTHER 30 DAYS FOR A FINDING. THE PAPERWORK I FILLED OUT TERMED THIS AS 'UNINTENDED ACCELERATION". THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW AND HAVE HAD FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE RADAR CRUISE ENGAGED, WE WERE APPROACHING A SLOWER CAR , ANOTHER CAR WAS IN THE INSIDE LANE ADJACENT TO US AND BEFORE WE COULD DISENGAGE THE CRUISE OUR LEXUS ES350 BRAKED FORCEFULLY AND THE CAR FOLLOWING HAD TO BRAKE TO AVOID A COLLISION...THIS IS FIRST HAND INFORMATION WITH NO DOCUMENTATION....WE HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WERE ON OUR WAY HOME....THERE ARE 3 DISTANCE SETTINGS FOR THE RADAR CRUISE AND I AM NOT SURE WHICH ONE WAS ACTIVE SINCE I HAD NO EXPERIENCE WITH IT....THIS RADAR CRUISE SYSTEM IS THE DEFAULT SYSTEM WHICH CAN BE DEACTIVATED EACH TIME THE CRUISE IS TURNED ON ....IT IS A PACKAGE WITH THE PRE COLLISION SYSTEM WHICH WAS RECALLED ON NOV 3 2015 FOR SUDDEN BRAKING....

AFTER STARTING ENGINE WE BEGAN TO HEAR CRACKLING NOISES SIMILAR TO ELECTRICAL SOUNDS. THIS PERSISTED FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. WE VISITED OUR DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. THE CRACKLING NOISES WOULD ONLY BE EVIDENT FOR A SHORT TIME AFTER THIS. NOW WE ARE HEARING THESE NOISES LOUDER AND MORE OFTEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER WE HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE OR NOT, HOWEVER WE FEEL UNSAFE. WE NOTIFIED LEXUS AND ARE WAITING FOR A RESPONSE.
