Driver side rearview mirror vibrates inside housing preventing proper identification of vehicles approaching or vehicles on left lane. This situation has been present since the vehicle was purchased. Lexus denies my claim. I believe it to be a serious safety issue.

Defect investigations
Pedestrian alert sounds
the federal safety agency received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, the federal safety agency opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified the federal safety agency he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by the federal safety agency regarding the subject matter of the petition.

What 2014 Lexus RX Hybrid owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While stopped at a red traffic light, I pressed the phone hangup button (bluetooth connection) on the steering wheel and the engine immediately shut off. I put the car in park, foot on the brake, pressed the start button on the dash - engine did not start. Try #4 it started. Meanwhile the traffic light had gone through a full cycle, then red and late on the 2nd green I was able to move the car. Considerable honking from cars behind me during the event, but fortunately no accidents or injuries during this stall. On june 17, 2014 I had the car towed to keyes lexus maintenance in van nuys, ca, my dealership and the maintenance service I always use. They could not find any defects in the shop or during a longrange drive, but the driver did not use the bluetooth. Lexus said no systemic defects have been recognized in the bluetooth, or other problems with engine stalls, and my google search confirmed that. I turned the leased vehicle in at keyes lexus, and they made an excellent deal for me to lease a new 2015 rx450h. I am not complaining about any of the individuals who worked with me, and I am a long time customer at keyes lexus which provides outstanding service and courtesy. However, I am unconvinced that the vehicle is safe.
