2006 LEXUS IS 250 Complaints

I HAVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND THE PUBLIC. THE DEALERSHIP HAS FAIL TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS EXTENDED AS WELL. ( CARBON BUILDUP) . THE REGISTRATION HISTORY ON THE VEHICLE IS VERY STRANGE, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ACCURATE, I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE WAS A DEFECT AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS TAMPERED THE VEHICLE TO COVER THE HISTORY. THE VEHICLE SERVICE HISTORY HAS BEEN PURGE AND DELETED FOR UNKNOWN REASON. I AM GETTING DIFFERENT ANSWERS AND NO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM. IT HAS CAUSE ME A LOT OF DISTRESS AND CONCERN, I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO MAKE IT SAFE BUT FROM RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED.
