2019 Lexus RX - FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Failure Complaint (#b16c68)

2019 Lexus RX

  • Date of Incident: Nov-20, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Nov-26, 2024
  • Failed components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

For some unknown reason the car will suddenly display multiple warning lights, check engine, service needed, traction control off/inactive then the car will go into reduced engine power mode which prevents acceleration and causes the car to feel like it’s going to stall or shut off. This has happened several times on major high speed highways causing other cars to slam on their breaks, drive recklessly to avoid my failing car. My daughter has been in the car several times when this happened and it took everything in my power to not collide with another vehicle. We have taken the car to the lexus dealership every time and they have tried to fix the car over a dozen times but it keeps happening. They don’t seem to know the issue or cause, trying several different solutions. How can a car manufacturer not know what is wrong with their own car not how to fix it? What am i supposed to do, just keep driving it and pray an accident never happens? There is no warning when this happens and no way to keep the car from swiftly decelerating or keep the car from using “minimal engine power” which i’m to,d is to protect the engine but i’m more worried about us. The date below is for the most recent incident.
