Example complaints

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

“I am experiencing a persistent and potentially hazardous steering issue with my 2016 Lexus GS 350 AWD (Luxury Package). At highway speeds (typically 60 mph and above), the steering exhibits a distinct sticky or notchy sensation around the center position. Specifically, the steering wheel resists small corrective inputs when driving straight and appears to stick in place before releasing and allowing directional change. This results in delayed response when attempting to maintain lane position and requires greater-than-normal force to overcome the initial resistance. …”
