HELLO, I OWN A 2007 LEXUS 400H. ON AUG 11, 2015 APPROXIMATELY 10PM THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON HWY 17 SOUTH IN MYRTLE BEACH SC. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING AT A GREEN LIGHT IN THE TURNING WAITING FOR ON COMING TRAFFIC. WHEN THE TRAFFIC CLEARED MY WIFE PROCEED TO PROCEED FROWARD WITH THE TURN. ONCE SHE STARTED HER DECENT THE VEHICLE STARTED BLOWING COOLANT OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND FROM THE BOTTOM. THE VEHICLE STOPPED RESPONDING LEAVING HER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. I HAVE LOOKED UP ONLINE THAT LEXUS RECALLED 2006 AND 2007 LEXUS RX400H VEHICLES. WHEN I CALLED TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THIS ISSUES IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THEY DESCRIBE ON THEIR WEBSITE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN LEXUS.

THE BLACK MOLDING ON PART# 84840G 8484021010 - SWITCH ASSEMBLY BACK DOOR OPENER IS EXTREMELY SOFT AND STICKY. EVERY TIME WE PUT OUR HANDS ON IT TO MANUALLY OPEN THE REAR LIFT, BLACK STICKY SUBSTANCES GET ON THE FINGERS, WHICH ARE USED TO OPEN IT. THAT PART IS SHIELDED SOMEWHAT BY THE BODY. IT WAS STICKY EVEN DURING COLD MONTHS HERE IN KANSAS AND IS STICKY AS WELL DURING THIS SPRING AND BEGINNING OF SUMMER. MY CONCERN IS SOMETHING IS GETTING HOT FROM THAT ELECTRICAL PIECE THAT MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE AND HOPEFULLY NOT, BUT POSSIBLE FIRE. THANKING IN ADVANCE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE LEXUS WOODLAND HILLS FIX MY 2007 RX 400H REGARDING AN ISSUE WITH MY ALARM. MY ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY. I HAPPENED TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT WHEN A CLASS I WAS ATTENDING ANNOUNCED OVER THE LOUD SPEAKER THAT A GOLD LEXUS SUV HAD ITS ALARM GOING OFF. I WENT OUT, RESET IT, AND WENT BACK TO CLASS. WHEN THEY GOT ME OUT A SECOND TIME ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR LATER, I JUST LEFT THE CAR UNLOCKED SINCE I WAS IN A SAFE, SECURED LOT. SINCE I AM NOT USUALLY AROUND MY CAR AT THE STORE, MALL, ETC, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY OTHER TIMES IT WENT OFF UNTIL I WAS AT A FUNERAL IN SIMI VALLEY. WHILE WE WERE LEAVING, SOMEONE NOTIFIED ME THAT THE ALARM WAS GOING ON & OFF FOR AN HOUR! I TOOK IT TO WOODLAND HILLS LEXUS WHERE...

REAR HATCH HANDLE/OPENER HAS COMPLETELY MELTED. IT STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, IT WAS JUST A LITTLE STICKY AT FIRST, THEN THE BLACK RUBBER STARTED COMING OFF ON MY FINGERS WHEN I OPENED THE HATCH MANUALLY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY OUT ABOUT THIS AND THAT IT IS ONLY HAPPENING IN FLORIDA. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL AND A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
