LEXUS RX400H 2006 Tires Report #10228570

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Nov 30, 2007.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with TIRES . PRIOR TO HAVING THE TIRES REPLACED, THERE WERE NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS ON THE VERGE OF SLIPPING/SKIDDING OR LOSING GRIP OF THE ROAD. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO LATE IF THERE WERE INJURIES OR DEATHS DUE TO THE UNSAFE QUALITY OF THIS PRODUCT. ON NOV. 30, I TOOK MY 400H TO THE DEALER FOR THE 10K SERVICE. IT WAS THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHERE IT GETS SERVICED EVERY 5000 MILES. THE DEALER PHONED TO TELL ME THAT ALL 4 TIRES MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF BADLY WORN INSIDE TREAD. I WAS SHOCKED! WHAT? AT 19,562 MILES? JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER CAR I OWNED BEFORE, I EXPECTED TO REPLACE THEM AT 40K-60K MILES. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE OE GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A 235/55VR18 TIRES USUALLY LAST ABOUT 20K MILES. SHOCKED AGAIN! I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THAT CAR IF I HAD KNOWN THIS. THE ONLY THING MENTIONED ON THE WINDOW STICKER WAS ¿235/55VR18 ALL-SEASON TIRES.¿ WE SCANNED THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT MANY OUT THERE SHARE THE SAME QUESTION AND CONFUSION. WE WERE NEVER INFORMED BY LEXUS THAT EARLIER 400HS HAD ALIGNMENT ISSUES. WE WERE NEVER INFORMED THAT THE OE TIRES ON THESE EXPENSIVE 400H SUVS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED ROUGHLY EVERY 20K. ON THE AVERAGE, A CAR WITH AVERAGE QUALITY TIRES WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT ROUGHLY EVERY 40K-60K, WHICH SHOULD BE THE NORM. WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE BEEN MISINFORMED BY LEXUS AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR LEXUS RESPONSIBILITY OF PUTTING THESE GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES ON SUCH LUXURIOUS CARS AND MAKE THE CONSUMERS PAY FOR THE INFERIOR QUALITY OR EVEN POTENTIAL HAZARD. SOME OF US WOULD HAVE OPTED FOR A DIFFERENT CAR OR EVEN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MAKE IF IT MEANS PAYING ABOUT $1000 FOR EVERY 20K WE DRIVE JUST ON TIRE REPLACEMENT. WE ARE ALSO EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED BY LEXUS¿ INACTION KNOWING SUCH WIDELY-DISCUSSED PROBLEM. LEXUS CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LUXURIOUS AS WELL AS RELIABLE. ANOTHER QUESTION IS, WHY WOULD THE TIRES BE ABNORMALLY WORN JUST ON THE INSIDE EDGE? *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 19562 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJHW31U660. Lexus Rx400h 2006 problem was reported in LIVERMORE, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

AS OF THIS COMPLAINT, LEXUS SHOULD NOT BUT STILL IS USING THE GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES AS OE TIRES. ON NOV. 30, I TOOK MY 400H TO THE DEALER FOR THE 10K SERVICE, THE SAME PLACE WHERE IT GETS SERVICED EVERY 5000 MILES.

WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE BEEN MISINFORMED BY LEXUS AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR LEXUS RESPONSIBILITY OF PUTTING THESE GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES ON SUCH LUXURIOUS CARS AND MAKE THE CONSUMERS PAY FOR THE INFERIOR QUALITY. SINCE WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE TIRE PERFORMANCE WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY WERE RUNNING A ¿HYBRID¿ CAR, THEN IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE THAT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED LEXUS TO INSTALL A DIFFERENT SET OF TIRES. SOME OF US WOULD HAVE OPTED FOR A DIFFERENT CAR OR EVEN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MAKE IF IT MEANS PAYING ABOUT $1000 FOR EVERY 20K WE DRIVE JUST ON TIRE REPLACEMENT. WE ARE ALSO EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED BY LEXUS¿ INACTION KNOWING SUCH WIDELY-DISCUSSED PROBLEM. LEXUS CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LUXURIOUS AS WELL AS RELIABLE.

THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE AND THAT ERRATIC/LOSS OF BRAKING IS NORMAL FOR THIS MODEL. THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR SBS POSTED TO UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE, BRAKING/HYBRID DRIVE SYSTEMS.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I WAS TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HWY AT 60 MPH WHEN ONE OF MY TIRES "BLEW". I DID NOTICE THAT I HAD RUN OVER ANY ROAD DEBRIS BUT THE TIRE HAD A TWO INCH SLICE IN THE SIDEWALL. THE TIRE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION, ORIGINAL LEXUS EQUIPMENT, A MICHELIN 235/55R18 . TODAY, MY DAUGHTER WHO OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID (BASICALLY THE SAME CAR AS MY LEXUS 400H) HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT WITH HER BABY IN THE CAR. SHE HIT A CURB WITH THE CAR HARDLY MOVING. THE TIRE "BLEW", AND LIKE MINE, WENT FLAT IMMEDIATELY. SHE HAD A SIMILAR TWO INCH GASH IN THE SIDEWALL. THE TIRE WAS ORIGINAL TOYOTA EQUIPPED. I'VE BEEN DRIVING A LONG TIME. I'VE NEVER SEEN SIDEWALL BLOWOUTS LIKE THIS (MINOR PROVOCATION) SINCE RADIAL TIRES WERE INTRODUCED. PLEASE CHECK OUT THESE TOYOTA PROVIDED TIRES. *TR.0 person(s) died.Mileage was 21500 miles.

AS I¿M SURE YOU ARE AWARE ¿ HYBRID CARS ARE VERY QUIET AND THUS PRESENT A DANGER TO PEOPLE WALKING THROUGH PARKING LOTS. THE DANGER IS PARTICULARLY SERIOUS WHEN THOSE DRIVING THE HYBRIDS ARE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES - NO MATTER HOW CAREFULLY THE DRIVERS ARE BACKING OUT! PEDESTRIANS DEPEND ON THEIR HEARING TO ALERT THEM TO CARS BACKING OUT, SO THEY SIMPLY WALK RIGHT BEHIND A CAR THAT IS ALREADY MOVING. I OWN A 2006 LEXUS 400H AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT BACK-UP LIGHTS THAT BEEP TO ALERT PEDESTRIANS, BUT NONE ARE AVAILABLE FROM ANY SOURCE. I URGE THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE QUICK ACTION TO ENSURE THAT FUTURE MODELS INCLUDE EXTERNAL SOUND FOR HYBRIDS WHEN THEY ARE BACKING UP AND ALSO TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT BACK UP LIGHTS THAT PROVIDE THAT SAME CAPACITY FOR OLDER HYBRID MODELS.

THE REGENERATIVE BRAKES ON MY LEXUS RX 400H WILL STOP WORKING DURING NORMAL BRAKING OPERATION CAUSING THE OPERATOR TO HAVE TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BREAK PEDAL TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF REGENERATIVE BREAKING. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE A BRAKING ADJUSTMENT. THIS PROBLEM FIRST STARTED IN DECEMBER, 2007. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL, 2005. I DO NOT FEEL THAT AN OPERATOR OF A VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE SUDDEN ADJUSTMENTS IN THEIR BREAKING ACTION TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DISENGAGEMENT OF A PORTION OF THE BREAKING SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN THIS BACK TO THE LEXUS DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY BELIEVE THE CAR IS WORKING NORMAL, EVEN WHEN THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. *TR .Mileage was 32000 miles.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 10, 2009.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . I WAS DRIVING 2006 LEXUS 400H WHEN I NOTICED THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO FADE. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 21 DEGREES AND I TRAVELED ONLY 8 MILES. I WENT OUT ON THE ROAD A HALF HOUR LATER. I HAD TO USE TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL HALF WAY TO THE STORE SINCE POWER STEERING HAD FADED GREATLY. WHEN I GOT INTO THE PARKING LOT, I TURNED INTO A SPACE AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME BECAUSE THE STEERING JUST DIED. IN ANY EVENT, AFTER GRUNTING AND USING MUCH MUSCLE, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME. HOWEVER, WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN AT INTERSECTIONS, THE WHEEL SEEMED TO PULSATE LIKE POWER WAS COMING ON. BECAUSE I WAS PUTTING MUCH STRENGTH ON THE WHEEL TRYING TO CONTROL THE TURN, I DRIFTED CLOSE TO THE OPPOSITE LANE TWICE AND CAME WITHIN INCHES OF A STOPPED CAR WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. I AM UNABLE TO EVEN STEER THE CAR NOW. THE STEERING AND FRONT WHEELS WILL MOVE SIDE TO SIDE SEVERAL INCHES JUST SITTING THERE. THE CAR HAS 35,154 MILES ON IT. I KNOW THE MANUAL SAYS THE ELECTRONIC POWER UNIT WILL SHUT DOWN IF IT OVERHEATS FROM OVERUSE BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN MY SITUATION. IT JUST PROGRESSIVELY SHUT DOWN. I FEAR THAT AN ELDERLY OR A PERSON WITHOUT MUCH ARM STRENGTH WOULD NOT HAVE FARED AS WELL AS I DID. *TR.Mileage was 35140 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJHW31U060.