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

They later informed me that my engine is being replaced. They made no mention of the class action lawsuit, due to engine sludge build-up, that prompted the replacement, but I soon received a letter regarding it, and all the Lexus and toyota models affected. …”
