2015 LEXUS CT — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

For several years now, I have been experiencing incidents where someone and/or a group is hacking into my radio and/or satellite radio systems and trying to lure me into conversation, make comments, or actually sing to whatever it is I'm listening to. Most incidents have been reported to the NHTSA, which they have been filing. Please know that sometimes the "noise is constant", as well as it appears that someone is actually connecting to my vehicle because I can feel it (also reported). I also hear people speaking from the outside of my vehicle (usually the front end on both sides). It has become a distraction at times, which poses risk to not only myself but other drivers as you can imagine. What can be done to mitigate someone attaching to my vehicle? I am also under the impression that they are recording me or using me as podcast material, which is against the law in various states to varying degrees and without my authority. Please advise, as it has been ongoing for years. Thank you for your assistance. DATES OF INCIDENTS: Ongoing since late 2018, if not earlier.

Please add to previous filings / communications - thank you. PROBLEM PARTS: Satellite Radio and/or AM-FM Radio; Bluetooth; Speaker System; Unknown Device The parts have not malfunctioned however, there appears to be a person and/or group attaching to my vehicle via several conduits related to any radio input and/or speakers. This has been ongoing for years where I have submitted previous reporting based on hearing voices not directly affiliated with the broadcaster(s); being the victim of Havana Syndrome; Radio-Frequency Assaault; Satellite Terrorism, and other unwanted Amateur Radio broadcasters that may or may not be acting with malintent. I am still hearing information in and outside of my vehicle - some of which are directed against my person. Furthermore, someone is now "connecting to my vehicle" (I can feel hits to both the front and back of my vehicle) while I am sitting in parking lots, rest stops, gas stations, etc. This "connecting to my vehicle" via hard hits became obvious since last week ([XXX]) in Warrendale, PA while I was reviewing my travel plans. After the "hits" I began hearing voices in my car, as well as from externally. The voices and/or broadcasts I am hearing are mainly derogatory, pornographic, and/or threatening in nature and, at times, have caused me to get confused that may or may not become problematical when driving. There are also broadcasts that sound as if they are trying to recruit or lure me into sex trafficking, as they state that I have no money, etc. Lastly, I am being told that I am unloved, have no family, and that my family is somewhere else - that I can have a baby, etc., - that "You are one of us." [sic] Since leaving my father's home ([XXX]), there have also been several incidents of Satellite Terrorism and Havana Syndrome associated with various locations: Erie, PA to Texas to North Carolina, etc. - at every hotel, rest stop, while sitting in my car, etc. I believe someone is trying to abduct me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORM

received CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM 24LE01 NOTIFICATION for issues related to Brake Booster and Brake Booster Pump Assemblies. Indicator lights, such as Master Warning Light (Yellow) and SLOP Indicator (Yellow) have appeared while reversing out of a parking spot when no water puddles are present and moving foward (clear day/road) where the vehicle doesn't catch the gear to move initially. Once braking, the system seems to reset itself and allows for a "normal drive". The experience is intermittent, and not often- the dashboard warning lights come on infrequently and is not consistent. Lexus Dealer/Service Shop advised a charge of $145 to look for diagnostic codes C1391, C1252, C1256, C1253. If they find these codes, then they will check the extended warranty to determine if they will charge you or not under their customer support program which really doesn't tell the car owner one way or another. The service adviser said only a Lexus authorized dealer can check for the diagnostic codes and can't be obtained from a traditional code reader at retail outlets such as Autozone, or OReilly, etc. The issues with the Brake Booster and Brake Booster Pump Assemblies sounds like a critical issue with deadly affects if not looked into. The method of the dealer seems shady to get this looked at and for a price to be passed on to the car owner.
