2017 LEXUS RC Complaints

I have a Lexus rcf 2017. There’s a safety recall for a low pressure fuel pump. This recall has come out years later after the car has been bought. I am the 3rd owner. I bought the car in 2026. I bought the car with aftermarket work done on it, but I didn’t think there would be any recalls. The LPFP has wires hooked up to another fuel pump in the trunk for handling performance. With that said, Lexus didn’t want to do the recall. I asked all 3 numbers I called if I can just be given the part, and I sign a waiver that I get a 1 time item and Lexus has 0 responsibility for me getting it installed somewhere else. They said no and that’s there’s laws. I don’t get the rules. Why does a Lexus technician have to do the recall by law? If Lexus created a defected part, then they had to opportunity the first time to make the part right. Why should I trust a technician to do right the 2nd time around? Also, if it’s for safety, and if it’s from Lexus, why can’t they just give me the part and I sign a 1 time waiver that’s it’s not Lexus problem? Lexus owes me a part, and now instead of caring about my safety, they want to take 550 bucks from me so I can buy the part they defected and go get it installed elsewhere. It’s crazy. Look, I understand that there’s laws… but this is a late recall. It’s not like the recall happened within the first year of ownership. Lexus should be able to give me the part. It’s selfish to not do so. This isn’t about a law…. It’s right vs wrong. It’s a late recall. Lexus owes me a part. They choose not do it. The recall is way late after some people out there have done stuff to their cars by now. This is straight robbery. So Lexus would rather take more money from me, then worry about my safety. A Lexus technician installing it doesn’t make it safer at all. Technicians mess up all of the time (my car wouldn’t start on another service one time) The law saying on it Lexus technicians can do the remedy… why would I trust them the 2nd time around on stuff?

Vehicle does had a hard time starting and now does not start. Research indicates this is a known problem on this vehicle but my vehicle doesn’t seem to be included in the recall The main recall for the Lexus RC200t is due to a failing low-pressure fuel pump, which can cause the engine to stall while driving.

Both rear shock absorbers failed simultaneously, with no rebound control. Shock failure made the vehicle very difficult to control on any uneven surface, especially while cornering. Yes, problem was confirmed by dealer and both rear shocks were replaced. Inspected by dealer No warning lights or other indications of failure.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER 6 MONTHS TO GET RECALL HANDLED AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO CALL BACK IN 2-3 WEEKS. IVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 6 MONTHS AND STILL NO PARTS IN STOCK

COLLISION BRAKE WARNING COMES FOR A SECOND ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING DURING RAIN. IVE REPORTED THIS TO DEALER MUILTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND SLIPS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN MAKING TURN AND GIVING GAS, IT STARTS TO BUCK LIKE A HORSE . AGAIN DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE

THE BREAK PADS TO MY 2017 LEXUS RC 200T ARE GRINDING INTO MY ROTORS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES (4) AT FIRST I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR THE ISSUE, WITH THE DEALER MAKING A RIDICULOUS CLAIM THAT A SMALL PEBBLE JUMPED IN BETWEEN MY BREAK PAD AND ROTORS. THE SECOND TIME THEY TOOK RESPONSIBILITY AND FILED A GOODWILL CLAIM AND REPLACED BRAKES AND DISCS. THIRD TIME THEY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, REPLACED BREAKS AND DISCS. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR THE SAME THING. I'VE TOLD THEM THAT THEIR BREAK PAD SUPPLIER HAS GOT TO BE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE TECHNICIANS FIND THAT THE BREAK PADS HAVE LARGE METAL SHARDS WITHIN THE BREAK PAD WHICH KEEP GRINDING INTO THE DISCS RESULTING IN VERY UNSAFE BREAKING PERFORMANCE. I WASN'T GOING TO FILE THIS CLAIM SINCE THEY ARE VERY NICE ABOUT TRYING TO RESOLVE MY PROBLEM BUT TODAY I RECEIVED A CALL THAT SOUNDED SHADY WITH THE FIRST THING BEING SAID THAT THIS WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE OR CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR STILL STOPS AS INTENDED, WELL, THAT'S BOGUS. A VEHICLE BRAKES SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TO GRIND INTO THE DISCS IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP SAFELY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

THERE ARE OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AREA. MY HUSBAND WEARS A SIZE 12 SHOE. WHEN HE PRESSES DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS SHOE ENCOUNTERS AN OBSTRUCTION. HE MOVES HIS FOOT OVER TO THE LEFT A LITTLE AND CAN GET THE PEDAL DOWN BUT THEN THE TIP OF HIS TOE GETS CAUGHT IN A BOLT OR SOMETHING ABOVE THE TOP OF THE PEDAL. WE HAVE CONTACTED LEXUS AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN!!!
