2006 LEXUS IS Complaints

BEFORE THE AIRBAGE RECALL THE AIRBAGE LIGHT DID NOT CAME ON, NOW SINCE THE AIRBAGE RECALL WAS DONE ON 7/24/20 AT VALLEY LEXUS MODESTO CA. NOW THE AITBAGE LIGHT CAME ON AND I CALL THE VALLEY LEXUS THEY TOLD ME THE AIRBAGE LIGHT IS NOT PART OFF THE AIRBAGE RECALL, AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE PAID FOR DINO, BUT I DID NOT CAUSE THE LIGHT TO CAME ON. SINCE VALLEY LEXUS DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT CAN [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

VEHICLE JUST TURNED OVER 100,000 MILES. 6-2020 UPON A MORNING START, THE VEHICLE HAD TROUBLE STARTING UP ALMOST AS IF IT HAD FUEL STARVATION. I CRANKED THE VEHICLE UP A FEW MORE TIMES IT WAS OK IT TURNED ON. UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAD EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE ACCELERATION , VERY HAD SPUTTERING FROM AND TO STOP LIGHTS THIS WAS FROM MY COMMUTE TO WORK. THE VEHICLE HAD BECOME UNPREDICTABLE, SOME DAYS IT WOULD ACT LIKE THAT SOME DAYS IT WOULDN'T. THIS STARTED TO BOTHER ME AS I RARELY WORRY ABOUT SITUATIONS UNLESS THEY'RE DANGEROUS. LATE 6-2020 ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT ABOUT 5:00PM THE VEHICHLE STARTED SPUTTERING ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY FROM MY HOME. AS I CROSSED THE INTERSECTION OF TAYLOR AND RAILROAD STREET. THE VEHICLE DIED ON ME AT THE INTERSECTION. I HAD THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST THE CAR WITH THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. SO I PROCEEDED TO TURNED IT BACK ON. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF CRANKING THE VEHICLE I HAD DRAINED THE BATTERY COMPLETELY. CAR IS STRANDED, TRAFFIC WAS A HUGE BUILD UP BEHIND ME, VEHICLE WAYS WELL OVER 3000LBS SO I ATTEMPTED TO QUICK CHARGE THE BATTERY, AFTER 10 MINUTES I HAD ALREADY BYSTANDERS HELP ME PUSH THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE, DUE TO THE MASSIVE BUILD UP OF TRAFFIC. 7-2020 AFTER 2 SEPERATE DIAGNOSTICS I HAD REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTOR PUMP AND A COLD START VALVE AT THE ENGINE. CAR WAS RUNNING OK UNTIL MID 7-2020 WHEN IT BEGAN HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AGAIN. AS THIS WAS MY ONLY VEHICLE AT THE MOMENT I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO USE IT ONE WEEK LATER AFTER GOING TO MY MOTHERS HOUSE FROM WORK. THE VEHICLE DECIDED TO SHUT OFF ON ME COMPLETELY THIS TIME ON THE ROAD AT 35 MPH ZONE. CAR SEEMED TO STARVE OF FUEL AND I HAD TO QUICKLY REACT SINCE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND LUCKILY PULLOVER. FORTUNATELY IT WAS A LIGHT DAY OF TRAFFIC AT THE ROAD OF COOK ST. THATS WHEN I HAD ENOUGH, I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND ITS AN ISSUE I CAN'T SOLVE!

THE VEHICLE HAD THE FRONT AIRBAGS REPLACED UNDER A NATIONAL RECALL. AFTER HAVING THE RECALL DONE, I RECEIVED, BY USPS MAIL, A "CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM NOTIFICATION - ZLJ" SENT TO ME FROM THE MANUFACTURER DESCRIBING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AS ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED WITH THE NEW DRIVERS SIDE KNEE AIRBAG INFLATOR TRIGGERING THE SRS LIGHT TO COME ON AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE BASED ON FAULTY CRIMPING. THIS VEHICLE IS A SECOND VEHICLE AND DOES NOT GET DRIVEN VERY OFTEN. IN JUNE OF 2020, I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR. I REMEMBERED THE NOTICE AND CALLED THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD ON JUNE 15TH THAT THE HARNESS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE WARRANTY ENDED ON JUNE 12TH, 2020. THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THE NEW HARNESS THAT WAS INSTALLED UNDER RECALL. I WAS QUOTED $2700 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER INSTALLED A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART, AND ARE NOW REFUSING TO PERFORM THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD BE LIMITED BY MILEAGE, NOT BY TIME, AS THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN A FEW THOUSAND MILES SINCE THE WORK WAS PERFORMED. THE FAULTY CRIMPING IN THE REPLACED HARNESS SHOULD BE A NEW RECALL.

PURCHASED A CAR... OWNER SAID IT HAS 139K MILES ON DASHBOARD CLEAN TITLE NO ACCIDENT AFTER I COMPLETED THE DEAL I DECIDED TO LOOK UP THE CARFAX IT IS STATING 183K MILES I BELIEVE THE THEY DID THE ODOMETER ROLLBACK FRAUD I ALSO CHECKED ON LEXUS SERVICE HISTORY REPORT ALSO STATING 183K IN 03/2017 THE SELLER SAID EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL NO CHANGES WERE MADE
