Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The pistons that hold up the trunk failed. The trunk fell on me and caused injury. These parts should be replace at the expense of Lexus. In addition, the same parts that support the hood, also just failed. This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed in order to prevent further injury.”
