“My 2014 Lexus es 350 has less then 4000 miles on the vehicle and the steering has malfunctioned twice and I am now unable to drive the car as it is part of the electrical system which continually freezes up making it inoperable. I purchased the car 2 months ago and as it was certified by Lexus this should not have happened.this is a potentially very dangerous situation. Fortunately I was in my parking lot both times this occurred and not on the highway.”
