Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Something on windshield that makes it hard to see, it impairs my vision. Dashboard IS literally melting! It's sticky! Now I don't understand why Lexus doesn't take care of their customers and send out a recall. Fix their mistakes and do it right. I understand they tried to pass some cheaper products off on their vehicles but that only bought them some time. Word of mouth IS their worst enemy right now.”
