Trim around front center A/C cracked. I sat in parked and heard a crack. I assume it was due to heat from sunlight. Cracked after less than 2 years of ownership. Bought brand new. Area around cup holder also cracked after about 1.5 years of ownership. Contacted lexus about this but nothing was done. They said they would get back to me but that was 1 year ago.

After replacing tires, at highway speeds the car shakes. Replaced the replacement tires with a different manufacturer and tread type and still have the same vibration at the same speed(s). Tire place put a total of 10 tires on the vehicle to no avail and road force balanced the tires. Recommended I take the vehicle to the dealership. The lexus dealership said that only the exact tires that came on the car would guarantee the car wouldn't shake. They roadforce blanched the same tires and came up with vastly different results 2 weeks apart. When asked what would happen when the tires that came on the vehicle would be discontinued there was no response. So, in short, lexus has made a vehicle that, once the oem selected tires are discontinued, will no longer provide a smooth ride.

Vehicle self-started while unattended. After start#2 car was checked for dash lights and running engine when left. Upon return the gas tank was half used and car was running. This occurred twice more. Car parked in a public parking area-it has yet to happen in our driveway, but after reading about people forgetting to turn off their pushbutton start autos and succumbing to exhaust gas I wonder if they really forgot or the car self started like ours..
