Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I was driving into a turn from a complete stop in the turn lane on a city street, my car surged forward and the brakes didn't respond. The airbag did not deploy.”
NHTSA complaint #10785840, filed 2015-10, 7,200 miles“I had placed my toll roads transponder (approx. 4 x4 x1/2') on the dash in front of the closed navigation panel. When I put the car in reverse, the navigation panel opened automatically and the transponder slid under the panel, preventing the panel from opening or closing all of the way. I was unable to remove the transponder so I took it to my Lexus dealer who told me since it was not a warranty item , it would cost $140/hr to repair. It is a design defect - anything small will slide under the navigation panel when it opens and will jam the unit.”
NHTSA complaint #10680884, filed 2015-02, 9,817 miles“While driving at highway speeds, the sunroof on my 2013 Lexus ct200h exploded with a deafening bang. Windows were rolled up, AC running, sunroof closed. I was not near a bridge, nor was someone next to me who could have thrown something. The next day I took it to the Lexus dealer in austin texas, but they denied there was a problem ( something must have hit it they said, although I asked why the remaining glass was bowed outward, for which they didn't have an answer), and they refused to fix the sunroof under warranty (its a 2013, with about 17k miles). …”
NHTSA complaint #10644535, filed 2014-10, 16,900 miles“Single vehicle rollover aprox. 75mph on highway.. Vehicle equipped with side curtain airbags. Vehicle was impacted with extreme force on all sides and top of vehicle. Drivers left shoulder and face where injured during the impact and roll. Side curtain deployment would have saved driver from injury if they where working properly.”
