The liftgate on our 2007 Lexus RX350 has a very hazardous safety issue. When pushing the auto liftgate button in the car to open the liftgate it opens for a couple of seconds but then without warning will start to shut on its own. There is no safety feature that keeps if from closing even if you are standing there emptying groceries, etc. Both my son and I almost got our heads crushed by the liftgate coming down on us. The car is stationary when this happens. It does not happen if the liftgate is opened manually. We feel that this is a huge saftety concern for anyone who does not know to move away because the liftgate will come right down on your head.

Brakes did not apply as expected, experiencing a significant "push" while braking at low speed. It was so obvious that I had to step on the brake pedal to keep the car from running out into the car in front. This one time I crashed into front car. I took it to dealer to check the brakes, and he is saying they are hybrid and thats how they work. This is not acceptable as the brakes are meant to stop the vehicle with immediate effect. This is not happening with my rx 400H, I bought this car in Sep 2014 and within 2 months I met with accident. I never had history of accident with other cars.
