I AM GETTING THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE ON THE FREEWAY AND I HAVE DONE SEVERAL TEST DRIVES WITH THE LEXUS FOREMAN AND THE AMERICAS TIRE BRANCH MANAGER WHO INSTALLED THE TIRES ON MY CAR. CAN PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION UPON REQUEST

THE AIRBAG COVER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED AND LOOKS AS IF IT IS GOING TO POP. THIS COULD BE A HAZARD.

I WAS REAR ENDED BY A CAR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS 250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD AFFECTED HER VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH TOM WOOD LEXUS (4610 E 96TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46240, (317) 580-6888) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A LIMITED TIME WARRANTY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SHE MISSED THE DEADLINE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

2019 LEXUS ES 350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD LEAKING POWER STEERING HOSE AND A DRY CANISTER. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAD CUPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.*JS

I BOUGHT A LEXUS ES 350 2007 ON OCTOBER 11TH 2019 A FEW DAYS LATER I NOTICED IT WAS A BIG GLARE IN THE WINDOW FROM THE DASHBOARD I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL YOU ON THERE I TRIED TO WIPE AND THERE WAS A STICKY RESIDUE I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NO BIG DEAL NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT IT GIVES ME A BURNING EYE FEELING ANTI-GLARE IS BLINDING EYEWEAR GLASSES AND I THINK IT'S A DANGER DATA DASHBOARD IS SEEPING SOME TYPE OF STICKY SUBSTANCE THAT COULD BE TOXIC

AS I WAS DRIVING IN THE EARLY MORNING, I OPENED THE MOONROOF. 5 MINUTES LATER I DECIDED TO CLOSE IT BECAUSE IT GOT COLD FAST IN THE CAR. UPON CLOSING, THE MOONROOF GLASS SELF EXPLODED AS I WAS DRIVING 40-45MPH. THE GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER AND ASSES WHY AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED. NOTHING HIT IT, NOTHING FELL ON IT, ALL I DID WAS OPEN AND CLOSE IT AND IT EXPLODED. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE, I REALIZED I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I DECIDED TO SUBMIT MY COMPLAINT AS THIS IS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING AT 60MPH, AFTER REMOVING FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL, VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 40MPH. HAVE TO APPLY BRAKES TO SLOW CAR DOWN.

THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY RATTLED/SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY UPON INITIAL START AND RANDOMLY SHAKES VIOLENTLY ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD EVERY TIME IT VIOLENTLY SHAKES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. LEXUS DEALERSHIP REPORTED RANDOM ENGINE CYLINDER MISFIRES; AND A THREE-DAY PHYSICAL OBSERVATION AFTER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD REMOVAL SHOWS: UNEXPLAINED INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK. COLLANT LEAKING INTO CYLINDER 4. CYLINDER 1 ALSO WET AND MUDDY LOOKING. AND DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF FORECASTED REPAIRS AND PARTS REPLACEMENT WHICH COULD EITHER BE THE CYLINDER $4K OR AN ENTIRELY NEW ENGINE 17K IF THE CYLINDER REPLACEMENT FAILS TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. NO LEXUS ENGINE SHOULD FAIL LIKE THIS, IT'S A HYBRID WITH HYBRID TECHNOLOGY, IT RELIES ON BATTERY HALF THE TIME. AN ENGINE FROM LUXURY BRANK LIKE LEXUS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 125K MILES. THIS CAR IS A LEMON. NUMEROUS PRIUS AND LEXUS OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL LEXUS CONSUMER FOR 15 YEARS. APPARENTLY LEXUS RECEIVED J.D. POWER AND ASSOCIATE'S MOST DEPENDABLE VEHICLE AWARD FOR THE 7TH YEAR IN A ROW FOR 2019 AND RANKED HIGHEST OVERALL AMONG ALL OTHER LUXURY CAR BRANDS' NOT WITH MY LEXUS, IT'S JUNK AND UNSAFE! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED, LEXUS!

ON THE NIGHT OF AUGUST 20, 2019, AT 9:45, I PARKED MY LEXUS ES 300 AND WENT INSIDE THE LOCAL ACME. ACME IS APPROX MILES FROM HOME. I ENTERED THE STORE AND HEARD OVER THE INTERCOM ALL SHOPPERS HAD 12 MIN BEFORE CLOSING. I QUICKLY SHOPPED, AND UPON EXITING THE STORE, MY CAR HAD A SIGNIFICANT FIRE, AND THE FIRE COMPANY THAT WAS ACROSS THE STREET HAD TO RESPOND AND PUT IT OUT. MY CAR HAD NO POWER, AND IT MYSTERIOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE. I WAS GIVEN THE DIRECTIVE TO HAVE IT TOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE POLICE AND FIRE CO WHO WAS ON THE SCENE. I QUICKLY GRABBED ANY SALVAGEABLE PERSONALS AND HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME BY THE POLICE OFFICER. THE FOLLOWING DAY AUGUST 21, 2019, AAA TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY HOME. I HAD TO ATTACH THE BATTERY CABLE TO HAVE POWER FOR WINDOWS AND LOCKS ALONG WITH THE TRUNK. I GATHERED ALL MY BELONGINGS AND REMOVED THE WIRE. I CALLED THE FIRE MARSHALL FOR A REPORT, AND HE SAID HE COULDN'T GIVE ME A REPORT. IT WAS COMPROMISED BY BEING TOWED. COMPROMISED FOR TOWING WHEN I WAS TOLD OR RATHER DEMANDED TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE OF THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY. I GOOGLED THE WORDS LEXUS AND FIRE AND NOTICED BY A FEW POSTS MY ISSUE WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THEREFORE, I CONTACTED LEXUS, WHO HAD ME TOW MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE CAR SAT AND IS STILL SITTING FOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS BEFORE AN INSPECTOR LOOKED AT IT ON SEPTEMBER 10. 2019. I WENT TO CHECK THE ONLY CAR AFTER AND TOOK A VIDEO OF WHAT I SAW. I WAITED THE 30 DAYS FOR A REPLY IF THEY'D ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY. I GOT MY LETTER ON THE 31ST DAY AND THEY CAN NOT IDENTIFY HOW THE FIRE STARTED AND ASSUME NO LIABILITY. HOW DOES A CAR MYSTERIOUSLY CATCH FIRE PARKED? BECAUSE THIS ISSUE ISN'T ISOLATED, IS THERE ANY RECOURSE ACTION AGAINST LEXUS FOR DAMAGES? I HAVE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE AFTER THE FIRE AND AFTER THE INSPECTION.
