Example complaints

“The plastic key to my 2002 Lexus es300 cracked due to faulty product design and the microchip that controls the car fell out. I did not know this had happened and was unable to start the car. I was stranded in a rain storm and had to call Lexus for help. Subsequently I used an emergency key which was in my purse. Even though the break occurred because of faulty design, I had to order and pay for a new key ($206) because my car was beyond warranty. I was told by the Lexus service department that these keys break more often than we would like .clearly, the design of the key is the problem. …”
