LEXUS ES 2007 car safety problem was reported on Sept 07, 2011.LEXUS ES 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT THE VEHICLE BUT ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT LEXUS HAS REGARDING SAFETY RECALLS. THIS RECALL WAS DURING 2009. I READ ABOUT IT IN THE NEWSPAPER, CALLED LEXUS AND WAS TOLD IT DID NOT PERTAIN TO ME. MANY MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER SAYING MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED, AND THIS CONCERNED ME ABOUT LEXUS' RECORDS AND RECALL SYSTEM. I HAD MY VEHICLE CORRECTED. APPROX SIX MONTHS LATER, AND AGAIN ABOUT A YEAR AFTERWARDS, I RECEIVED A SIMILAR RECALL LETTERS SAYING LEXUS' RECORDS REFLECT I NEED TO HAVE THIS SAFETY CONDITION CORRECTED. WHEN I CALLED BOTH TIMES, THEY VERIFIED THAT I HAD ALREADY DONE THIS CORRECTION. WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM, THEY SAID TO JUST "IGNORE THE LETTER AND THROW IT AWAY". I QUESTION THE ACCURACY AND THE WHOLE RECORDS KEEPING SYSTEM BY LEXUS, AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THEIR SYSTEM BE OFFICIALLY REVIEWED. RECALLS PERTAIN TO SAFETY AND I DON'T FEEL LEXUS HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS. *TR.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBJ46G872. Lexus Es 2007 problem was reported in HONOLULU, HI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS.

LEXUS ES Visibility Glass, Side/rear

LEXUS ES 2007 Safety Review #10449451

LEXUS ES 2007 car safety problem was reported on Feb 10, 2012.LEXUS ES 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR . WHILE WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2007 ES350 IN A HIGH WAY IN DECEMBER 2011, THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT WINDOW GLASS SUDDENLY FELL OFF FROM THE TRACK, AND WE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. AFTER REPLACING IT WITH A "NEWLY-DESIGNED" OEM GLASS IN A TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE DEPT (IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO WE PAID $600 FOR THE REPLACEMENT), THE DRIVER-SIDE FRONT WINDOW GLASS ALSO FELL OFF IN FEBRUARY 2012, AND WE COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE GLASS WAS REPLACED IN THE SAME DEPT. ONCE ONE (OR BOTH) OF THE FRONT WINDOW GLASSES FALLS OFF, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR IN A HIGH SPEED. AND, WE BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL WINDOW-GLASS DESIGN HAS A DEFECT AND THAT IS WHY LEXUS RE-DESIGNED THE GLASS (PLEASE LOOK AT THE TSB BELOW). I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY LEXUS DOESN'T RECALL IT FOR THE DRIVING SAFETY.

