THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LEXUS RX 350. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP, DURING THE (GEAR) SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT / CRASHED ON TO A BUILDING AND SPUN OFF, AND THE IMPACT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL FOR ABOUT 15 FEET AND STOPPED. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO INJURIES TO ANYONE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND LATER TO DEALERSHIP'S COLLISION SHOP. APPROXIMATE ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR IS $21,000. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED THROUGH THE EMAIL OPTION IN LEXUS CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,500. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE OR SOME INTERNAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. BECAUSE, WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND MY (DRIVER) FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2014 Lexus RX 350 verdict →
