NHTSA Complaint #10968301 — 2006 LEXUS GS430

DOOR HINGE ON VEHICLE LOOKS TO HAVE MANUFACTURE PROBLEM BUT I DO NOT SEE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IT IS BREAK THROUGH THE METAL AND CREATING A HOLE AND MAY NEED TO BE WELDED OF SOME SORT OR A NEW DOOR. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM LEXUS IN FT MYERS FLORIDA AROUND TWO YEARS AGO AND THE DOOR HAS ALWAYS HARD A RUFF CLOSE TO IT. RECENTLY IVE NOTICED IT GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO CLOSE. AND WHEN I LOOKED TO SEE WHERE THE ISSUE WAS IT SEEMS TO BE THE HINGE. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DEALER THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID IT MAY JUST NEED TO BE OPENED AND CLOSED A FEW TIMES SINCE ITS BEEN ON THE LOT FOR A BIT. BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION AS IVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS BUT FEEL THIS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN WEAR AND TEAR AND SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. AND ITS ONLY ON ONE HINGE OF THE TWO ON THE DOOR. SO NO WAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING CREATED OR DONE BY MYSELF OR ANY PREVIOUS OWNERS. THE DOOR IS STARTING TO HANG AND BOTTOM IS PUSHED OUT A BIT SO ITS UNALINED. I LOVE MY VEHICLE AND HOPE THAT I COULD GET SOME ASSISTANCE.
