Example complaints

Suspension: “Turning left into neighborhood and struck rear passenger side panel behind the tire (bumper area). I was going approx 10-15 MPH, other vehicle (camry) was going 40 MPH. Car rolled twice. I believe this is due to a known issue with this model leaning to the right, which causes an increased rollover risk on left hand turns. It seems that Lexus is aware, but has not addressed the issue. Happy to provide photos or additional documentation if needed.”

NHTSA complaint #11065851, filed 2018-01, 5,600 miles

Electronic stability control: “I was driving around 40 MPH and was hit in the side by a driver who ran a stop sign at a screeching halt and hit my passenger side front and rear. I flipped 2.5 times and landed upside down. I was able to exit the vehicle through the rear windows my child. The car kept me safe as far as airbags and seatbelt. We had some injuries but no broken bones. After researching, I find the gx is known to have a stability issue and flip from even small impacts from the side. …”

NHTSA complaint #11078451, filed 2018-03, 16,500 miles

Air bags: “I was involved in an accident and my airbags did not deploy. I was traveling on a main road and someone cut me off. I hit the other car directly. The fire and police officers at the scene said they thought they should have deployed given the extent of the accident. I'm fine and am actually thankful they didn't go off but they suggested that I submit it for investigation.”
