“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 LEXUS LS460. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A BURNT ODOR DEVELOPED INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW THE ORIGIN OF THE ODOR. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR PANEL NEAR THE LOCATION OF THE COURTESY LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SMALL FIRE AROUND THE LIGHT, WHICH DAMAGED THE LEATHER ON THE DOOR PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A FIELD INVESTIGATOR WHO DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO WORKMANSHIP DEFECTS FROM THE FACTORY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,306.”

“DRIVING IN LAS VEGAS ON PARADISE RD (NORTH), SOMEWHERE AROUND E DESERT INN RD INTERSECTION. MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 30-35 MPH. THERE WERE STEEL PLATES ON THE ROAD. PRE-CRASH SYSTEM OF MY LEXUS SUDDENLY ACTIVATED WITHOUT ANY REASON (MAXIMUM BREAK STRENGHT, SEAT BELTS ALSO TIGHTENED) AND COMPLETELY STOPPED THE CAR. IT WAS EXTREMELY SCARRY. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT LOOKS SIMILAR TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2013-2015 LEXUS ES/TOYOTA AVALON (RESOLVED BY A RECALL).”
