“Backing out of driveway (in motion) into a city street, car stopped abruptly and would not start again. Immediately warning lights vcs, brake and ABS showed on panel. The ABS control module was replaced 6/25/20 costing me $2,708.36 (invoice attached). In march (03/06/20) I paid $2,014.96 for tires and brake replacement (invoice attached). That's a total cost of $4,723.32. I feel scammed because I think the brake job in march created the problem for the ABS to malfunction and it should not have been my responsibility to replace it. Please reply if possible. …”

“Lexus issued a recall for several interior parts on my make and model of vehicle as well as others for several years that were made with a faulty interior product which actually melts. There are a couple of parts made of the same material doing the same thing that were not included which I believe should've been. As you will see from the pictures these items are also melting. I have reached out to Lexus but they advised they would not be willing to assist. This was a $70k car. Please help in making sure the manufacturer takes care of this. …”

NHTSA complaint #11299489, filed 2020-01

“Purchased a used 2008 Lexus LS460 and within about two hours the vehicle abruptly and completely shut down while driving in traffic, with no warning and no practical ability to predict the failure or safely pull off the road. Near collisions were narrowly avoided only because other drivers swerved or slammed on brakes. At the time of purchase there were no warning lights illuminated, but immediately after the shutdown multiple warning lights illuminated (including brake/ABS/stability-related warnings as documented by an independent service center). …”
