Example complaints

“I purchased my two new 2012 Lexus ct200hs in december 2012 with 23 miles on it. One of them has been totally fine. The other one, from the first day, had a very jittery ride. I returned to the dealer and they confirmed the ride was abnormal and they replaced all 4 michelin tires. The tire replacement did not change the cars ride or behavior. I've returned to 2 Lexus dealerships multiple times as well as have been working with Lexus hq, and they're all now saying that the car is performing as designed. …”
