Vehicle Blind Spot indicator did not come on while car was on side of Vehicle on trip to Atlanta. If car did not honk we surely would have had an accident. I started to monitor when the light came on and noticed in was extremely inconsistent with respect to how for an approaching vehicle was from ours before activating. Sometimes it would come on 3 or more car lengths before reaching our bumper, sometimes after car was 1/3 of the way past our bumper, sometimes not before car was completely in blindspot or later. I filmed this but was only able to show the caring distances, and could not get an example of completely in blindspot with monitor not activated. Dealer and Lexus refuse to fix issue. Video from I-phone is MAV file and will not upload. I can send it upon request by text or email

I was able to reproduce the issue. When accelerating from a stop, but not yet passing 7 mph (typically 3-5mph registering on the speedometer), then suddenly braking, the brakes do not immediately engage, but rather engage after several seconds have passed. The system/vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle did not stop (as the brakes weren't applied) causing a collision. I am able to reproduce the issue in the vehicle. No inspection has yet taken place. No warning lamps or other vehicle messages appeared prior to or following the braking failure and the resulting collision. This undocumented behavior was not noted prior to the failure resulting in a collision. Normal driving conditions would not expose the failure. Limited video is available upon request.

Driver side airbag cover is open. Previously reported, dealer states that it was open due to dashcam wiring being placed and cover not being closed completely. Dealer closed the cover completely. Today, the cover is open again.

The two side mirrors do not show cars coming up on the side while driving by yellow warning light. It also does not show the turn signal lights when they are turned on left and right. It seems the side sensors are not working.