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Feb 03, 2009.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I HAVE A 2006RX 400H, WITH 60K MILES, AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I BROKE DOWN 2 WEEKS AGO ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, WITHOUT BRAKES, LOUD WARNING SOUNDS, AND FAILURE LIGHTS ALL OVER THE DASH. MY CHOICES AT THAT TIME WERE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, CENTER DIVIDER DID NOT EXIST BUT INSTEAD WAS A CONCRETE BARRIER, AND RIGHT HAND SHOULDER EASED OFF TO THE RIVER. SINCE IT WAS NOT COMMUTE TIME, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OFF AT THE OLD MARE ISLAND BASE IN VALLEJO. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO FREEMAN LEXUS, SANTA ROSA, WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR AND HAVE HAD ALL SERVICING DONE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD TAKE A WEEK OR SO TO GET. THE JOB WAS DONE ON WED. FEB 11. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK IT UP AND WAS ON MY WAY TO SF TO TEACH A CLASS, WHEN LESS THAN 30 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP, ON HIGHWAY 101, IN THE MIDDLE OF COMMUTE TRAFFIC, FAILURE ALARMS AND LIGHTS SOUNDED AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I WAS SHOCKED AND TRIED TO QUICKLY GET MY CAR OVER TO THE SLOW/RIGHT HAND LANE AND TRIED TO SLOW DOWN. I FINALLY, 2 MILES LATER, FOUND AN EXIT RAMP AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP AFTER A LONG APPROACH TO THE RAMP. I WAS STOPPED BETWEEN THE LANE AND THE SHOULDER. CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN TO LET THEM KNOW OF THE FAILURE. THEY NOW HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK AT FREEMAN LEXUS. IF THIS COMPUTER WAS REPLACED, HOW COULD THIS FAILURE HAPPEN AGAIN. ADDITIONALLY, I HAD TO REACH OUT TO ALL MY STUDENTS TO CANCEL THE CLASS AT THE LAST MINUTE. THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND BOTH TIMES COULD HAVE ENDED IN INJURY, SERIOUS COLLISION, TO OTHERS OR MYSELF. WHILE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DELIGHTED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND LEXUS PRODUCTS AND SERVICE, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I COULD BE TOLD REGARDING THE REPAIR OF THIS CAR, THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL SAFE. I FEEL LIKE WITH THESE 2 FAILURES, TWO POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SITUATIONS WERE AVERTED. HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN WITH TERRIBLE OR DEADLY CONSEQUENCES? *TR .Mileage was 60130 miles.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 11, 2009.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with TIRES . ONE ANOTHER VICTIM OF OE TIRES OF INFERIOR QUALITY + ALIGNMENT ISSUES OF LEXUS RX 400H. I AM FILING A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST LEXUS COMPANY. RECENTLY, I DROVE THE SUV (@ 125 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE) TO MY DEALER TO GET THE RECALL OF ¿POWER STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY¿ FIXED. THE DEALER PHONED TO TELL ME THAT ALL 4 TIRES MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF BADLY WORN INSIDE TREAD AND STEEL BELT IS VISIBLE ¿ UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS SHOCKED! WHAT? AT 23,782 MILES? JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER CAR I OWNED BEFORE, I EXPECTED TO REPLACE THEM AT 50-60K MILES. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE OE GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A 235/55VR18 TIRES USUALLY LAST ABOUT 20K MILES. HE ALSO SAID BECAUSE IT¿S A HYBRID CAR!! SHOCKED AGAIN! I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THAT CAR IF I HAD KNOWN THIS. THE ONLY THING MENTIONED ON THE WINDOW STICKER WAS ¿235/55VR18 ALL-SEASON TIRES.