There are 3 owner-reported tires & wheels complaints for the 2015 Lexus RXin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
225/60R18 100H Mileage on car when tires purchased 33,410(11/4/2021 mileage when tire failed 40,702.(6/8/2023) These tires have a 50K warranty. At 40,846 (6/26/2023) two more tires failed. I was told tread separation was issue. This dealer put my family at Risk! When the car went in for shaking they said the tire was defective. They replaced it and charged me $214, the tire only cost $150 new. I asked if the other tires were OK, the girl I paid said "the bad tire was from a different batch than the three remaining tires and they were OK." 2 weeks later 2 more tires go bad, putting us back in the car with defective tires put my family at risk. This dealer is dishonest and Dangerous. They charged me for 4 new tires total cost $492.35 when the set only cost $600 new and we only received 15% of the use of the tire, before they went bad. 1 tire going bad is unfortunate, 3 tires same problem is a Defect and they should have been replaced NO Charge. Anyway you need to get these tires off the road before someone has a serious accident or possibly already has.
THE SIDE WALL ON REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE FAILED AT 3950 MILES WHEN TIRE WARNING CAME ON MY DASHBOARD. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO TIRE WARRANTY. I TRIED THE LEXUS CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY ASKED ME TO UPLOAD TIRE CHANGE INFORMATION SINCE I HAD ALREADY CHANGED MY TIRES AT LOCAL TIRE SHOP. THEN THE CASE MANAGER SHUT DOWN THE COMPLAINT WITH THE SAME EXPLANATION THAT FACTORY TIRES DON'T CARRY ANY WARRANTY.
THERE WAS NO DISCERNIBLE EVENT THAT CAUSED THE TIRE ON THE LEXUS RX350 WITH LESS THAN 4000 MILES TO BLOW. WE TURNED OFF RT 113 INTO A LOWES SHOPPING CENTER AFTER WAITING ABOUT 2 MINUTES FOR A LIGHT. ON MAKING THE LEFT HAND TURN THE TIRE BLEW. I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND CALLED LEXUS ROAD SERVICE. THEY DON'T WARRANT TIRES ON A NEW CAR SO WE TOOK IT TO SEARS/KMART, AN AUTHORIZED MICHELIN DEALER. THEY OFFERED A 50% REBATE CLAIMING-TO THE MICHELIN OPERATOR- THAT IT WAS A "POT-HOLE" DAMAGE AND NOT A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THEY SAID WITH THE NEWER CARS WE COULD HAVE HIT A POT-HOLE AND NOT EVEN KNOWN IT! *TR
