HAVE DONE OIL CHANGES MYSELF AND ALWAYS OBSERVED OIL USAGE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN BURNING OIL. EVERY 2,000 MILES, THE CAR NEEDS A QUART TOP-UP. IF FOLLOWING THE 10,000 MILE OIL CHANGE INTERVAL, THIS CAR WOULD REQUIRE 5 QUARTS TO AVOID A SEIZED OR BLOWN ENGINE.

MY CAR HAS A MELTING DASH THAT LEAVES A STICKY RESIDUE ON MY WINDSHIELD AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD. IT ALSO CAUSES A GLARE WHEN DRIVING IN THE EARLY MORNING OR AT NIGHT WITH STREET LIGHTS.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 2018 AND WITHIN APPROX. A MONTH I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY WHERE MY VEHICLE STALLED WHICH RESULTED IN MAJOR DAMAGES TO MY CAR . I COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULDN'T TURN OFF AND HE STATED IT PROBABLY NEEDED TUNEUP . CAR FELT ROUGH. ACCIDENT RESULTED IN VEHICLE REPAIR AND ME W/O A CAR. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, ENTIRE FRONT CAR SMASHED IN. AFTER VEHICLE WAS RESTORED ENGINE LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS REMAIN ON , HAD TO TAKE CAR TO LEXUS DEALERSHIP (NORTH PARK) WHERE IT WAS MAINTENENCE. WHEN I PICKED IT UP CAR SOUNDED STRANGELY LOUD AND AS I WAS DRIVING OFF THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. NOBODY WAS AVAILABLE TO HELP ME AND I ENDED UP TAKING CAR HOME . THE FOLLOWING DAY I SPOKE TO TWO MANAGERS AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS .MY CAR WAS THEN PICKED UP FROM MY HOME AND TAKEN TO LEXUS DEALERSHIP WHERE ANOTHER THOROUGH INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED. LONG STORY SHORT THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG AND HAVE ME AN ESTIMATE IN WHICH I PAID A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY. SINCE THEN MY CAR IS INSPECTED TIMELY AND TO THIS DAY ENGINE LIGHTS AND OTHER LIGHTS ARE ON AND NOBODY WILL DO ANYTHING BUT TAKE MY MONEY TO REPLACE MISC ITEMS! NOW I JUST READ THERE IS A RECALL WHICH EXPLAINS EVERYTHING AND FOR ONCE IT MAKES SENSE THAT THIS " LUXURY "CAR SOLD TO ME WAS A LEMON AND A VERY EXPENSIVE ONE AT THAT WITH ALL THE REPAIRS AND JUST FEELING SAFE IN MY VEHICLE WHILE I'M DRIVING! I'VE REACHED OUT TO LEXUS AND NOBODY RETURNS CALLS OR ACT LIKE THEY ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH A RECALL FOR MY CAR. IN THE MEANTIME, EVERYB TIME I DRIVE THE CAR I FEAR THAT IT WILL STALL AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME AND MAYBE ME AND MY SON WON'T BE SO LUCKY! WHEN IT STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY IT WAS SUDDEN AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC . EVERY NOW AND THEN MY CAR WON'T START .

I REPORTED THE SPEEDOMETER ISSUE TO LEXUS CHANTILLY, VA WHEN I DROVE ON HIGHWAY FROM VA TO IN, THE LEXUS SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 83, AND MY WAZE SHOWS 75. ITS 8 MPH DIFFERENCE. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED OF THE MPH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 6 TO 8 MPH. LEXUS SAID, I REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHEN THIS SPEEDOMETER IS DEFECTED BY LEXUS DESIGN. IT HAS DO NOTHING WITH PERSONAL WEAR, ETC. I DROVE OTHER HONDA PILOT, AND THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED CORRECTLY AGAINST THE TRAFFIC PATTERN, AND WAZE APP, BUT THE 2016 LEXUS DOESNT SHOW THE CORRECT BASED ON TRAFFIC FLOW, AND WAZE APP. THE TRAVEL FROM LEESBURG, VA TO INDIAOPOLIS, IN SHOULD BE 547, BUT ENDED AT 601 MILES. IM OK IF ITS JUST FEW MILES DIFFERENCES, BUT 50 MILES PER EVERY 500 MILES IS HUGE, 5% ERROR. I THINK ITS BECAUSE OF SPEEDOMETER AND IMPACT ERROR ACTUAL MILES. I WENT TO LEXUS CHANTILLY, VA TO PERFORM RECALL FOR OTHER THING, DOOR HANDLE, BUT THEY SAID, WONT LOOK AT SPEEDOMETER ISSUE, UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. THEN I CALLED LEXUS CORPORATION TO OPEN THE CASE, AND THE LEXUS CASE MANAGER WONT HONOR OR FIX MY ISSUE. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY LEXUS DUE TO THEIR DEFECTIVE ISSUE. I HAVE 4 PHOTOS TO ATTACH.. CAN YOU ASSIST ME TO CONTACT LEXUS TO FIX BASED ON PHOTOS. THANK YOU... I CAN BE REACHED VIA [XXX] - [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
