This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.

The brake pads installed by Lexus squeak as if they need to be replaced. According to the Lexus dealer there is a service bulletin, and the fix is to replace the bad pads. I was told the brakes are fine and that the squeaking doesn't mean anything.
