Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2010: “I am experiencing an anti lock brakes actuator failure. Upon starting the vehicle it gives the warning stop the vehicle and contact a dealer . The extended warranty is limited by mileage and years. Being a key safety component in vehicle operation, I am requesting this issue be converted into a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11231003, filed 2019-07, 130,000 miles2007: “During low speed braking. There is a buzzing noise/vibration coming from the brake pedal and engine compartment. I am pretty certain, but not 100% that when this noise is present, my braking ability is diminished. It is a very unsettling feeling when it does happen and it seems to be happening with greater frequency.”
NHTSA complaint #10651178, filed 2014-10, 95,000 miles2008: “I own a 2008 Lexus 460 l . There is now a safety recall due to valve spring problems. I called Lexus in birmingham,alabama (tom williams Lexus) they can not take my vehicle until march 23rd. Over 4 1/2 months from now. They will only service one car at a time. This appears to be ridiculous for a safety recall.”
