NHTSA Complaint #11056136 — 2010 LEXUS RX450H

I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL LEXUS OWNER FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE AT ONLY LEXUS DEALERSHIPS. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE 10 DAYS AGO, THE OIL COOLER HOSE BURST, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE (ENGINE FAILURE/SEIZURE WHILE DRIVING) WITH CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. LEXUS HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAS COVERED IT FOR MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH 150K MILES OR LESS, HENCE THE "ENHANCED WARRANTY" ABOUT WHICH I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE. I HAVE 151K MILES AND THEY REFUSE TO COVER IT OR OFFER ANY KIND OF COMPENSATION FOR THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE HOSE. THEY DO NOT DEEM IT A SAFETY ISSUE, WHICH IS ABSURD FOR THE REASON STATED ABOVE. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A WARRANTY "ENHANCEMENT" OFFERED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, ABOUT WHICH I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE, BY LEXUS OR BY ANY OF THE TECHNICIANS WHO HAVE SERVICED MY CAR OVER THE YEARS. IF LEXUS OFFERED THIS WARRANTY, THEY CLEARLY KNEW THIS WAS A POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. NOW THAT THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR, THEY WON'T COVER IT, AS I'M "OUT OF WARRANTY" WITH A WARRANTY I NEVER KNEW WAS OFFERED TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER LEXUS - THEY HAVE LOST MY BUSINESS AND MY TRUST,
