2014 Lexus ES350 problems

Filed Dec 14, 2021 · Airbags · MO

GM is unable to provide an ETA on a replacement airbag that is under an open safety recall. It has been months since I started contacting my nearest GMC dealer and GM customer support. It is unacceptable they can immediately repair let alone being un able to even provide a time frame for the replacement airbags.

Sudden unintended acceleration with braking problems. Three episodes. The first episode was a complaint to the dealer with documentation in the car's service record. The second of which was worked-up for one week by the dealer with no answers. The third episode occurred going down a parking ramp and resulted in loss of control of the car and injuries to both fenders. The car's "black box" was not activated during the last episode. The car accelerated right after it had begun moving forward. During the other episodes, the acceleration occurred right after being started. During the third and most serious episode, the car was moving down the car ramp in a parking garage, from the eighth floor to the sixth floor. After starting down the ramp, the car accelerated and could not be stopped by braking, shifting to neutral and park or by pressing the off button switch. When the sixth floor was reached, the car was driven down one of the exit lanes where finally it was able to be stopped by usual braking maneuvers. In the "black box" study, there was no record of any abnormal activity, either acceleration or braking. Police were notified and essentially documented the events but made no other comments. During the third episode, the car was moving at a rapid rate of speed, probably at about 50 miles per hour but this cannot be documented. Repair of the vehicle cost about $6000.

Door locks(all 4 doors) stopped locking/unlocking by use of power door lock button or key fob. Each door must now be locked / unlocked manually. Based on forum page, this is a widespread issue that must be investigated. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t36095_ds744492

The power door lock on the driver's side stopped working with the key fob. Can only lock and unlock by use of actual key or by manually pushing door lock. The passenger's side door lock is starting to show the same signs as the driver's side did before it stopped working completely. Sometimes will work properly and sometimes it won't.
