“My Lexus GS300 passenger front door is hard to close or open, I have tried applying grease and penetrant to the hinges and no luck so far. Door is not aligned anymore, I hope that Lexus of america takes responsibility on the door issue. Vehicle parked correctly, no downhill or uphill position.”
NHTSA complaint #10788454, filed 2015-11, 127,000 miles“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. …”
