Example complaints
Air bags: “After 10 months since the airbag recall was announced there are still no updates on when my vehicle will be repaired from the manufacture. Considering the severity of the issue, more should be done to speed up the process!”
NHTSA complaint #10944425, filed 2017-01Brakes: “After feeling that my brakes hadn't worked properly at a stop light (I almost skid through it), I was traveling about 35 MPH around a curve and lightly pressed on the brakes to make sure I would slow down. Unbelievably, my brakes completely failed and I actually believe I sped up while at the same time my steering went out of control. I was unable to control or stop the car. After a few seconds I was able to pull off to the right and mud slowed me down enough to come to a stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #10470405, filed 2012-08, 25,000 milesOther or unknown: “2010 Lexus GX 460 driven by my wife. At approx 30 MPH the brakes were applied hard to avoid a car changing lanes and the vehicle entered an immediate left skid without wheels skidding due to braking. The brake pressure was released when a it was apparent a collision would be avoided and the vehicle made a violent jerking return to straight travel. This occurred on dry pavement and easily could have LED to a serious accident. No accident happened only due to my wife's driving skills. Appears the stability control did not work as advertised.”
