Example complaints

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

“I have for years experienced a challenge with the check engine light illuminating. I have tried for years to get these lights to remain off, but with every repair, it comes back on. I basically ride with these lights on almost always for years. I have paid to have it repaired on several occasions. I found a week or two ago, a letter from Lexus concerning this check engine light, and I wonder can I still have my vehicle checked out for this abnormality. Thank you for your time.”
