Example complaints

Brakes: “The ABS brake system anti-lock is failing and every time I put on the brake is pushed me back. Change brakes and rotor on everything still the same problem.”

NHTSA complaint #11329110, filed 2020-06, 40,000 miles

Other or unknown: “My sunroof glass exploded while driving on highway this morning. It is a single panel glass. The remaining of the glass curved upward and it makes me think that this is a spontaneous explosion . There are no other damages on the car. Outside temperature was 29 f this morning when it happened.”

NHTSA complaint #11150269, filed 2018-11, 43,475 miles

Suspension: “Front upper and lower control arms are malfunctioning. This is a known problem on this car however Lexus will not issue a recall or offer any assistance with repair. Lexus will cover this under warranty but as many of these happen shortly after the warranty has expired like in my case there is no recourse. This repair is nearly $5000 and is just not feasible or affordable.”

NHTSA complaint #11325078, filed 2020-05, 88,000 miles

Steering: “This is more of a concern and a inquiry. I recently purchased a 2010 Lexus ls460 awd. I have notice that when making u-turns or sharp turns, the steering wheel fails to return to center by itself, and when I turn it back my self the wheel is no longer aligned with the car. I.e the normal position of the steering to go straight, is off about 90 degrees. This tend to cause over and understeer, and can be pretty scary when in traffic.”
