Consumer Description
My front driver tire flew off as I was exiting the expressway 8-7-22. The tire and wheel continued on to go through another vehicle’s windshield, Crash # 23080049 was filed by NV Highway Patrol Trooper E Thallon # 347.The car had 6300 miles at the time of the accident. It had its first customary 5K maintenance which included a tire rotation on 5-26-23. If I wouldn’t have been exiting the freeway, this would have happened in 5 lanes of traffic whIch could have killed me or other drivers as well. Since I drove 1391 miles since service, the dealer is claiming someone else did something to the tire. I never lost tire pressure and have had no reason to have anyone touch my tires. I purchased the car new 10-15-22 and also pre-paid for 3 years of customary maintenance as well as tire and wheel protection. The car is garage kept and just used for traveling short distances to my work/local places (within 25 miles of my home). After the dealer claimed no liability, I reached out to Lexus Corp who inspected and told me to have it fixed. I and my insurance are currently responsible for repairs, rental etc. If the dealer’s service center did not over-tighten a lug nut or not tighten one enough, there is a serious problem with this vehicle that needs to be investigated ASAP.
