Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The struts are failing (leaking) and this is a known problem across the internet. Also, the door lock actuators stop working periodically. And finally, the rear defroster stoped working. I've owned much cheaper cars with well over 100,000 miles and never experienced these problems. This car only has 82,000 and well taken care of as I have another car that I lease and the Lexus is usually in the garage.”
NHTSA complaint #11322332, filed 2020-04, 82,000 miles“The servo motor is bad per Lexus dealership. There is a recall for this exact problem for newer models. Years 2013 - 2016 should be included. My daughter has a 2006 Lexus, and it has the exact same problem. Lexus has a problem with their HVAC systems. The air conditioning stalls when turning on and goes from cold to warm when car is is idling.”
