I was dropping my husband off at cardiac rehab. I was stopped and had my foot on the brake suddenly the car launched forward into the back of a car parked in front of me. The other driver got out of the car and said he wasn't hurt. We were able to drive the car home stopping 3 times to pull pieces of the car off that were dragging on the road. We took the car to a mechanic at the end of the road. He scanned the codes for us. Pre-collision 2 ClAll ; Intuitive Park Assist ClAll Front Sensor Comm. Circuit ; Front Recognition Camera ClAll ; Lane Keeping Assist ClAll Front Radar Sensor Incorrect Axial Gap ; BCM B124B Light Source Sensor Open/Short. The insurance adjustor totaled the car and they picked it up today. No warning lights showed up on the dash until after the accident.

What owners say
Unintended acceleration causing accident March 2, 2023. Low speed frontal collision avoidance assist did not engage causing accident June 11, 2024. August 2023 I agreed to video and Lexus is not providing video of accident June 11th, 2024! Recall on fuel pump and software replaced but still BAD. Radio off. Heard cybercrimes of communications systems for video game data by Meta.
The contact owns a 2019 Lexus RX350. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH with the cruise control activated; the forward collision avoidance feature failed to operate as needed. As a result, the contact hit an 18-wheeler vehicle that had unexpectedly merged into his lane. The contact depressed the brake pedal prior to the collision back of the vehicle at approximately 10 to 15 MPH. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The contact managed to still drive despite minor front-end damage to the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it remained in their possession for three months; an investigator was sent to the dealer to inspect the vehicle. The investigation determined that there was no fault with the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000. The contact stated that the radar assisted cruise control nor the brakes helped to slow the vehicle.
Sudden acceleration while parking; collision with post & fence Failure of safety systems; including ‘collision avoidance’ breaking, ‘collision warning’ alarm, air bag failed to deploy. Repair shop to evaluate the physical damage to the car the week of 13December2021. Lexus has been notified; case number 211208000564. Lexus has not contacted me or the insurance company as of 10December2021. Mishawaka, Indiana Police Dept. case #2112070051
While driving 65-70mph on the freeway, the car started dinging and one of the first messages that we saw was "pre-collision system malfunction" & "hybrid system malfuncion" followed by every other "system malfunction" and the gas pedal was no longer supplying gas to the car. We were in the fast lane and had to work over 3 or 4 lanes to get to the emergency lane/exit. Since we were at an exit, we took the exit and coasted as far as we could before the car came to a halt. Another car stopped to help us get completely off the road since we weren't fully in the emergency lane. After a few minutes we were able to crank the car and drive it a few miles to the dealership. We left the car at the dealership and they called the next day to inform us that the fuel pump had to be replaced. I did not find this vehicle to be part of any recall or lawsuit but several other Lexus models are part of a recall/lawsuit due to a problem with the Denso fuel pump. I'm not sure if my car has this same fuel pump. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.
