AFTER AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF FALSE DIAGNOSTICS, WASTED SERVICE TRIPS (AT LEAST A WEEK LONG EACH TIME) AND USELESS BUT COSTLY REPAIRS, MY CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP.

LEXUS ES300 1998 car safety problem was reported on Oct 15, 2003.LEXUS ES300 1998, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER . I HAVE A 1998 LEXUS ES300. THE DRIVER'S HEATED SEAT STOPPED WORKING. BALISE LEXUS, OF WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA, EXPLAINED THERE WAS A BROKEN WIRE IN HEATING GRID AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME $500.00, FOR PARTS AND LABOR. MY MECHANIC DISASSEMBLED THE SEAT AND FOUND THE WIRE HAD FRAYED AND SHORTED OUT WHEN IT STARTED ON FIRE. IT HAD BURNT PART OF THE HEATING GRID, THE FOAM IT WAS ATTACHED TO AND THE INSIDE OF THE LEATHER UPHOLSTERY. I SHOWED THIS HEATING GRID TO THE LEXUS DEALER, WHO REPLIED, " THE HEATING GRIDS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR 3-5 YEARS." I WOULD THINK THAT A FUSE WOULD SHORT OUT, OR A LIGHT ON THE DASH WOULD ALERT YOU TO A MALFUNCTION. I DEFINETELY WOULDN'T EXPECT A FIRE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS DAMAGE AND EVEN SEVERE BODILY INJURY. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT HEATING GRID FOR $204.80. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REINBURSED AND A SEFETY FEATURE OF SOME SORT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN FUTURE MODELS. WHAT CAN I DO?

THE ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO UNINTENDED-ACCELERATION AS THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD FIGHTING THE BRAKE. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE ACCELERATOR HAD A LIFE OF ITS OWN OVERRIDING THE BRAKING ACTIONS I TRIED TO IMPLEMENT. I WAS PROCEEDING SLOWLY UP THE LONG NARROW DRIVEWAY. I MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING PLACE THAT WAS PERPENDICULAR TO THE WALK-WAY. I SLOWLY TAPPED THE GAS ON MY LEXUS ES 300 AND THEN THE BRAKES. AS I MOVED MY FOOT OVER TO THE HIGHER LEVEL BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN--THE IGNITION/ACCELERATOR SYSTEM TOOK OVER THE CAR. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AS FIRMLY AS I COULD BUT IT DID NOT OVERRIDE THE ACCELERATION. THE BRAKES HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SIX WEEKS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT AND I WAS TOLD THEY WERE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THE CAR JUMPED THE SIDEWALK AND CRASHED INTO A BLOCK WALL. IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE ACCELERATOR WHICH CAUSED THE ACCIDENT.

IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, MANY MONTHS APART. THE FUMES SEEM TO BE SWEPT IN THROUGH A/C OR HEATING VENTS, AND CAN CONTINUE FOR THE DURATION OF A LOCAL DRIVE, ONLY TO DISAPPEAR THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED.

Seems that 2006 2007 IS250 & IS350 owners would rather talk to each other about problems with the drivers knee airbag harness. I've been told by a Lexus service manager that both airbags and seatbelts are disabled when the "airbag light" is i windshield casing on drivers side has pulled away from frame causing air noises. Do alot of 2010's have this issue? I have a steering column that squeaks when I turn my '01 Lexus RX-300. All of this stuff is starting to make. My husband was driving a 2001 lexus gs 1999 Lexus RX300.....Passenger seat belt light keep blinking when somebody seat on the front.Thank you for your help. 93 gs300, out of the blue,, car died, towed home, started ran fine, 5 min. later dies. got to run again, 7 min dies. noticed with key on all the injectors are clicking irratically, then while trouble shooting,, everything, comes to a stop, when recently, on my 1992 SC400, a loud beep apparantly coming from the right door speaker comes immediately after starting the car. I've turned off the radio and it still beeps. i have a problem with my lexus sc430 cabriolet. i cant open luggage and i cant be it cabrio. plz help me. I own an lexus 2000 rx300, since the past 6 months the temperature gauge has stopped working and the electricians can't find what is wrong airbags did not deploy upon impact to a tree and rock at 50 mph Hello Yvonne, I had the same problem with my 2004 LS430, I took the steering wheel cowl off and watched the motor I could see (up down) motor. I found that the motor turned a little and was obviously still working (sort of) my thoughts on this pro Noticed a thumping noise with my 2010 RX 350 when braking going forward and backwards. Dealership said not to worry, many owner are complaining about the same thing. When there are enough complaints Lexus will do more research to resolve the pro
430 and lost control somehow there still not sure how crashed into a tree and the car exploded a couple times i was just wondering if anyone has had any trouble with
