Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I purchased my vehicle from the Lexus dealer it had an occasional thump, bump clunk when I was stopped at stop lights. Sort like someone was trying to bump me forward. I have complained about this at every service appointment including warranty appointments. No one seems to know what it is. It has gotten much worse. I therefore have tried to do some internet research and appears that not only does Lexus know what it is but they might have actually published a technical service bulletin on the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10819491, filed 2016-01, 40,000 miles“Entire frame of the car is rusted to the point that almost nothing is holding the car together and we've been told it's not safe to drive. Has been maintained on regular basis and has always been parked in garage at night and on most weekdays. Car shouldn't be rusted out when cared for meticulously (documentation available).”

We received zld warranty enhancement notification and got on local dealership (grapevine, texas) will call list over a year ago. Dealership continues to say they will call when part is available.
