We just pick up this car last week from the dealership here at San Antonio. TX. As we were driving there is a downpour/rain due to hurricane beryl, turn on the wiper and did not work, just got stuck in the middle of the windshield. i almost got hit on the road because i can see in front of me. Maybe it is also my fault by not checking this things before i drove off. At this moment the car is back at the dealership and my service advisor says that the motor is defective and they will order the parts.

I have purchased a new Lexus RX 350 2024 from South County Lexus in Mission Viejo in March 2024. Upon completion of the purchase, I was informed that I get only one key for the car as there is a shortage of the keys. I was told that it will take a few months to get a 2nd key. Now it is June 6, 2024. I called the Lexus dealership as well as corporate office. I was informed that I probably will get the key in August 2024. I find it absolutely unacceptable. It creates a safety hazard when a 2nd key is not available.

The contact owns a 2024 Lexus RX450. The contact stated that upon attempting to enter the vehicle, the vehicle failed to unlock with the key fob, prompting the contact to attempt to manually unlock the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to unlock. The contact called Roadside Assistance and was determined that the battery was drained and was able to jumpstart the vehicle after using a Slim Jim to open the door. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was informed that leaving the key near the vehicle would result in inadvertent battery discharge. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,500. The VIN was not available.

The fonts on the instrument panel are too small to read. Do not have this problem on current 2nd car or other cars driven.

Lexus is still not providing 2 key fobs on delivery. They are not listing the 2nd Key Program (23LJ01) as a campaign on their vehicle mobile software. The "digital key" is glitchy and not a safe and secure option - it seems to be a way for Lexus to periodically generate more profit at the expense of customer safety and security.

I started to notice that when in reverse or coming to a brake at low speeds, the brake pedal and car starts to vibrate/stutter. I have driven hybrids for the last 5 years and never had this issue before. It is very strange that the car vibrates when coming to a stop and it is on going. It happens and then it stops, but always starts up again.

Automatic Emergency Braking 6 times on a new car has violently and suddenly engaged at low speeds. Twice in the middle of the street with no obstacles near by.

The contact owns a 2024 Lexus RX350H. The contact stated that while the vehicle was started, the Forward Collision Avoidance system and air bag warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for 17 days, where it was diagnosed that a software update was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was informed that there was no fix for the failure. The failure mileage was 1,020.