¿ I SCANNED THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THAT MANY OUT THERE SHARE THE SAME QUESTION AND CONFUSION. I WAS NEVER INFORMED BY ANYONE OF THE FACT THAT THE EARLIER 400HS HAD ALIGNMENT ISSUES AND THE OE TIRES ON THESE EXPENSIVE 400H SUVS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED ROUGHLY EVERY 20K. LEXUS SHOULD HAVE RECALLED ALL THE EARLIER 400HS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. ON THE AVERAGE, A CAR WITH AVERAGE QUALITY TIRES WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT ROUGHLY EVERY 50K-60K, WHICH SHOULD BE THE NORM. LEXUS CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LUXURIOUS AS WELL AS RELIABLE, WHY WOULD THE TIRES BE ABNORMALLY WORN JUST ON THE INSIDE EDGE AT JUST 20K MILES? I BELIEVE,I HAVE BEEN MISINFORMED BY LEXUS AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR LEXUS RESPONSIBILITY OF PUTTING THESE GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES ON SUCH LUXURIOUS CARS AND MAKE THE CONSUMERS PAY FOR THE INFERIOR QUALITY. SINCE I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE TIRE PERFORMANCE WAS DUE TO THE SUV IS A ¿HYBRID¿ CAR, THEN IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE THAT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED LEXUS TO INSTALL A DIFFERENT SET OF TIRE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 23782 miles.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2009.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I OWN A 2006 LEXUS RX-400H, AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED BRAKING PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 1-2 YEARS THAT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE PROBLEM GENERALLY OCCURS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN ABOUT 25-45 MPH, AND INVOLVES A SUDDEN DECREASE IN BRAKING DECELERATION WITH CONSTANT BRAKE PRESSURE, MAKING IT NECESSARY TO QUICKLY APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. FROM MY OWN OBSERVATIONS, AS WELL AS FROM TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP, THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE HYBRID REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM, WHICH SEEMS TO ABRUPTLY STOP REGENERATIVE BRAKING WITHOUT COMPENSATING WITH ADDITIONAL FRICTION BRAKING. AFTER FINALLY HAVING THIS PHENOMENON CONFIRMED BY THE DEALERSHIP AFTER OVER WELL OVER A YEAR OF EXPERIENCING IT, I AM BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT LEXUS ENGINEERS ARE CALLING THIS "NORMAL" AND "EXPECTED" BEHAVIOR OF THE CAR. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT, WHILE IT MAY BE "NORMAL" OR "EXPECTED" TO LEXUS, IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO BRAKING IN A PREDICTABLE MANNER. I HAVE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BEEN STARTLED BY OCCURRENCES OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN OR CROSS WALK, AND CONSIDER MYSELF FORTUNATE THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO REACT IN TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, OR A PEDESTRIAN.

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST MORNING OF FEB 3 2010 FOR MY REGULAR SERIVICE. I DIDN'T KNOW YET THAT TIME ABOUT THE STORY BEHIND THE BREAK TIME LAG OF PRIUS. BECAUSE THAT DAY I TOLD LEXUS TO TAKE A LOOK ON MY BRAKE AS I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PRIUS. MY CAR IS A RX400H 2006 MODEL. NOT ONLY I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM DURING SLOW MOVEMENT(APPROACHING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT) BUT EVEN ON A HIGH SPEED(60-65). I COMPALAIN THE PROBLEM TO LEXUS 3 YEARS AGO AND THEY DID SOME ADJUSTMENT(I DON'Y KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IS) BUT STILL I ALWAYS HAVE THAT PROBLEM AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. MYWIFE IS THE ONE WHO DRIVES THAT CAR A LOT, AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE NEVER HAVE THAT EPISODE ON A HIGH SPEED, BUT SHE SAID SHE ALWAYS HAVE THAT ON A 50MPH SPEED ON A LOCAL STRRET, WHICH IS EVEN WORST, AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU ARE VERY CLOSE. ACTUALY LAST FEB 3 2010 THE LEXUS GAVE ME A LOANER CAR FOR THAT DAY AND IT IS A HS HYBRID CAR(450 MILES) AND IT'S ALMOST NEW, AND I WAS SURPRISED THAT IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I'M APPROACHING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. SO I TOLD MYSELF, IS THIS NORMAL TO A HYBRID? MY RX400H IS NOW 4 YEARS AND I CANNOT REMEMBER I'M HAVING THAT PROBLEM ON IT'S 1ST YEAR. I BELIEVE THE SLOW SPEED WAS STARTED A MONTH AGO.(MID JAN 2010) AND THE HIGH SPEED IS PROBABLY 3 YEARS NOW. THIS MESSAGE IS NOT A COMPLAIN, BUT RATHER THEM(TOYOTA) TO INVESTIGATE IF EVERYTHING IS STILL NORMAL. *CN.Mileage was 36500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJHW31U160.

