NHTSA Complaint #11373635 — 2019 LEXUS NX

ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA ONLINE DATABASE, MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON RECALL SINCE JANUARY 13, 2020. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS RECALL, AND ONLY FOUND OUT WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE ON NOVEMBER 3, 2020 (ALMOST ONE YEAR AFTER RECALL WAS ISSUED). I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL AT THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP ON THIS DAY, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE RECALL. WHEN I ASKED WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR, I WAS INFORMED, 'FUEL PUMP.' WHEN I ASKED FURTHER WHAT THAT DOES AND MEANS WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF MY CAR, I WAS INFORMED, 'IF IT MALFUNCTIONS, YOUR CALL COULD STALL, AND COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS IF STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED.' WHEN I ASKED WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR WOULD BE AVAILABLE, ALL I WAS TOLD WAS THAT IT WAS UNKNOWN, AND WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE, I WOULD BE NOTIFIED VIA LETTER. MY CAR COULD STALL AT ANY POINT, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS DANGER, AND IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR WITHOUT ANY OPTION FOR REPAIRS. AT THE LEAST, I SHOULD BE GIVEN A RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL THE SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE IN FEAR THAT MY CAR COULD MALFUNCTION AND STALL AT ANY GIVEN POINT.
