Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving down the road at varying speeds I have noticed that the outside mirrors on my car change position without any input on the switch. During the week or so prior to the first time that this occurred, I had noticed that when returning to the car after leaving it parked overnight that the mirrors, selecting the memory switch would return the seat and mirrors to their preset position. However this has now progressed to where the mirrors will change position while the vehicle is in motion. …”
NHTSA complaint #10468905, filed 2012-08, 100,000 miles“On july 24, 2014 I noticed the dashboard on the driver side was starting to look sticky and shiny like the passenger side, but didn't think anything of it until I started driving and could not see clearly out of the windshield because of the glare from the sticky and shiny dashboard. After further research I find that I am not the only consumer with this problem. In 2012 I first noticed the sticky and shiny dashboard only on the passenger side which I've mentioned the issue to the dealer who stated he hasn't heard about such issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10616752, filed 2014-07, 100,000 miles“While driving my 2007 es 350 I attempted to let my passenger side front window down and when I tried to let it up it wouldn't go up at first then it came up off track upon letting it up.”
NHTSA complaint #10460701, filed 2012-06, 65,000 miles“In may/june 2011 my AC went out and august 2011 my passenger side window went off track due to a broken clip. I have a 2007 Lexus ES350 with 102,000 miles. My warranty ran out just before year 2 due to the high mileage. I took my vehicle to the dealership for the AC and was told the AC evaporator needed to be replaced. Also, the technician told my husband that the waterpump was leaking as well and it needed to be replaced. However, the technician forgot to write the water pump information on the ticket. …”
NHTSA complaint #10418597, filed 2011-08, 100,950 miles“The entire dashboard on my vehicle is melting. The cause is unknown but it appears to be a material, or material process, issue. The shiny black melting dashboard is highly reflective. It impairs my vision on a sunny day. I've tried many different types of sunglasses to try to make it easier on my eyes, but nothing seems to help. I have talked to Lexus, they agreed that it's a problem but their offer to help pay for the repair was not acceptable (50% of ~$3200.00). The melting process began about 2 years ago, it was a local problem (reflections only at certain sun angles). …”
