TRIM AROUND FRONT CENTER A/C CRACKED. I SAT IN PARKED AND HEARD A CRACK. I ASSUME IT WAS DUE TO HEAT FROM SUNLIGHT. CRACKED AFTER LESS THAN 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. BOUGHT BRAND NEW. AREA AROUND CUP HOLDER ALSO CRACKED AFTER ABOUT 1.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. CONTACTED LEXUS ABOUT THIS BUT NOTHING WAS DONE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME BUT THAT WAS 1 YEAR AGO. *TR
YOKOHAMA TIRE SIDEWALL EXPLODED AT 60 MILES/ HR NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.
CAR FAILED TO STOP ON INCLINE AND HIT A GARAGE DOOR
AFTER REPLACING TIRES, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR SHAKES. REPLACED THE REPLACEMENT TIRES WITH A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER AND TREAD TYPE AND STILL HAVE THE SAME VIBRATION AT THE SAME SPEED(S). TIRE PLACE PUT A TOTAL OF 10 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE TO NO AVAIL AND ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES. RECOMMENDED I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP SAID THAT ONLY THE EXACT TIRES THAT CAME ON THE CAR WOULD GUARANTEE THE CAR WOULDN'T SHAKE. THEY ROADFORCE BLANCHED THE SAME TIRES AND CAME UP WITH VASTLY DIFFERENT RESULTS 2 WEEKS APART. WHEN ASKED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DISCONTINUED THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. SO, IN SHORT, LEXUS HAS MADE A VEHICLE THAT, ONCE THE OEM SELECTED TIRES ARE DISCONTINUED, WILL NO LONGER PROVIDE A SMOOTH RIDE.
