What owners report
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.

There are no warning indicators whatsoever for this problem. Iâm extremely concerned about an issue with my Lexus 2023 NXH 350. And Iâm not the only one!

Iâve called Lexus every single time it has happened. The only answers Iâm getting is that they canât re-create it so they canât do nothing
