NHTSA Complaint #11318534 — 2019 LEXUS RX350

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED. I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR AND IN DOWNTOWN CITY TRAFFIC WITH HONKING CARS BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. A FEW DAYS AFTER THIS INCIDENT, WHILE DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY HWY AT 55MPH THE CAR ENGINE WAS SKIPPING AS IF ABOUT TO STALL. I HAD A PASSENGER IN MY CAR WHO EXPERIENCED THIS ROUGH RIDE AND MADE A COMMENT ABOUT IT. A FEW DAYS LATER, ON MARCH 8,2020, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM LEXUS ENFORM SERVICES WITH A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT INFORMING ME THAT MY VEHICLE REQUIRES ATTENTION DUE TO A SAFETY RECALL 20LA01. WHEN I LEASED MY VEHICLE, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS RECALL WHICH GOES BACK TO 01/13/2020. SAFETY IS A TOP CONCERN FOR ME AND I FULLY COMMUNICATED THIS TO THE SALESPERSON WHEN I LEASED MY CAR BUT I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS RECALL AT THAT TIME. I HAVE EXACTLY 2800 MILES ON MY CAR. I AM NOT ABLE TO USE IT BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LEXUS DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY AVAILABLE TO FIX THE LOW -PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT. I WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE NOT ONE THAT INCREASES THE RISK OF HAVING A CRASH.
