Example complaints

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

“According to the NHTSA online database, my vehicle has been on recall since january 13, 2020. I was not informed of this recall, and only found out when I took my vehicle in for maintenance on november 3, 2020 (almost one year after recall was issued). I was informed of the recall at the Lexus dealership on this day, but was informed that there were no parts available to repair the recall. …”

“I was sold my car with an open recall of the fuel pump back in december of 2020. The recall was in october and the dealership sold me a car with an open recall and let me drive the car until march”

NHTSA complaint #11404902, filed 2021-03, 1,500 miles

“On six occasions in the last two weeks, when accelerating from a full stop at stop lights on city streets, when I press the gas pedal, the car doesn't accelerate. It rolls very slowly at 3/4 MPH for about 10 seconds. I keep the gas pedal pressed and eventually the car accelerates. This does not happen every time I drive the car and sometimes it happens twice in a row and sometimes it happens once while I am out driving. On may 15, I took it to the Lexus dealership where I purchased it and was told they can only fix it if they are able to duplicate it and they where unable to duplicate it.. …”

NHTSA complaint #11324794, filed 2020-05, 5,800 miles

“When accelerating from a complete stop (a red light or stop sign). The 2019 Lexus nx300 sometimes struggles, and very slowly, accelerate unit it reaches about 20 MPH. Feels like being out of gas. After about 5-10 seconds, everything seems to be normal. This has happened about 5-6 times in the past year. It certainly isn't normal but since it cannot be reproduced on demand, the dealer was unable to determine what the problem is.”

NHTSA complaint #11362369, filed 2020-10, 10,900 miles

“Car was running normally and going at 50mph then all of a sudden car abruptly lost power and went to 10mph and dashboard lit up. Very scary as we also had our kids in the car--I can only imagine how dangerous this would have been if we had been on the highway going 70mph. Dealer diagnosed with low pressure fuel pump being bad. Lexus paid for the repair due to some lawsuit settlement but these cars should be recalled due to sudden loss in power!!”
