NHTSA Complaint #10313417 — 2004 LEXUS RX330

SOMEONE NEEDS TO LISTEN! I HAVE A 2004 LEXUS RX330. IT'S HAD TROUBLE FROM DAY ONE, AND I GOT NOWHERE! THEY HAVE DONE 5 UPDATES ON THE COMPUTER. NOW IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAVE TROUBLE AT 20 MPH, INSTEAD OF 40-50 AND 65-80, OF LURCHING, HESITATING, THEN TAKING OFF LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL. IT'S HAD A "BULLETIN" ON THE FRONT BRAKES, AND SHIMMIED ALL OVER THE ROAD. I HAVE PAPER WORK ON ALL OF THIS AND MORE. YOU, THE NTSB, CAN TAKE THE CAR AND GO THRU IT, I'LL GIVE YOU THE REPAIR RECORDS. I'VE CALLED THE TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN 04 OR 05 BEGGING THEM TO HELP ME. A WOMAN SAID, THE CAR WAS, "PERFORMING IN THE MANNER IT WAS DESIGNED:" I SAVED A LONG TIME TO BUY MY DREAM CAR WHEN I RETIRED, NOW I HAVE A DEFECTIVE CAR, WITH ONLY 48K MILES BECAUSE OF FEAR OF DRIVING IT. PLEASE PLEASE, LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE WROTE BACK IN 04 ABOUT THIS CAR. ONE MAN SAID A FRIEND WORKED FOR LEXUS AND TOLD HIM THAT HIS BOSS SAID THERE WILL NEVER BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF CARS SOLD IN THE US AND CANADA. WE NEED HELP. MY CAR IS A LEMON. I'VE MENTIONED NUMEROUS TIMES OF PAINTING IT YELLOW AND PUTTING LEMON ALL OVER IT. PLEASE TRY TO PULL UP RECORDS BACK THEN, ALL THESE PEOPLE WERE WRITING IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. NO ONE LISTENED THEN OR NOW! PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU. I'VE HAD 4 TOYOTA'S IN THE PAST, AND ALL 4 TOTALLY, NEVER HAD THE TROUBLE THIS 1 LEXUS HAS. THEY WERE ACTUALLY TOYOTAS. THEIR COMPLETE STATURE HAS GONE FROM YEARS OF LOYALTY BY ME AND OTHERS, AFTER ALL THE BUILT UP TRUST, GONE IN AN INSTANT! ONE RUNAWAY CAR IS ENOUGH! IT'S NOW KILLING PEOPLE. I BOUGHT IT FOR IT'S COMFORT, LOOKS, BUT MOSTLY FOR SAFETY, AND TRUSTWORTHINESS! GONE. ALL GONE! I HAVE A 91 FORD VAN I DRIVE INSTEAD OF THE LEXUS. I CALL IT A PIECE OF JUNK, NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, AND LEXUS HAD IT MORE THAN I DID THE FIRST 4 YRS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ALL YOU CAN. ALL THESE PEOPLE CAN'T BE WRONG. I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT NOW. SHAME ON YOU, TOYOTA. SHAME ON YOU! GREED! THAT'S WHAT IT IS, GREED. *TR
