Example complaints

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

“When I go to apply the brakes or of I'm coasting slow, the car jerks twice(once while the car is slowing down, and a harder jerk right before the car stops) every Lexus forum I visited where people had 2006 Lexus GS300 awd's(with the same exact symptoms), they were mis-diagnosed being told it was their transmission, when in actuality it was their ecu that needed to be replaced. That is a computer failure, so I don't understand why there aren't recalls on this.”

“Hello, first the headlights auto adjust low. They state its normal and I took the car to dealer a least 13 times for headlights pointing low and only gives about 3 or 4 ft on light beyond good. Now warranty expired. They didn't nothing. Rear view mirror faded it's not safe to use it. Dealer knows about the problem but wants me to 1300$ for new mirror. Front bushing system failed completely. I took it to 3 repair shops and all stated as know problem, they quoted 2000$ for repair because Lexus will not and don't sell only bushings. You have to buy all new complete arm controls. …”

“I slowed down to park the car and was steering my car into the parking opening. And as the car slowed down to almost a stop position, and all of a sudden just before it stopped, the car suddenly accelerated unintentionally with high speed and ran over the parking blocks and then over the raised island in front of me. Then it crashed into the cars parked on the opposite side of the raised island and then it stopped. In 2009 I experienced my vehicle started to shake often when it was idling when the vehicle was at complete stop position. …”

Engine dip stick shows signs of oil reduction after oil change. Checked oil levels after 1,000 miles and again at 3,000 miles. After 3,000 miles, oil is below the recommended intervals to almost non-existent on dipstick. …”