LEXUS ES Fuel/propulsion System

LEXUS ES 2007 Safety Review #10461036

LEXUS ES 2007 car safety problem was reported on May 17, 2012.LEXUS ES 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . I AM 100% SURE I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. HERE ARE THE FACTS: 1. APPROXIMATELY 4-5 P.M., I WAS EASTBOUND ON SEPULVEDA BLVD., TORRANCE, CA. (ALMOST AT THE CORNER OF ARLINGTON AVE) ABOUT TO COMPLETE MY LAST ERRAND OF THE DAY TO PICK UP A PRESCRIPTION AT RITE AID DRUG STORE. I TURNED RIGHT INTO THE PARKING LOT, NOTICED A SPOT ON MY LEFT AND DECIDED TO PARK THERE. THE PARKING SPACE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20-30 FEET FROM THE ENTRANCE AND I PROCEEDED TO PULL INTO IT, EASING UP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND GUIDING MY CAR INTO THE SPACE. MY CAR WAS ALMOST IN THE PARKING POSITION, FACING EAST AND I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE TO FINALIZE THE ACT. THERE WAS AN EMPTY PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF MY CAR, BUT THERE WERE PARKED CARS TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. 2. AS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE, AND OUT OF NOWHERE, THE CAR ACCELERATED, JUMPED AN ISLAND IN FRONT OF MY CAR, AND HIT THE TWO PARKED CARS. I HIT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR A AND SWERVED TO LEFT, SIDE SWIPING THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR (B). ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS STEERING CLEAR OF ANY PEOPLE SO I HEADED FOR A CLEAR OPEN SPACE AND IN THE PROCESS, MY CAR JUMPED ANOTHER ISLAND AND I WAS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR SEPULVEDA BLVD WHICH IS A MAIN THOROUGHFARE. BRAKING DID NOT STOP THE CAR SO I THREW THE GEAR INTO ¿�PARK¿� AND IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE LOCATION OF THE FINAL STOP WAS IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PARKING LOT, AWAY FROM PEOPLE. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT. I HAD NIGHTMARES THINKING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL. STATE FARM HAS RULED THAT I AM 51% AT FAULT BECAUSE I DID NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO I LOST MY EXCELLENT GOOD DRIVER SAFETY DISCOUNTS BESIDES THE LOST VALUE OF THE CAR. IN ADDITION, THIS INCIDENT REPRESENTS THE DEADLY FORCE THIS CAR REPRESENTS TO PUBLIC SAFETY. IT WENT THROUGH 2 RECALLS AND STILL IT PRESENTS CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER. *JS.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50856 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBJ46G572. Lexus Es 2007 problem was reported in TORRANCE, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

LEXUS ES 2007 Safety Review #10493349

LEXUS ES 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 08, 2012.LEXUS ES 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS . THE DRIVER SEAT WINDOW GLASS JUST WENT DOWN WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY IN FREEZING WINTER WEATHER, THE WINDOW GLASS WOULD NOT GO UP AND SHE COULD PULL IT UP ALSO BECAUSE THE WINDOW GLASS WENT INSIDE THE DOOR COMPLETELY. SHE WAS IN A REMOTE AREA AND HAD TO DRIVE MANY MILES WITH OPEN FRONT WINDOW WITH BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURE TO FIND A NEAREST LEXUS DEALER SHE ALSO HAD TWO KIDS IN THE CAR TO MAKE SITUATION STILL WORSE. THE LEXUS DEALER SAID THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND WINDOW GLASS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE PLASTIC CLIP HOLDING THE WINDOW GLASS TO THE REGULATOR HAD BROKEN. DEALER SAID HE HAS TO ORDER THE PARTS FOR IT AND GAVE A QUOTE OF $800. WORST PART IS THE DEALER PULLED THE WINDOW GLASS UP AND PUT SOME TAPE TO HOLD IT TEMPORARILY AND CHARGED $100 DOLLARS FOR IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE LUXURY CAR LIKE LEXUS WILL HAVE SUCH FAULTY PARTS INSTALLED WHEN I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE I SAW MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ON SAME EXACT ISSUE WE FACED, THIS WINDOW GLASS AND PARTS SHOULD BE RE-CALLED AND REPLACED FOR FREE BY LEXUS BECAUSE IT CAN BE SAFETY ISSUE IF THIS HAPPENS IN FREEZING WINTER WEATHER. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 123000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBJ46G072. Lexus Es 2007 problem was reported in NORTHVILLE, MI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT ATTACH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW BROKE, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO JUMP OUT OF THE TRACK. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON LEXUS OWNER FORUMS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE WITH 2007-2008 ES350 MODELS. LEXUS EVEN REALIZES THERE IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THEY PUT OUT A SAFETY BULLETIN (L-SB-0003-09) ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER IS FORCING THE CONSUMER TO PURCHASE AN ENTIRE NEW WINDOW IN ORDER TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DESIGN. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR AN ACCIDENT MAY HAVE OCCURRED. I WOULD A COMPANY WHO'S SLOGAN IS "THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION" TO STAND UP AND ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE AN ISSUE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 80123 miles.
