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 2019 Lexus RX Hybrid owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Brake noise, like a seal is barking on application of brakes while driving. Dealer and lexus engineers state that it's normal, don't have a fix at the moment and released the vehicle. Brake was soft while driving and felt like brake pedal needs to be pushed much further to achieve braking on time.
As per lexus dealership, the electrical wires were chewed by rodents while parked in the driveway. After reading about this on the internet, it appears that this is a consistent problem with lexus vehicles because of the use of soy based electrical wires which the rodents are attracted to. None of mine or any other vehicle in the neighborhood have been affected by rodents, except for this 2019 model and it happened the very first time that it was not used for more than a couple of days.
