BEFORE THE BACKUP CAMERA IS DISPLAYED, THE SCREEN RISES FROM THE DASH BOARD AND SAYS "LEXUS' FOR 5 SECONDS AND "ENFORM" FOR 5 SECONDS. IN MARCH, I BACKED INTO A MAINTENANCE VEHICLE WHICH CAME UP AFTER I GOT IN MY CAR AND WAS NOT VISIBLE WITH MY MIRRORS. THIS WOULD NOT HAPPENED WITH ANY OTHER BRAND. THE DEALER SAYS IT CANNOT BE CHANGED AND GAVE ME A REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR $927. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE CAMERA. THE DISPLAY SERVES NO PURPOSE, AND THE CARS SH

COMPLETELY GONE. NOTHING HIT MY CAR, NO ROCKS, NO BULLETS... NO BRICKS. THERE WAS NO ONE BESIDE ME AND I WAS ON I-81. HAD I OVER-REACTED, I COULD HAVE CRASHED THE CAR.

A prevalent issue observed in the Lexus CT200h and Toyota Prius V models is the internal leakage of brake accumulators, as they utilize identical part numbers. Consequently, the actuator emits a buzzing sound intermittently as it attempts to maintain the necessary gas pressure within the braking system, ultimately failing due to the leak. Numerous articles addressing this concern are available online, highlighting its significance as a safety issue. Many owners have successfully had Toyota repla

I RECEIVED A LETTER TO CALL LEXUS DEALER TO SCHEDULE A APPOINTMENT TO DO A RECALL ON MY AIR BAGS, I DID CALL AND HAS BEEN 1 YEAR AND THEY DIDN'T CALL BACK TO DO THE RECALL.

The actuator will buzz every few seconds trying to keep pressure in the braking system to a safe operating level of gas pressure to no avail due to this leak in the actuator. After it quits buzzing from shutting the car off, you can hear the air leak hissing the pressure away. There is not much stopping distances when and after this suddenly occurs. In the process, the abs, traction control, brake, a yellow exclamation mark, lights suddenly all come on the dash at once and the brake feels like a

TOOK MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID MY CAR IS BURNING OIL. I HAVE NOTICED MY OIL DOES BURN UP QUICKLY, SMELLS LIKE GAS UPON THE DIPSTICK, I HAVE SEEN NO OIL LEAKS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER SIMILAR MODELS LIKE IN THE PRIUS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 82,000 MILES. I BABY THIS CAR AND TAKE FOR ALL THE APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING.

OUR HORN STOPPED WORKING. WE WERE ADVISED THAT THIS WAS A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY FAILURE, AND THE AIRBAGS ARE LIKELY AFFECTED. TOYOTA INITIATED A RECALL IN 2014 FOR THIS PART, HOWEVER WE ARE TOLD OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL LEXUS HAS YET TO RECALLED OUR CAR TO BE WORKED ON. RECEIVED A POSTCARD INDICATING THEY WILL NOTIFY US WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE CAR IN.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY TK HOLDINGS, INC., THAT MY VEHICLE CONTAINS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR AND IS UNDER RECALL. I HAVE NOTIFIED MY LOCAL DEALER, HENDRICK LEXUS, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THEY HAVE NO DATE WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK ON HIGHWAY 98 BETWEEN NEW AUGUSTA, MS, AND HATTIESBURG, MS, THIS MORNING, MY BACK SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GUNSHOT BECAUSE OF THE SOUND, BUT NO BULLET WAS FOUND. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC. THERE WERE TWO MEN WAITING FOR ME TO PASS SO THEY COULD PULL ACROSS THE INTERSTATE AND THEY STOPPED TO HELP ME. THEY WERE A WITNESS THAT THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC, NO WAY FOR A ROCK TO HAVE BEEN THROWN FROM A PASSING VEHICLE. THE WINDOW SIMPLY EXPLODED. IT MUST HAVE BEEN A WINDOW

2012 LEXUS CT200H HAS THE SAME BRAKE BOOSTER, ASSEMBLY ISSUE ALL 3RD GENERATION TOYOTA PRIUS'S HAVE. THE ABS/BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHTS ALL COME IN, AND BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY IS LIMITED. ATTACHED IS A SCAN OF THE ISSUE, I HAVE SINCE CALLED LEXUS AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE ISSUE.
