2019 Lexus RX350

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 ON A CITY STREET THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED. I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR AND IN DOWNTOWN CITY TRAFFIC WITH HONKING CARS BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. A FEW DAYS AFTER THIS INCIDENT, WHILE DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY HWY AT 55MPH THE CAR ENGINE WAS SKIPPING AS IF ABOUT TO STALL. I HAD A PASSENGER IN MY CAR WHO EXPERIENCED THIS ROUGH RIDE AND MADE A COMMENT ABOUT IT. A FEW DAYS LATER, ON MARCH 8,2020, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM LEXUS ENFORM SERVICES WITH A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT INFORMING ME THAT MY VEHICLE REQUIRES ATTENTION DUE TO A SAFETY RECALL 20LA01. WHEN I LEASED MY VEHICLE, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS RECALL WHICH GOES BACK TO 01/13/2020. SAFETY IS A TOP CONCERN FOR ME AND I FULLY COMMUNICATED THIS TO THE SALESPERSON WHEN I LEASED MY CAR BUT I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS RECALL AT THAT TIME. I HAVE EXACTLY 2800 MILES ON MY CAR. I AM NOT ABLE TO USE IT BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LEXUS DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY AVAILABLE TO FIX THE LOW -PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT. I WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE NOT ONE THAT INCREASES THE RISK OF HAVING A CRASH.

ON JAN 13, 2020 LEXUS ANNOUNCED THAT MY 2019 RX350 HAS A LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP THAT COULD FAIL RESULTING IN AN INCREASE IN THE RISK OF A CRASH. LEXUS HAS INFORMED ME THAT A FIX IS NOT AVAILABLE. I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER ON JAN. 27, 2020. THE CAR IS STILL THERE AFTER 6 WEEKS. THERE IS STILL NOT FIX TO THE PROBLEM AND I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR WITH THIS ISSUE. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
