1993 LEXUS LS400 Complaints

CONSUMER STATES SHE EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE, SHE TOOK TIRE BACK TO WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THE STORE REPAIRED IT, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE INTO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS THEN ADVISED THAT THE TREAD WAS WORN, CONSUMER WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING CONTINUAL AIR LOSS, WHEN CONSUMER REPLACED THE TIRES SHE WAS ADVISED THAT THE TIRES SHE HAD WERE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES FOR RACING SITUATIONS ONLY NOT FOR NORMAL DRIVING. *JB

I BOUGHT A CAR FROM LEXUS DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 26, LESS THAN 3 MONTH AGO. IT IS A 1993 LEXUS LS400 WITH 67400 MILES ON ODOMETER AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. LAST SUNDAY MY FAMILY: MY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND MYSELF WENT FOR A 4 DAY VACATION TO LAKE SHASTA. IT WAS OUR FIRST LONG TRIP IN LEXUS. UNTIL THEN THERE WERE ONLY UP TO 50 MILES TRIPS. AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS OF DRIVING AT 65-70 MILES PER HOUR SOMETHING HAPPENED. WE HEARD SOMETHING FELL OUT FROM THE CAR AND I BARELY HAD THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR WE SAW THAT THE TREAD OF LEFT REAR TIE IS DESTROYED/MISSING. SOME OTHER PARTS INCLUDING LEFT REAR DOOR ARE DAMAGED/MISSING. I SUPPOSE IT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE RADIUS OF THE TIRE INCREASED WITHOUT THE TREAD. WHEN WE DROVE BACK SEPTEMBER 13 THE SAME HAPPENED WITH THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. AGAIN, AFTER 2 HOURS OF DRIVING AT 65-70 MILES PER OUR WE HEARD A PART FELLING OUT. THE TREAD OF RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS DESTROYED. SOME OTHER PARTS WERE MISSING/DAMAGED/SCRATCHED. BOTH TIRES WERE INSTALLED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY ARE THE SAME MAKE: COOPER LIFELINER CLASSIC II.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/60R16 )

I HAVE A 93 LEXUS LS400 WITH 76,000 MILES. THE WHITE LED SPEEDOMETER POINTER HAS BURNED OUT. THE HENDRICK LEXUS SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I WOULD NEED A NEW SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER COSTING OVER $200 PLUS ABOUT $160 IN LABOR. THIS SEEMS TERRIBLY WRONG TO ME. WITH THE SPEEDOMETER POINTER BURNED OUT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT IS LIKEWISE VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING DURING THE DAY. *AK
