Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I recently bought a dealer low mileage extended to 100k warranty 1999 ES300 Lexus, my mid age dream car. It is truly a nice auto, except. The beast has been to the shop 3 times for maid service not genuine problem until frost/freeze puts the problem against my requirement of windshield defroster for vision. Mice have a free run of the entire air intake systems...air conditioning/heater and engine air filter/fuel injection. I have phoned and e-mailed the toyota/Lexus folks both at website and california multiple times with little respect towards consumer communication. …”
