NHTSA Complaint #11402986 — 2021 LEXUS ES350

WHEN I OPENED MY VEHICLE DOOR AT NIGHT AND EXITING MY VEHICLE THE VEHICLE DOOR DOES NOT PROVIDE A VISUAL WARNING TO OTHER VEHICLE DRIVERS IN THE PATH OF MY 2021 LEXUS ES 350. I DID AN INVESTIGATION AND FOUND THAT ALL OPENING DOORS ON ALL 17 MILLION VEHICLE DOORS DO NOT PROVIDE AN ADDED ZONE OF ILLUMINATION THAT IS AUTOMATICALLY ILLUMINATED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE DRIVERS HEADLIGHT TO ALLOW ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE TO OCCUR. I PETITIONED NHTSA AND RECEIVED NO REPLY TO MY "FIX" TO MAKE POSSIBLE A NEW FMVSS 108 TO SOLVE THIS CONTRIBUTORY CAUSE OF OPENED VEHICLE DOOR PEDESTRIAN DEATHS. THE APPLICATION TO ADD A ZONE OF ILLUMINATION IS UNIVERSAL IN APPLICATION TO ALL VEHICLE DOORS, AND TAKES ABOUT 10 SECONDS TO APPLY REQUIRING NO TOOLS. I WISH NHTSA TO TAKE A POSITION THAT ALL VEHICLE DRIVERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE OPENED VEHICLE DOORS AT NIGHT TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF OPENED VEHICLE DOOR COLLISIONS AND OPENED VEHICLE DOOR PEDESTRIAN DEATHS AND TO PROVIDE A SAFETY WARNING NOTICE TO ALL VEHICLE OWNERS THE FOLLOWING. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY VISUAL OBSERVATION AT NIGHT OPENING THE VEHICLE DOORS ON ALL VEHICLES DO NOT PROVIDE A VISUAL ZONE OF ILLUMINATION WARNING TO OTHER VEHICLE DRIVERS AT NIGHT THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A OPENED VEHICLE DOOR PEDESTRIAN FATALITY.
