Had an issue while driving the 2018 rx450h on may 4th where the car lights came on....engine light, awd, ABS, etc and the car stalled completely. Had towed to dealership and they stated that it was 'fixed'. 4 weeks later while traveling at 70+ MPH on major interstate, car stalled again the same way....lights on, etc.. Was luckily in the right lane of 4 wide traffic as car went to a stop quickly. Was stranded in a heavy traffic lane, car would not shift into neutral to push out of traffic. Was 2 hours from home, had another lexus dealership tow the car and they came back within a few hours and said it was the fuel pump. I was not aware of the recall till then and this 18' 450h was not on the current list which only proves that this issue is systemic. Fortunately, no one was hurt in these 2 occurrences but we are not driving this car again under no circumstances.

My 2013 rx450h' ABS light suddenly turned on while I was driving in a local road. Along with the ABS light, there were brake warning light, master maintenance warning light, slip light on along with "check ABS" "brake system malfunction" warning messages appearing on the dash board. Very unsettling. I took the car to a lexus dealership and they retrieved error code as "c1391, abnormal leak in accumulator. " they didn't detect any leakage or moisture in the diagnosis, they recommended to replace the ABS actuator and booster bump/accumulator assembly for a price of over $4300. After I did some research of this problem, I ran into many complaint of the same issue with various toyota and lexus cars, especially on hybrid models. I also learned the faulty component is the issue and the issue has been there on my car for a long time without my realizing it. Because 1) the ABS assembly would make the chirping sound when I start the car. Since the sound isn't loud, I wasn't aware it was any indication of a problem. 2) I encountered an even more serious symptom of this issue many many times. When I put the gear on reverse shortly after I switch on engine, even while I am stepping on the brake, the car would just move backward, out of control of the brake. I have to release and reapply my foot on the brake to stop its movement. I failed to recognize that this is the symptom of a failing ABS actuator earlier, as I thought it was something the hybrid model has with its electric motor kick in instantly. I also learned toyota/lexus offered customer support programs for this specific issue across many models as detailed in this post http://www.diy-time.com/automotive/toyota/faulty-brake-actuator-brake-booster-pump-on-toyota-lexus-cars/. Lexus should issue sweeping recall to address this prevalent issue in its products. The issue would lead to real safety issues for drivers.
