“The contact owns a 2015 Lexus IS250. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the radio was inoperable. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that electrical connections located in the trunk space were submerged in water. The cause of the water intrusion was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure and advised the contact to schedule a service appointment.

“VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION HAD A DRIVER SIDE HIT, REALLY BAD AND REALLY HARD AND THE BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY”

“On October 22, 2022 while driving on the freeway at 55 MPH my front driver side tire lost all pressure rapidly. Luckily, I had run flat tires that prevented a dangerous incident to myself and fellow drivers. I took my car to a local tire shop, and they identified extreme inner wear of the tire that ripped through the sidewall. This similar damage happened once before. I have replaced two sets of tires in under 30,000 miles. Based on an online search I have found that this issue is widespread to Lexus owners. Here is one forum discussing the issue: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-3rd-gen-2014-present/940025-all-about-lexus-is-premature-inner-tire-wear.html. I have contacted Lexus about this, but they would not do anything substantial to address this safety issue. Could the NHTSA investigate this and have Lexus provide a fix?”

“after I get gas my car wont start. This has been happening for about 9 months. It takes about 10 mins for the car to turn on. Yesterday after I got gas and was driving, my car completely shut off in the middle of the freeway- thought I was going to die. VERY dangerous. Took my car to lexus back in may to be fixed and the issue was NOT fixed. They put new gas in my car and told me that was the issue... was not.”

“WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING. THEY SAY CAUSE TIRE WAS WEARING NEED ALIGNMENT. BOUGHT THE CAR PREOWNED APRIL 2019 AND THIS HAPPEN NOVEMBER 2019. REPLACED TIRES IN NOVEMBER 2019 AND ALIGNMENT. TIRES ARE WEARING IN THE INNER AGAIN SINCE MARCH 2020. LEXUS SAID THE MANUFACTURER MADE THESE IS CARS A CERTAIN WAY THAT THE TIRES WILL ALWAYS WEAR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT A TIRE CAN'T HANDLE THE SUSPENSION PERFORMANCE OF THIS MODEL CAR FOR ONLY COUPLE MONTHS AND THAN YOUR TIRE BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING DUE TO HAVING TO REPLACE THEM EVERY 5-6 MONTHS. CUSTOMERS WERE NOT MADE KNOWN OF THESE WITH MODELS AS OLD AS MINE 2015.”
