Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The lights , check engine and the temperature gauges I felt do not work properly. The engine was getting hot and overheating, cutting out dying and the check engine light never came on. Then the temp guage never bobbled or moved until the car tried to die at 45 MPH. Then it bobbled, just slightly then went back to normal. The radiator was fried dried. And the piston rings are fried and toast and I had absolutely no warning. I had the car towed to the shop, they changed the radiator and advised me of the transmission problem which I knew nothing of and the piston rings. …”
NHTSA complaint #768748, filed 2002-10“The instrumentation cluster on the ES300, which includes the speedometer and odometer, uses lighted needles and gauges. The lighting for the needles and the gauges intermittently dims or goes out. This can be a bit frightening and somewhat dangerous when operating the vehicle - especially at night. While the vehicle was still under warranty we contacted the Lexus warranty company and a dealer. They said they would not cover the part and that it would cost just under $1000.00 to replace. …”
NHTSA complaint #715557, filed 1999-12“Replace instrument of the combination meter, involving speedo/tach, temperature gauge unit, gas gauge, when on the indicator needle malfunction, causing light indicator needles to blink or remain off for extended period.”