I OWN 2 2006 LEXUS RX 400 H HYBRID SUV'S. FROM THE FIRST WEEK I COMPLAINED THAT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE WHEN YOU DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD WHEN THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE FOR 1 OR 2 SECONDS. THE LEXUS DEALER HAS DISMISSED MY COMPLAINT EACH TIME. NOW THERE APPEARS TO BE A VOLUNTARY RECALL OF TOYOTA HYBRIDS AND ONE LINE OF LEXUS HYBRIDS WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST WITH THEIR NEW S50 LEXUS HYBRID. IT HAS EXISTED AT LEAST AS FAR BACK AS 2006 WITH MY CARS. *TR.Mileage was 30500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJGW31UX60. Lexus Rx400h 2006 problem was reported in CORAL GABLES, FL.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Feb 11, 2010.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC . I OWN A 2006 LEXUS RX400H WHICH I BELIEVE HAS EXACTLY THE SAME FLAW AS RECENTLY REPORTED IN THE PRIUS. SEVERAL YEARS AGO I HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT CAUSED BY MY CAR LURCHING FORWARD DURING BREAKING WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE LEXUS OF WATERTOWN DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I REPORTED THAT I THOUGHT THE ISSUE MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE REGULAR BRAKE. IT SEEMED LIKE THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS TURNED OFF SLIGHTLY BEFORE THE REGULAR BRAKING SYSTEM KICKED IN CAUSING A GAP IN THE BRAKING THAT WAS PERCEIVED BY ME TO BE A "LURCHING FORWARD". OF COURSE, WHAT IT WAS A DECREASE IN DECELERATION THAT APPEARED BE ACCELERATION. IN ANY EVENT, THE DEALER SAID HE CHECKED THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WOULD SAY FROM THAT TIME UNTIL NOW I HAD ABOUT ONE OR TWO INSTANCES OF THIS LURCHING PER MONTH. I AM VERY USED TO HYBRIDS AND CURRENTLY OWN A PRIUS AS WELL, SO I KNOW THE IDIOSYNCRATIC NATURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. HOWEVER, AFTER THE RECENT CASCADE OF REPORTS ON PROBLEMS WITH THE PRIUS I CALLED MY DEALER AGAIN AND TOLD THEM, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE LEXUS HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY LEXUS HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTS OF PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE I WAS TOLD NO, HOWEVER, THE WORDING OF THE ANSWER WAS GUARDED. TODAY, I HAD ANOTHER LURCHING EVENT. APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, ON A SMOOTH, DRY ROAD I LURCHED FORWARD AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. IF A PEDESTRIAN WERE CROSSING THE STREET AT THE TIME I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY, HOPEFULLY NOT DEATH. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CONTACTED MY LEXUS DEALER TO RELAY THIS ISSUE TODAY AND SAY WE MUST DO THE RIGHT THING. THEY DID NOT RESPOND, SO I AM MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS FORMAL COMPLAINT BEFORE MORE SERIOUS HARM IS DONE. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. Mileage was 76000 miles.

