| Foot of backseat passenger sitting behind the driver was trapped and painfully mashed under seat positioning mechanism when seat automatically moved back when car ignition was turned off. there needs to be a sensor that detects when seat motion is obstructed and stops or reverses seat motion rather than crushing whatever is in the way including body parts. *tr | |||

| 10/28/2012 | 18000 | ||
| Vehicle has been involved in multiple near misses resulting from lateral mirrors bulkiness and lack of visibility for driver when turning left or right in an intersection. the most recent incident resulted in a collision with another vehicle that had clear road right causing significant damage to both vehicles front ends, the deployment of the air bag system of the other vehicle. the position of the lateral mirrors which are huge and the roof support corner side bar of the vehicle makes it to have a blind spot where you simply are not able to see vehicle that is closely approaching in the other direction. in order to avoid this issue the driver needs to move side-front at all times when turning left or right.. there have been several multiple near misses because the extra precaution the driver has exercised. i believe this is an important safety concern that lexus needs to take care of immediately. *tr | |||
