Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driving in a storm all the forward looking sensors failed as the sensor became covered with snow and ice. These are the sensors that control collision alert, lane departure alert, cruse control etc. The safety functions most required in bad weather failed.”
NHTSA complaint #11053832, filed 2017-12“While turning right from one street to another, there was complete engine shut-off, and several seconds passed before I could re-start the car, this occurring in morning rush hour, and barely averted an accident. This car also has had numerous random and occasional electrical problems, mirrors moving on their own, garage opener not working, seat memory not working, etc. Shop can't duplicate them and therefore cannot fix. Lexus does not respond. …”
