There was no impact or event that should have caused an airbag deployment. The deployment occurred with significant force and caused damage inside the vehicle.

While I was driving, my sunroof on the top exploded. There was no rock impact, no external or internal impact. I called Lexus and they told me it’s not covered. The Lexus representative said to submit a claim with triple A cus it’ll be at least 5k to take out everything and replace it. They won’t fix it themselves.

2023 LEXUS IS
Filed Aug 26, 2026
I am reporting recurring infotainment, display, audio, and related electrical malfunctions with my vehicle that have continued despite multiple visits and repair attempts by an authorized Lexus dealership. The problems began when the vehicle was relatively new and have continued intermittently. While driving, the vehicle's audio system can suddenly cut out completely at different volume levels and without warning. When this occurs, normal audio functions are lost and the system generally does…

2012 LEXUS IS
Filed Aug 6, 2026
The dashboard (instrument panel) on this 2012 Lexus IS 250 has degraded and deteriorated, developing a shiny, reflective surface. In daylight and bright conditions, this degraded surface reflects onto the windshield and produces a significant glare that obstructs the driver's view of the road. The glare materially impairs forward visibility and makes safe operation of the vehicle dangerous, particularly given the driver's reduced tolerance for compromised visibility. This is a known and…
2013 LEXUS IS
Filed Aug 6, 2026
2013 Lexus IS 350C with approximately 56,000 miles experienced engine smoking on startup. The vehicle has been regularly maintained according to the manufacturer's recommended service schedule. The Lexus dealership diagnosed oil entering the combustion chamber and documented that the cylinder walls are scratched, allowing oil to pass the oil-control piston rings. Based on the internal engine damage, the Lexus dealer has recommended complete engine replacement. I am concerned that this type of…
