NHTSA Complaint #11045453 — 1995 LEXUS GS300

AS I PULLED UP AND MADE A LEFT TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT MY PARENT'S HOUSE, I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THE CAR DROPPED TO THE GROUND AND COULD NOT BE MOVED AND SO IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RESIDENTIAL STREET. I CAME OUT AND FOUND THAT IT WAS MY LOWER BALL JOINT AND IT HAD BROKE OFF THE ROD WAS ACTUALLY SHEARED OFF FROM THE JOINT. I HAVE THE CONTROL JOINT THAT WAS BROKEN. LEXUS SAYS THAT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BUT I DISAGREE AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HAD THIS BROKE OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN BIG TROUBLE.
