TIRES:TREAD/BELT
Potential Consequences:
Tires installed by Lexus on Sept 27, 2022 are shredding and coming apart in chunks at 37,000 miles; tire is rated 60,000 miles. This is 56% of the projected life of the tire. Previous tires, same brand and size, only lasted 29,000 miles; 1/2 of the life of the tire. Current tires have good tread depth and life left if the chunks were not uniformly coming off of all tires. This condition leaves the tire vulnerable to road hazards and moderately sharp objects. Failure is clearly imminent. Dealer, upon inspection July 1, 2025, did suggest immediate replacement of the tires at normal retail prices. No warnings or alerts or other symptoms are present. There has been a slight loss of air pressure.

I shut to sunroof cover and realized the entire time that my sunroof exploded without warning bc it was not tempered correctly. Lexus refuses to fix the manufacturer error.

The low fuel gauge does not come on until there is only 18 miles left. I brought my auto into the Lexus dealer in Fall 2022 because up until that point the low mileage gauge came on around 40 miles. I was told that the low fuel gauge changes from year to year. Really! It is dangerously to find a gas station with only 18 miles. This makes no sense to me. I have been driving the same model Lexus for 6 years and prior to this the low fuel gauge came on around 40 miles. The Lexus manual says that the gas tank is 19.2 gallons but when I fill up the tank when it says 18 miles are left, I only can add 15.5 gallons. I just heard a similar complaint with the new Highlanders.

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
A safety recall was issued for my Lexus RX450h on 12/19/2023. I immediately contacted the dealership from whom I purchase the vehicle from. They informed me that "the part was on back order and would be there in September. On 09/12/2024, my partner took the vehicle in due to a nail in the tire and additionally to schedule for the vehicle to have the safety recall repaired, as they told us they would have the parts in September. I was already quite upset that they weren't going to have the parts for over 9 months after the safety recall was issued, especially one as important as an airbag, as this could be the difference between someone living or dying in a car accident. When we went back to the dealership, they told my partner that it was "more of a passive recommendation than a recall and that it was going to be updated next month about what is actually supposed to be done." I find this very concerning especially given that it is endangering the life of whomever sits in the passenger side of my vehicle. I don't know who to contact for help the dealership as it has become evident they have no intention of assisting me in this very important safety matter. I'm attaching a photo of the recall that still shows up on my app. I also have Tire & Wheel protection and my tire had a nail in it and it was taken to have a plug put in it and my partner was told that the leak (after pulling out the nail) was plugged. This was Thursday September 12th. However, I'm attaching a photo showing how much air had leaked out of the "plugged tired" Just a note - This is in addition to telling me that things needed to be done that didn't (which I found out from other auto body shop who reviewed the service record) and them lying to me about what services had been recently completed.

A safety recall was issued for my Lexus RX450h on 12/19/2023. I immediately contacted the dealership from whom I purchase the vehicle from. They informed me that "the part was on back order and would be there in September. On 09/12/2024, my partner took the vehicle in due to a nail in the tire and additionally to schedule for the vehicle to have the safety recall repaired, as they told us they would have the parts in September. I was already quite upset that they weren't going to have the parts for over 9 months after the safety recall was issued, especially one as important as an airbag, as this could be the difference between someone living or dying in a car accident. When we went back to the dealership, they told my partner that it was "more of a passive recommendation than a recall and that it was going to be updated next month about what is actually supposed to be done." I find this very concerning especially given that it is endangering the life of whomever sits in the passenger side of my vehicle. I don't know who to contact for help the dealership as it has become evident they have no intention of assisting me in this very important safety matter. I'm attaching a photo of the recall that still shows up on my app. I also have Tire & Wheel protection and my tire had a nail in it and it was taken to have a plug put in it and my partner was told that the leak (after pulling out the nail) was plugged. This was Thursday September 12th. However, I'm attaching a photo showing how much air had leaked out of the "plugged tired" Just a note - This is in addition to telling me that things needed to be done that didn't (which I found out from other auto body shop who reviewed the service record) and them lying to me about what services had been recently completed.
