I PURCHASED A CAR FROM A DEALER IN MALDEN I HEARD A SOUND THAT WAS NOT FAMILIAR TO ME AND REQUESTED THE DEALER CHECK IT AS I HAD JUST PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. I MADE SEVERAL CALLS AND WAS TOLD THE DEALER WAS WITH A CUSTOMER OR BUSY. ON MARCH 1, 2011 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET INSPECTED IN STOUGHTON AND RECEIVED A REPORT WITH A PASSING GRADE. REGARDLESS I STILL HEARD THE SOUND AND ELECTED TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MARCH 2, 2011. THE DEALER WAS TOO BUSY THAT DAY AND IT WAS ARRANGED FOR ME TO RETURN ON MARCH 9 OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERS ON THE NIGHT BEFORE (8TH) AND WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AT 5PM THE 9TH. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND WAS GIVEN MY KEYS BACK. I LEFT FOR HOME AND A SHORT TIME LATER THE BALL JOINT ON THE LEFT FRONT LET GO CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL WELL AND WHEEL.. THE STATE POLICE HAD ME TOWED AND THE FOLLOWING DAY A MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THE BALL JOINT BROKE AND THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND RIGHT BALL JOINT WERE "JUNK". I CALLED THE DEALER AND MY FATHER SPOKE TO HIM. HE SAID HE WOULD STAND BEHIND WHAT HE SOLD BUT QUESTIONED THE INSPECTION. WE WENT TO THE INSPECTION STATION AND THE OWNER WOULD NOT PROVIDE HIS NAME OR THE NAME OF HIS INSURANCE CARRIER. HE SAID IF WE WANTED TO GET THIS RESOLVED WE WOULD HAVE TO BRING HIM TO COURT. I HAVE GOTTEN THE ESTIMATES TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LEVEL AND THE COST WILL BE $1745.07 INCLUDING MY TOW CHARGES. I REALIZE THE DEALER HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PERFORM THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT HOWEVER THE INSPECTION FACILITY RISKED MY LIFE AND HAVE SHOWN NO INTENTION ON WORKING THIS OUT AMICABLY. I AM REQUESTING THE SERVICE STATION LOSE THEIR LICENSE TO INSPECT VEHICLES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHERS THAT THIS STATION DOES NOT CONDUCT COMPLETE INSPECTIONS AND I QUESTION IF THE TECHNICIAN THAT LOOKED AT MY CAR WAS CERTIFIED AS IT WAS NOT THE OWNER WE SPOKE TO. *TR

FAILURE OF ABS FEATURE / MALFUNCTION OF BRAKES AROUND 07/14/05 WHEN MY WIFE BRAKED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKES LOCKED AND THE CAR SKIDDED WITH THE REAR WHEELS PULLING OUT TOWARDS RIGHT. SHE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AS SHE WAS EXITING AND WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED (<45 MPH) ON 7/23/05 WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, TO AVOID A CAR THAT WAS GETTING IN MY LANE (THE LEFT MOST LANE) I BRAKED HARD. THE SPEED OF THE CAR WAS ABOUT 65 MPH. THE BRAKES JUST LOCKED EVEN AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR SKIDDED WITH THE REAR WHEELS PULLING OUT TOWARDS RIGHT. I WENT THROUGH TWO LANES OF THE HIGWAY, CRASHED THROUGH THE BARBED WIRE FENCE, THE CAR FLIPPED IN AIR AND LANDED UPSIDE DOWN IN THE DITCH (ABOUT 15 FEET DEEP). ALL THE WHILE DURING THE SKID THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED AND I COULD DO NOTHING TO UNLOCK THEM OR TAKE CONTROL OF THE CAR. LUCKILY I AND MY WIFE SURVIVED WITH MINOR INJURIES BUT WE ARE BOTH TRAUMATIZED BY THE EVENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN DECLARED TOTALLED BY THE INSURANCE CO. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 51K MILES ON IT AND IT HAS ABS. THE CAR HAS HAD ALL THE SERVICES DONE AT THE DEALER SINCE THE FIRST SERVICE. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE BRAKES LOCKED OR WHY THE ABS FAILED. IN ADDITION TO ABS THE CAR ALSO HAS TRACTION CONTROL, LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY ETC BUT NOTHING HELPED GETTING CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. *JB

