TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 LEXUS HS 250 HYBRID. AFTER THE PARK BRAKE BUTTON WAS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED AWAY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A WALL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A TOE INJURY THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. ON THE SAME DAY,THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT HEADLIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF
BRAKE AND STEERING MALFUNCTION. I HAD STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A CITY STREET WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STARTED OFF AND THERE WAS A VERY SLIGHT CURVE IN THE ROAD. AS I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT, I KEPT GOING TO THE RIGHT. I TRIED TO STEER THE CAR BACK BUT IT CONTINUED TO GO TO THE RIGHT. I HIT THE BRAKES AND I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES. THERE WAS A SEMI COMING IN THE RIGHT LANE WHO COULD NOT AVOID HITTING ME. THE IMPACT RESULTED IN ME DOING A 360, JUMP
DURING ALIGNMENT, DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TOE ARM WAS BROKEN BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LEXUS DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED, BUT STATED THERE WAS SEVERE CORROSION WHICH CAUSED THE BOLT TO BECOME SEIZED. THE BOLT HAD TO BE WELDED OFF. I SEE THE 2010 MODELS ARE SHOWING THE SAME ISSUES.
