I was traveling on I-35 in heavy stop & go traffic, in an area under heavy construction where no shoulder was accessible, when the 18-wheeler in front applied their brakes consistent with the flow of traffic. I applied the brakes, but nothing happened causing me to roll forward and hit the back of the 18-wheeler. After impact, I placed the vehicle in park, & it was not until I pressed park that I believe the brakes became re-engaged. Once out of heavy traffic & safe to do so, I exited the highway, pulled over & restarted the vehicle. I believe the manual brakes failed to engage causing the incident. My safety and the safety of my passengers was put at risk, brakes are an integral part of a v

There are no warning indicators whatsoever for this problem. I’m extremely concerned about an issue with my Lexus 2023 NXH 350. And I’m not the only one! A lot of these cars are experiencing something called “dead pedal” which is when the hybrid system and the gas system don’t know what gear to put the car into… so it doesn’t put you in any gear until it figures it out. It’s an electronics issue. I have had this issue since purchasing the car. I’ve reported this problem every single time I’ve taken my car in for service. I’ve called Lexus every single time it has happened. The only answers I’m getting is that they can’t re-create it so they can’t do nothing

Two year old 22500 miles. Driving down the highway doing around 75 and my sunroof blew up. Just exploded. Nothing hit it, temperature was around 70 degrees. Was about 10 miles into my morning commute. Nothing could have caused this. No impacts, no odd temperature fluctuations. Just a glass failure.