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS, WHICH BOTH OCCURED RANDOMLY WITH NO PRIOR ENGINE PROBLEMS OR INDICATIONS OF ISSUES WITH THE CAR, IN WHICH AS I WAS ACCELERATING, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD CONTINUE TO PRESS DOWN AND PIN ITSELF TO THE FLOOR. BOTH TIMES, THE GAS PEDAL WAS LITERALLY STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND NOT ABLE TO BE LOOSENED. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURED, I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND JAMMED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL POPPED BACK UP AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE PINNED TO THE GROUND. THE SECOND TIME, I LUCKILY HAD SOMEONE WITH ME WHO INSTRUCTED ME TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND QUICKLY TURN OFF THE ENGINE ONE CLICK SO THAT I COULD BRAKE AND STEER MYSELF TO SAFETY. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THESE INCIDENTS, BUT BOTH OCCURENCES COULD HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE ACCIDENTS. THE CAR IS A 2001 LEXUS IS 300. MILEAGE AT TIME OF INCIDENTS: 1ST INCIDENT-ABOUT 65-70,000 MILES 2ND INCIDENT-ABOUT 80-85,000 MILES. BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURED WITHIN ABOUT 2-4 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER AND THE LAST INCIDENT FROM TODAY WOULD HAVE OCCURED ABOUT 1 1/2-3 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR SINCE OCTOBER 2003. I DO NOT KNOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER OR IF THERE WERE ANY OF THESE INCIDENTS REPORTED BEFORE MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PURCHASED FROM A LEXUS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE LOT. I DO HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL LEXUS DEALER COMING UP THIS MONTH.

I WAS RECENTLY IN AN ACCIDENT AT WHICH THE FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING MY FRIEND IN THE PASSENGER SEAT TO HIS THE DASH, BREAKING HIS CHEEKBONE. AND I HIT MY CHEEK ON THE STEERING WHEEL, BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING.*AK

A NEAR HEAD-ON ACCIDENT INVOLVING A LEXUS IS300 AND AN SUV. THE IS300 WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 40 MPH AND THE OTHER VEHICLE, APPROX. 20 MPH. THE DAMAGE TO THE LEXUS IS EXTENSIVE (MORE THAN $9,000). THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS CONTRIBUTED TO INJURIES OF THE DRIVER - BRUSING ON SHOULDER AND HIP FROM THE SET BELT.*AK

PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL ARM MADE TAPPING SOUND. TOOK TO PARK PLACE LEXUS, PLANO TX - CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY REPLACED FOR FREE. THEY TOLD ME THAT A RUBBER GROMMET/GASKET WAS MISSING AND THAT METAL HAD RUBBED METAL UNTIL SEVERE RUST DEVELOPED. ONLY ABOUT 1 MONTHS LATER THE NOISE IS BACK AND EVEN MORE FREQUENT THAN BEFORE WITH ITS "PEK" "POP" "TIK" "TAP". ALSO THE SUSPENSION HAS A TREMENDOUS VIBRATION IN IT, WHENEVER I TRAVEL OVER THE SLIGHTEST CRACK IN THE PAVEMENT - IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS PARTIALLY ATTACHED AND SHACKING FROM THE CHANGE IN SURFACE. ITS A VERY HEAVY AND SUDDEN THUMPING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, EVEN THE STEERING WHEEL ADJITATES TO THE POINT IT CAN BE SEEN - ITS A TREMENDOUS FLEXING. PARK PLACE HAS TOLD ME BEFORE THAT I AM "WASTING" THEIR TIME AND I JUST EXPECT THEM TO "THROW PARTS." THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST EXPENSIVE CAR I'VE HAD, BUT THE MOST DISSAPPOINTING.. *AK

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES PEDAL VIBRATED VIOLENTLY, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE DEALER STATED THE BRAKE CALIPER BROKE. *AK

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN PRIOR THREE MONTHS OF INCIDENT DATE, WHEN TAPPING ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR BRIEFLY (FRACTION OF A SECOND) AND THEN RELEASING, CARS THROTTLE REMAINED COMPLETELY OPEN (MAXIMUM RPMS) EVEN WITH FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. CARS THROTTLE SYSTEM EQUIPPED WITH "DRIVE BY WIRE" OR A WIRELESS COMPUTER CONTROLLED THROTTLE. ON PRIOR TWO OCCASIONS, VEHICLE'S IGNITION HAD TO BE SHUT OFF BY REMOVING KEYS FROM IGNITION WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. ON THIRD OCCASION, DUE TO TRYING TO AVOID OBSTACLES DRIVER HAD NO TIME TO SHUT CAR OFF. CAR STRUCK ROCKS AND VEERED OFF INTO LAKE. CAR TOTALED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING 30MPH HAD FRONT END COLLISION NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED, RESULTUING IN INJURIES. TS

I HAVE A 2001 LEXUS IS300 WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MULITPLE TIMES FOR SELF FLOODING. THIS PAST WINTER THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO MY GARAGE. LEXUS CAME UP AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT IT CHECKED OUT FINE. BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE ECM. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO CERTAIN MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A HAZARD AND WE WERE LUCKY NOBODY WAS HURT.