BRAKE SLIPPAGE ON 2006 LEXUS RX400H - I BOUGHT THIS NEW IN 2005 AND EVER SINCE THEN, WE'VE SEEN THE SAME KIND OF BRAKE SLIPPAGE THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE BEEN REPORTING. WHEN WE'RE BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LUNGE AS IF THE BRAKES STOPPED GRABBING OR SLIPPED. THE CAR DOES COME TO A STOP WITH CONTINUED PRESSURE BUT THE SUDDEN FEELING OF ACCELERATION IS MOST DISCONCERTING.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Mar 02, 2010.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL . MY 2006 LEXUS RX 400H HAS EXPERIENCED A VIBRATION DURING ACCELERATION. IT SEEMS TO STALL THE ENGINE. BRING THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR CHECKING. THE DEALER SAID MY VEHICLE USES INCORRECT GRADE OF GASOLINE OR NOT GOOD QUALITY GASOLINE AND RECOMMEND THAT I SHALL ALWAYS USE BETTER QUALITY GASOLINE, I.E. GASOLINE FROM SHELL. THE VIBRATION IS CAUSED BY THE MISFIRE. SUBSEQUENTLY USING THE GASOLINE FROM SHELL AND THE VIBRATION SEEMS TO BE REDUCED OR GO AWAY. LATER ON, TRY TO USE A DIFFERENT BRAND OF GASOLINE (SAME GRADE, PREMIUM) AND THE VIBRATION COMES BACK. IT SEEMS THE VIBRATION HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TIMING OF IGNITION WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE THAT THE DESIGN OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE MODELING IS BASED ON CERTAIN BRAND OF GASOLINE OR THE DESIGN MARGIN IS SO TIGHT THAT THE IGNITION TIMING DOES NOT WORK WITH THE GASOLINE THAT IS SLIGHT DEVIATED FROM THE GASOLINE THAT LEXUS USES TO MAKE THE DESIGN. IF I DRIVE THE CAR LONG DISTANCE OR OUT OF TOWN AND CAN NOT FIND THE GAS STATION THAT SELL THE GASOLINE WHICH PRODUCE NO VIBRATION, THEN, I COULD RUN INTO A SERIOUS SITUATION THAT MY VEHICLE COULD BE STALLED OR BROKEN DOWN DUE TO SEVERE VIBRATION. *TR.Mileage was 46100 miles. Lexus Rx400h 2006 problem was reported in BELLEVUE, WA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 25 mph.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2010.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT BRAKING PROBLEM IN MY 2006 LEXUS RX400H AS DESCRIBED IN RECENT "CAR GUYS" COLUMN. WHILE COASTING TO A STOP WITH FOOT LIGHTLY ON BRAKE PEDAL, IF I SUDDENLY STEP HARDER ON BRAKE, IT SEEMS TO DISENGAGE FOR A SECOND BEFORE THE BRAKE TAKES HOLD AGAIN. MY GUESS, SAME AS THE CAR GUYS, IS THAT THERE IS A SLIGHT DELAY IN SWITCHING FROM REGENERATIVE BRAKING TO REGULAR FRICTION BRAKING. IT IS DISCONCERTING, BUT SOMETHING I CAN LIVE WITH AS I AM A CAUTIOUS DRIVER -- LEAVE PLENTY OF FOLLOWING DISTANCE, ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY, AT VARIOUS TIMES, SO "INCIDENT DATE" IS FICTITIOUS JUST TO GET THROUGH THIS FORM. *TR.Mileage was 1000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJHW31U960.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 25, 2010.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . DEAD STARTER BATTERY - 1. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW (WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS) THE STARTER BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD IF WE DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR 4 OR MORE DAYS (OBVIOUSLY NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE WHERE IT WOULD SIT WITHOUT A CHARGER NEARBY LIKE TO AN AIRPORT). LEXUS HAS REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES BUT JUST 1 MONTH AGO REPLACED IT AGAIN AND NOW AFTER A 1 WEEK TRIP TO CANCUN BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. LEXUS PRETENDS TO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM BUT MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT IS OFTEN MUCH WORSE WHERE THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING. MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME SERIES OF PROBLEMS ULTIMATELY NEED TO HAVE THE INVERTER REPLACED WHICH IS A $9K PLUS PART (SO FAR IT SEEMS WHEN ITS PROVED TO LEXUS THEY DO THIS AT NO CHARGE -- BUT MINE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY). 2. PROBLEM ALWAYS OCCURS IF THE CAR SITS WITHOUT BEING STARTED FOR MORE THAN 4 DAYS. 3. THEY HAVE REPLACED BATTERY 3 TIMES. WE ARE AFRAID THAT OUR PROBLEM WILL ESCALATE AND MY WIFE WILL BE DRIVING WITH OUR 8 & 10 YEAR OLD CHILDREN AND THE BATTERY SYSTEM WILL FAIL CAUSING THE ENTIRE CAR TO SHUT DOWN AND SHE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO STEER TO SAFETY WHEN BRAKE AND STEERING ARE NOT WORKING. IT IS UNFAIR FOR US TO POTENTIALLY HAVE TO SELL THE VEHICLE AT A HUGE LOSS TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE (AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE THE PROBLEM). *TR.Mileage was 51000 miles.

