NHTSA Complaint #11111245 — 2007 LEXUS RX350

1. WIFE BOUGHT CAR ON AUGUST 31, 2016 FROM DEALER IN TACOMA, WA (WITH 90,900 MILES ON IT) WITH A WARRANTY SERVICE CONTRACT WITH IT. 2. SHE TAKES IT TO A LEXUS SERVICE DEALER IN WASHINGTON AT 95,377 MILES ON JULY 13, 2017 TO HAVE THE OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE (NOTE: OIL COOLER HOSE IS RIGHT BY THE OIL FILTER). THEY CHANGE THE OIL AND OIL FILTER, AND MENTION OTHER THINGS ABOUT THE CAR, BUT NOTHING ABOUT OIL COOLER HOSE.) 3. BECAUSE WARRANTY SERVICE CONTRACT IS BEST FOR PEOPLE WHO PUT A LOT OF MILES ON A SHE DROP THE WARRANTY SERVICE CONTRACT IN SEPTEMBER 2017 ABOUT, APPLIED THE REFUND TO AMOUNT OWING ON CAR. 4. ON JUNE 23, 2018 (AT 99850 MILES) THE (ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER) OIL COOLER HOSE LEAK OIL A-LOT, IN ABOUT 1/2 A MILE ALL THE OIL (6 QTRS +) WAS OUT OF THE ENGINE MAYBE, SHE DID NOT NOTICE THE LEAK UNTIL 3 + MILES OF RUNNING THE CAR, (NO LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH). 5. SO READ THAT IN MARCH 2010 TOYOTA HAD THEIR CAR ENGINES WITH YEAR 2007 HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE OIL COOL HOSE (PART OF THE HOSE WAS RUBBER-AND WAS KNOWN TO LEAK, THE OIL COOL HOSE NOW IS ALL METAL) AND THE CAR I'M REFERRING HERE (2007 LEXUS RX 350) WAS PART OF THE REPLACEMENT TO. ALSO NOTICE THAT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME HAD UNTIL MARCH 2013 TO HAVE IT DONE. AND I GUESS THE OWNER AT THE TIME, NEVER HAD THE ORIGINAL OIL COOLER HOSE (PART RUBBER) REPLACED. 6. SO MY QUESTION HERE IS DOES THE LEXUS DEALER (ON 7/13/2017 WHO CHANGE THE OIL) HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO INFORM HER THAT SHE HAS A OIL COOLER HOSE THAT IS KNOWN TO LEAK (ORIGINAL ONE ON CAR THAT WAS PART RUBBER)?? 7. I HAVE ATTACHED THE ORIGINAL OIL COOLER HOSE PICTURE (THAT WAS ON THE CAR) TO THIS COMPLAINT. THANKS, FOR YOUR TIME