TOTAL FAILURE OF TIRE WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY - IN FACT TIRE CAME OFF THE RIM - TIRE WAS ONLY ABOUT 2 WEEKS OLD.BRIDGESTONE WITH UNI-T AQ/AQ 100528 POTENZA RE950 215/45R17 TLBL PS DOT # HYDKDFA2001

WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS COMPLETELY CLOSED, YOU CAN HEAR THE WIND BLOWING SOUND. IT USUALLY STARTS OFF AT 40 MILE/HR. AND GETS WORSE AS YOU DRIVE FASTER. IT'S VERY ANNOYING. TOOK THE CAR IN 3 TIMES, NO USE. DEALER SAID THAT IT'S THE WAY THE LEXUS IS BUILT??? ASKED TWO IS 300 OWNERS, THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM. I WANT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER, SINCE I PAID SO MUCH MONEY FOR THE CAR AND IT'S SO FRUSTRATING EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. THANK YOU. MR

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE VEHICLE WILL AT TIMES SHUT OFF. CONTACTED DEALER AND THE DEALER IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. NLM

AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS MAKE/MODEL I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT GOES THROUGH TIRES LIKE NOT OTHER CALL I HAVE EVER KNOWN. I AM LUCKY TO GET 10-12K MILES FROM A SET OF TIRES. IN THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE TIRE SETS AS WELL AS A LIFETIME ALIGNMENT DUET TO THE EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE TIRES, THIS WEAR IS ON THE INNER PORTION OF THE FRONT TIRES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE CAMBER PORTION OF THE SUSPENSION THAT CAUSES THIS. I AM A MODEL DRIVER WHO TAKES ALL PRECAUTIONS IN THE CARE OF MY VEHICLE. WITH THIS BEING SAID THERE ARE TIMES THAT A NEW TIRE CAN GO FROM GOOD TO TOTALLY BAD IN MONTHS. FOR EXAMPLE THIS PAST JULY 2011 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR TIRES AND ALIGNMENT BY OCT 2011 MY FRONT TIRES WERE WORN OUT ON THE INSIDE PORTION. CONSUMER CAN SUPPLY PROOF. I HAVE SEEN BLOG POST ON THE NET WITH VARIOUS OTHER IS 300 OWNERS STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE EXACT TIRE WEAR I AM SEEING. IT IS THE SAFETY FACTOR THAT CONCERNS ME. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHECK BEFORE I GET ON A LONG TRIP IS MY TIRES HAVE WORN OUT FOR FEAR OF HAVING A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *TR

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 45MPH ON HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, VEHICLE TURNED OFF. HE WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDERS. HE WAS FORCED TO PUT BOTH FEET ON BRAKE PEDAL TO BRING VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP.*AK

I HAD MY 6TH FLAT TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR IN 4 MONTHS. THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE TIRE EVERY TIME. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED. SAME SIDE OF THE CAR EVERY TIME. FLATS HAPPENING A DAY APART FROM EACH OTHER - AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I WAS STRANDED AT NIGHT IN A LESS THAN DESIREABLE LOCATION ON THE LAST FLAT TIRE I HAD (4-12-01). I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS HOW I WAS DRIVING (6 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS - I FIND THAT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE - SAME SPOT ON THE CAR) I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I FEEL IT IS A TREAT TO MY LIFE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 2JN2 2400 TIRESIZE: 215/45ZR17)

DURING ACCELERATION, THE AUTO LOSES ALL POWER WHILE HOLDING IN SECOND GEAR - AS IF SOMEONE HAS PUT ON THE BREAKS - AND THEN GOES TO FULL POWER AFTER SHIFTING INTO THIRD GEAR CAUSING THE SEATBELTS TO LOCK. IF SEATBELTS WERE NOT WORN, RIDERS WOULD BE FORCED INTO THE WINDSHIELD.*AK

BOTH RIGHT SIDE TIRES DEVELOPED 2-3 IN. "BLISTERS" IN THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL, APPARENTLY AFTER HITTING EITHER A CURB OR POTHOLE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY NEAREST LEXUS DEALER (ALBUQUERQUE), BUT LEXUS WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRES EVEN AFTER I INFORMED THEM OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH AUDI TIRES. I EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE TIRES MYSELF AT A COST OF $400. *AK (TIRESIZE: 215145ZR17)
