   WE TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR IS COLD IT DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND GETTING WORSE SINCE IT WAS THERE FOR A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE. DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM STATING THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER SHOWS NO ERROR CODES, WHILE IGNORING THE FACT WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE THE VEHICLE JERKS AND THE GEAR LEVER REQUIRES A LOT OF FORCE TO MOVE INTO DESIRED GEAR. DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR THE CAR OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, INSTEAD THEY TRIED TO SELL ME A $875 OIL CHANGE. DEALER IS ALSO REFUSING TO SEND ME ANY PAPERWORK THAT MY CAR WAS THERE EVEN AFTER CALLING MANY TIMES TO REQUEST IT, THEY PROMISE TO SEND IT THAT DAY AND NEVER SEND IT BECAUSE "THEY ARE BUSY". SERVICE ADVISOR DAVID ( TAOU) WAS VERY ARROGANT, CONDESCENDING AND DISHONEST.

   ON A RECENT 2500 MILE TRIP ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE ON INTERSTATE HIWAYS AND PASSING A VEHICLE THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY WITH WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS GOING OFF. THIS OCCURRED WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES ANYWHERE AROUND FOR A QUARTER MILE OR MORE. ON ONE OCCASION IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WITH NO VEHICLES IN SIGHT. LEXUS SPECIAL TECH INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND HAD SOME CALIBRATIONS PERFORMED BUT THEY WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT THEY FOUND IN DATA CAPTURED BY THE VEHICLE COMPUTER OR WHAT ACTIONS THEY TOOK AND WHY THEY THINK THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

6. Filed Jul 4, 2020Failure Jul 3, 2020900 milesChantilly, VAEngine, Fuel/propulsion system, Service brakes

   CAR WAS PDI AND DELIVERED ON 06/14/20 WITH AN OPEN RECALL 20LA01 THAT WAS LIKELY TO BE A LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE. EVEN AFTER PDI WAS PERFORMED, THE BREAKS WERE DISFUNCTIONAL, SO HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE ON 06/19/20. LEXUS FOUND THAT ROTORS REQUIRED RESURFACING TO FIX THE BREAKS AND AT THE SAME TIME COMPLETED THE OPEN RECALL 20LA01. HOWEVER ON 07/03/20, THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY TRAFFIC PUTTING THE PAX THRU A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION. CAR HAS BEEN FINALLY TOWED TO THE SERVICE AND I AM VERBALLY PROMISED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN FIXED TO NOT PRESENT ANY LIFE THREATENING ISSUES. SINCE IT IS JUST 15 DAYS OF PURCHASE AND VEHICLE BEEN INTO THE SERVICE REVIEW FOR 3 TIMES WITH SOME LIFE-THREATENING OPEN ISSUES, I AM REQUESTING LEXUS TO EITHER REFUND OR PROVIDE ME A REPLACEMENT. *TR

   WHILE DRIVING, I'VE BEEN ENCOUNTERING HARD GEAR UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS. I HAVE NOTIFIED MY LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IS NORMAL. THIS IS MY 3RD CAR I BOUGHT AND THE FIRST TIME I'VE ENCOUNTERED SUCH AN ISSUE. ISSUE USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN SPEEDS RANGE BETWEEN 50-70 MPH REGARDLESS OF WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, GIVEN THAT THE CAR IS STILL PRETTY NEW.
