Safety Features

2015 Lexus NX200T SUV AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2015 Lexus NX200T SUV AWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"12-volt battery in trunk area shorted/failed. this resulted in the following dangerous conditions: 1. inability to open the trunk from inside or outside the vehicle (there is no emergency trunk release in this vehicle, power assisted trunk release disables mechanical door opening after battery failure). 2. engaged child locks did not release with battery failure, so passenger doors were also nonfunctional for exiting the vehicle. 3. horn was disabled, with no way to signal for help. these safety defects were fortunately discovered in my garage as i was attempting to connect a charger to the 12-volt battery located in the trunk. while climbing into the back seat, i inadvertently slid the child lock lever on the side of the door panel into the locked position. i removed the headrests to gain access to the trunk because the trunk door could not be opened from the exterior of the vehicle. i then noted that there is not emergency trunk release lever in the trunk area. once the passenger door closed, the only exit from car was the front doors. worse still, the car horn is disabled with battery failure, eliminating the possibility of signaling for help. shorting of the 12-volt battery in the lexus nx 300h, turns this vehicle into a safety hazard."

"just over 50,000 miles. a/c blowing very hot air, even after a/c turned off. not getting out side air. inside temperature would go above 90 degrees f. no engine warnings and any other short of indication."
Components Involved: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Date of incident: 2019-04-10
Complaint:
"in november of last year (2017) the suv started blowing extremely hot air out of the hvac system despite it set for the lowest temperature possible. all attempts to keep it from blowing hot air were unsuccessful and the suv had to be taken in to the dealership, and the "accuators" had to be replaced in the system. this week the same exact thing happened again. the suv had to be taken immediately to the dealership and the same exact repair was performed. this may not seem like a big safety issue but to us here in arizona this is an extremely dangerous situation as your car can get to 150-200 degrees if it sits in the sun for an hour and we have a 10 month old infant. if we were forced to transport her a long distance with the a/c blowing the hottest air possible into an already scorching car it could be life-threatening."
