While driving, sometimes, 'door open' icon shows right front door open and all doors unlock, even though the doors are properly locked. I stop the car, re-close the right front door and move on. It happens often. First I noticed in june 2015. Took the car for repair at lexus. Problem persists.

Exterior lights on low beam intermittently go off, first one side then sometimes the other, I was once traveling on the interstate at night 70 MPH and they both went out. Once I pulled over and turned them on and off several times they came back on and about 10 miles down the road the right one went out again. This has been going on for about 6 months. My mechanic replaced the bulbs and checked fuses. It's still happening. Oddly, when the headlight goes out the indicator light on the dash doesn't light up either. Sometimes I'd drove the car into work and someone would say I have a headlight out and I'd take it to my mechanic (which happened more than I can say) and they would be fine, until the next time. This is a serious safety issue and I'm not sure if my car will pass the annual inspection. There's only 81,000 miles.

When turning, the 'door open' light comes on and all four doors unlock. This has been happening for about 2 weeks. Before this, only light will come.

I was driving and pulled up next to another car as I pulled off the highway, when the driver motioned to me for directions I immediately tried to rolled the window down to speak to rge person. The passenger side window makes a popping sound and sounds like it jumps out of the track. This prevent opening and closing the window. I just purchased the car from jm lexus and now told. Have to pay over $800 to repair it. I had a bad experience with the salesman when we made the purchase which made me swear off purchasing another vehicle through them or even recommendibg them. This is my third purchase through them I should have listened to my instinct. . I parked my car in parking garage or on the street. When I return I noticed the interior dash melts and peels when the temperature raises.

Oil dumped out crossing a very long bridge & engine froze up/steering hard to control...due to a defective vvti_oil hose rupturing..both lexus & toyota were aware of this problem & had issued a "limited service campaign" that ended on march 31, 2013..both refused to fix my car that with rental cars, cost me aprox. $7,000.00..this was a rubber hose, that both mfgs. Knew about and both co.continued to replace these faulty hoses, with another "rubber hose", even tho' there was & still is a metal hose that is recommended!! I had posted this problem with ya'll, shortly after, but, do not find records of.. But, approx. 2 weeks ago, I received a notification from lexus stating," they had decided to re-open this "limited service campaign" to extend to dec. 31, 2021..a day too late & alot of $$$$& time spent..even tho' lexus said they would consider reimbursement on cars, like mine that already had been repaired. Lexus is only doing this, again, because I am 100% sure that all the many many lexus & toyota car owners that had their hoses replaced back in 2013 and prior are now experiencing what I had to go thru: engine died, almost ran off the bridge and spent weeks without a car..had to rent. I ask for you to please go back and research this faulty vvti_oil hose on both lexus & toyata cars..there are thousands, especially with toyota!!! All you have to do is google vvti-oil hose and you will see.. Thank you in advance!!

While driving down the road at varying speeds I have noticed that the outside mirrors on my car change position without any input on the switch. During the week or so prior to the first time that this occurred, I had noticed that when returning to the car after leaving it parked overnight that the mirrors, selecting the memory switch would return the seat and mirrors to their preset position. However this has now progressed to where the mirrors will change position while the vehicle is in motion. The driver's mirror will not change position dramatically, however the passenger side mirror will frequently tilt up to nearly the full extent of its' travel and without any warning or input from the driver. This has LED to several occasions where a quick glance, especially at night, did not show an obstruction on the passenger side of the car and nearly LED to an accident. Pressing the memory recall button numerous times will eventually bring the mirror back to the set memory position. This is a safety hazard and I would like my vehicle to be repaired.
