Example complaints

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

“The instrument cluster of my 1992 SC400 is going out and at night, I have to use a flash light to see my gauges. Lexus option is to replace the whole cluster with an improved design for around $1500!”

NHTSA complaint #10169971, filed 2006-10, 160,000 miles

“Headlamp lens fog up, reducing illumination dramatically and causing a saftey hazard when driving at night. Have noted much newer models with the same problem, so it is obvious to me that this is a manufactuer's defect and not normal wear and tear. Other issues include premature: speedometer needle light failure, cd changer failure, and cracked dash air vent frames.”
