HELLO, THIS COMPLAINT IS NOT OF LEXUS VEHICLE I OWN. I AM FILING THE COMPLIANT ABOUT THE FIRESTONE DESTINATION LE 2 TIRES I PURCHASED FROM LOCAL FIRESTONE STORE COUPLE YEARS AGAIN. I PURCHASE 5 TIRES INCLUDING A FULL SIZE SPARE. I DID FIRST TIRE ROTATION THIS MONTH AT THE SAME STORE LOCATION. THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY. THE BRAND NEW SPARE TIRE ROTATED TO THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE HAD A SUDDEN BLOW OUT. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. BY THE TIME I STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER, ON SIDE OF THE TREAD WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE WALL. I THINK THE TIRE HAS MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND WOULD LIKE TO REPORT TO YOU. IN CASE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD NOTIFY OTHER CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PARKING MY CAR (GOING SLOW) IN FRONT OF A DRY CLEANERS AND SUDDENLY THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF AND ACCELERATED RIGHT THROUGH THE STORE FRONT. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SHOCKED AND SCARED IN MY LIFE. DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE CAR MOVING SO FAST, I WAS NOT ABLE TO REACH THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS HURT, SINCE IT WAS A SUNDAY AND THE STORE WAS CLOSED. WITHOUT MUCH TIME TO THINK, I TOLD THE POLICE THAT MY SHOE MUST HAVE GOTTEN CAUGHT ON THE PEDAL. HOWEVER, THE MORE TIME I HAVE HAD TO THINK ABOUT IT, I DO NOT RECALL MY SHOE GETTING CAUGHT ON THE PEDAL. THIS WAS THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK OF AT THE TIME. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WITH THE TOYOTA LEXUS INCLUDE THE RX 330 MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 LEXUS RX330. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE RADIATOR FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT THE VEHICLE HAD OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE RADIATOR ONTO THE GROUND. CROWN LEXUS (1125 SOUTH KETTERING DRIVE, ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA 91761, (909) 480-4095) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CAR WAS PARKED AND A FIRE BROKE OUT UNDERNEATH THE CAR. FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT IT OUT AND SAID THERE WAS LEAKAGE, BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. I HAD CAR TOWED TO LEXUS DEALER IN LEXINGTON KY.

LEXUS HAD A RECALL TO REPAIR CRACKS RAPIDLY DEVELOPING IN THE DASHBOARD. WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL HAVING CANCER SURGERY. THE DATE FOR THE RECALL HAD JUST PASSED. I CALLED LEXUS AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE CAR TO9 THE DEALER. THE DEALER FOUND THE PROBLEM AND WROTE OF AN ESTIMATE TO SUMMIT FROM HEADQUARTERS FOR COVERAGE. HEADQUARTERS GOT BACK TO ME AND SAID I WAS TOO LATE TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS WAS AFTER THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD. I WROTE TO THE CEO OF LEXUS USA AND NEVER EVEN GOT THE COURTESY OF A REPLY. NOW THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING WORSE.

VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH TWO-PIECE STYLE LUG NUTS CONSISTING OF A PHYSICAL LUG NUT AND A DECORATIVE CAP. LUG NUTS ARE 21MM IN SIZE. OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY IN HUMID CLIMATES OR WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, LUG NUTS SWELL BETWEEN DECORATIVE CAP AND PHYSICAL LUG NUT DUE TO CORROSION. SWELLING CAN CAUSE 21MM TOOLS INCLUDING VEHICLE LUG WRENCH TO NOT FIT ON LUG NUT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE HAVING A FLAT TIRE WITH THIS ISSUE CAN LEAD TO BEING UNABLE TO REMOVE LUG NUTS FROM VEHICLE
