What 10 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Lexus Rc F

Substantial Fire Hazard - Fuel was leaking directly onto the engine due to a failure in the fuel line and the factory coating between the inner steel tubing and a plastic coating. The failure relates to the delaminating of the coating from the base metal material which causes a channel for the fuels to bypass the seals and then leak out of fracture points in the plastic coating.

WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE HARD AND CONTINUALLY THERE IS A NOISE (THUMP). MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN THE CAR IN WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR 3X'S AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL ON THE FRONT BRAKES. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THAT ANSWER. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IS THIS NORMAL FOR THE CAR I BOUGHT. IS IT SAFE. THE CAR IS BEAUTIFUL AND TO DRIVE AROUND AND HEAR A NOICE WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR. I HAVE AN AUDIO OF THE SOUND I'M HEARING WHILE BREAKING. AND A VIDEO OF THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THIS WAS ACCEPTABLE NORMAL. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 10-29-2019.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VENTILATED SEATS ON THE CAR. WHEN YOU TURN ON THE VENTILATED SEATING FUNCTION THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT BLOWS COLD AIR, BUT AN UPPER BAND (SHOULDER BLADE HEIGHT) ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT HEATS UP DRAMATICALLY. ONCE YOU ENGAGE THE FUNCTION A BAND OF THE BACK OF THE SEAT HEATS UP JUST LIKE A HEATING ELEMENT WOULD HEAT UP. IT'S INSTANT AND IT GETS VERY HOT! I TURN IT OFF FOR FEAR BOTH COMFORT AND FOR FEAR THAT SOMETHING WILL BURN.

WHEN USING THE VENTILATED SEATS THE UPPER PART OF THE SEAT HEATS UP (BETWEEN MY SHOULD BLADES). IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T HEAT UP AND OTHER TIMES IT DOES. WHEN IT DOES HEAT UP IT GETS SO HOT THAT I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VENTILATED SEATS. IT IS NOT AMBIENT OR TRAPPED HOT AIR BECAUSE I OFTEN START MY CAR USING THE LEXUS REMOTE TO START MY CAR AND LET IT RUN FOR 5-8 MINUTES SO MY VEHICLE CAN COOL DOWN (AND WARM UP) BEFORE I GET IN AND START DRIVING IT.