THE 2006 LEXUS RX400H HAS CONTINUOUSLY DEMONSTRATED EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE INSIDE FRONT TIRE WEAR. THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TIRES WERE REPORTED AS WORN OUT AT A 10K MILE DEALER INSPECTION, AND THAT IS AFTER AN INSPECTION AT 5K MILES BROUGHT NO PROBLEMS TO MY ATTENTION. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES, ON THE THIRD SET OF TIRES, WITH REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO ALIGN THE FRONT END AND RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, THE ISSUE APPEARS TO REMAIN. THIS VEHICLE DESTROYS FRONT TIRES AT A RATE THAT WILL TAKE CONSUMERS BY EXTREME SURPRISE AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS TRAFFIC INCIDENTS DUE TO FRONT TIRE FAILURE. TIRES WITH A LOWER SPEED RATING DO SEEM TO IMPROVE LIFE, AS I HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST SET OF TIRES (EACH SET TRIED HAS BEEN DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER WITH HIGHER LIFE RATINGS); HOWEVER IT DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE SINCE THE LIFE OF THE TIRES IS STILL BEING DEMONSTRATED TO BE WELL LESS THAN HALF THAT EXPECTED. *TR.Mileage was 10000 miles.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 17, 2011.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM: INVERTER . THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM INVOLVES HYBRID INVERTERS IN LEXUS HYBRID VEHICLES. THIS PARTICULAR CASE INVOLVES A 2006 LEXUS RX400H VEHICLE WITH ABOUT 109,000 MILES ON IT THAT HAD RECEIVED ALL RECOMMENDED, SCHEDULED, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. IN THE COURSE OF NORMAL DRIVING, ALL POWER TO PROPEL THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY AND ABRUPTLY VANISHED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE CONCOMITANTLY LOST POWER STEERING AND SKID CONTROL AS EVIDENCED BY NOTICES ON THE DASH. FORTUNATELY IN THIS CASE, MOMENTUM ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CAR WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL AND MANUALLY PUSHED OFF THE ROAD. LATER IT WAS TOWED A GREAT DISTANCE TO THE DEALER, AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE, THE DEALER BEING THE ONLY PLACE CAPABLE OF THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. THE DEALER FOUND THE HYBRID INVERTER FAULTY. NO REASON FOR THE FAILURE COULD BE PROVIDED. THE WARRANTY NO LONGER APPLIED THEREFORE THE COST OF REPAIR WAS QUOTED AS AN ASTONISHING $9,000.00 ! TOYOTA EVENTUALLY AGREED TO PAY THE DEALER FOR THE PART, BUT NOT ITS INSTALLATION. THE FAULTY PART WAS NOT RETURNED. SHOULD THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT NOT PROVE ISOLATED, SUCH ABRUPT AND UNCONTROLLED POWER LOSS RENDERS ALL THESE VEHICLES UNTRUSTWORTHY AT MINIMUM, AND RAISES POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC SAFETY CONCERNS DEPENDENT ON CONDITIONS THAT INCLUDE WHERE AND WHEN HYBRID INVERTER FAILURE AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS SUDDENLY OCCURS. *TR.Mileage was 109000 miles.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 Power Train Report #10579631

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Mar 12, 2014.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN . THE CAR IS A HYBRID. IT WOULD NOT START (THE READY LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON), THEREFORE IT WAS INOPERABLE. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS PARKED AND DID NOT DIE WHILE DRIVING. IF IT WOULD HAVE DIED WHILE DRIVING, MANY DANGEROUS POSSIBILITIES COULD HAVE INCURRED. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A LEXUS DEALER IN COLUMBUS, THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS WATER IN THE HYBRID BATTERY AREA. AFTER LENGTHY DISCUSSION WITH LEXUS SERVICE PERSONNEL, THEY CONCLUDED THAT "WELDS" NEAR THE HATCH HINGES HAD COME APART, WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO SEEP INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR TO THE HYBRID ELECTRONIC CONTROLS. LEXUS SERVICE HAD EXPERIENCE THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE, AND HAD GUESSED AT A VARIETY OF REASONS (SUCH AS EXCESSIVE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE HATCH, WIND CATCHING THE HATCH WHILE IT WAS OPEN, AND OTHER LAME REASONS). THERE IS NO TICKER ON THE HATCH TO COUNT HOW MANY TIMES IT WAS OPENED NOR WHAT THERE ANY GUST OF WIND THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSE THE WELDS, TWO WELDS, TO BREAK ALLOWING WATER TO SEEP INTO THE CAR. