Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear axle vibrates on my Lexus IS 250, causing serious visibility issues in the rear view mirror and a very unstable ride at highway speeds.. The Lexus service manager says that this problem also existed in 2008 and 2007 Lexus models. So they acknowledge the problem but refuse to do anything about it.”
