Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I bought a new Lexus ES350 (model year 2008) in the summer of 2008 from a dealership in texas. I soon noticed that, on several occasions, the car locks would open unexpectedly by themselves when I was near the car. To clarify, on multiple occasions my car was parked, I approached the car but did not touch the car nor did I touch my key fob, and the locks would open without explanation.”

NHTSA complaint #10314022, filed 2010-02