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BEFORE, THAT THERE IS EITHER A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, AN ENGINEERING ISSUE, OR BOTH. I AM NEITHER AN EXPERT IN THESE AREAS, BUT DO HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE. LEXUS CORPORATE OR THE DEALER WOULD NOT CONFESS TO THE WRONGDOING AND THEREFORE I HAD TO SHELL OUT OVER $1600 IN REPAIRS. THEY WANTED ANOTHER $1100 TO RE-WELD THE 3 INCH GAP ON BOTH SIDES WITH PAINTING INCLUDED. DUE TO THE EXPENSE, I HAD TO OPT FOR USING SILICONE TO SEAL THE GAPS AND AM FORCED TO DRIVE THE CAR IN DRY WEATHER. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 104000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJHW31U260. Lexus Rx400h 2006 problem was reported in NEWARK, OH. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

LEXUS RX400H 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 10, 2014.LEXUS RX400H 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . HAVING ENJOYED OWNING A LEXUS RX300, I MADE A HUGE "INVESTMENT" AND PURCHASED THE 2006 RX400H. IN APRIL OF 2014, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM. I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE AS SUGGESTED BY THE LEXUS DEALER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THE CARPET INSIDE THE CABIN AREA WAS SOAKING WET! THE CAR HAD BEEN OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN WITH THE WINDOWS, SUNROOF AND DOORS CLOSED. ALSO, I TAKE THE CAR TO AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH ON A REGULAR BASIS. WHILE LOADING THE CAR ON TO THE JERR-DAN TOW TRUCK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER POURED OUT OF THE REAR TRUNK AREA. THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR WAS AMAZED AT THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WAS POURING ONTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LEXUS DEALER. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, A LEAK IN THE REAR HATCH AREA WAS FOUND TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE WATER. THERE APPARENTLY IS A METAL SEAM WHERE THE WELDS DO NOT HOLD UP OR WERE NOT WELDED PROPERLY. WATER COLLECTED IN THE HYBRID BATTERY AREA CAUSING OVER $7000 DAMAGE. OF COURSE, LUCKILY FOR LEXUS, THE VEHICLE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE ONLY RECOURSE I HAD WAS TO MAKE A CLAIM TO MY INSURANCE, WHICH ONLY COVERED THE DAMAGES BUT NOT THE CAUSE. MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES ARE APPROXIMATELY $3000. WATER LEAKING FROM THE OUTSIDE INTO THE CABIN OF A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ONE OF THIS PRICE, IS UNACCEPTABLE. AND TO HAVE WATER COLLECT INTO THE "HEART" OF THE VEHICLE AND RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE IS FRIGHTENING. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON AN ISOLATED ROAD OR A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE SUDDENLY QUIT. LEXUS KNEW ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM BUT DID NOT ADVISE THEIR CUSTOMERS TO WATCH FOR ANY SIGNS OF MOISTURE. THE REPAIR TO THE POPPED SEAM COULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY ANY BODY SHOP OR, I'M TOLD, THE USE OF A GOOD QUALITY SILICONE.

AND TO HAVE WATER COLLECT INTO THE "HEART" OF THE VEHICLE AND RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE IS FRIGHTENING. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON AN ISOLATED ROAD OR A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE SUDDENLY QUIT. LEXUS KNEW ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM BUT DID NOT ADVISE THEIR CUSTOMERS TO WATCH FOR ANY SIGNS OF MOISTURE. THE REPAIR TO THE POPPED SEAM COULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY ANY BODY SHOP OR, I'M TOLD, THE USE OF A GOOD QUALITY SILICONE. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM 3/10/2009 THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM: TSB-L-SB0019-09 REV 1. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 90000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJHW31U160. Lexus Rx400h 2006 problem was reported in COLUMBIA, PA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.
