FRONT UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THIS CAR HOWEVER LEXUS WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL OR OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIR. LEXUS WILL COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY BUT AS MANY OF THESE HAPPEN SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED LIKE IN MY CASE THERE IS NO RECOURSE. THIS REPAIR IS NEARLY $5000 AND IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE OR AFFORDABLE. *TR

MY SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THIS MORNING. IT IS A SINGLE PANEL GLASS. THE REMAINING OF THE GLASS CURVED UPWARD AND IT MAKES ME THINK THAT THIS IS A SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION . THERE ARE NO OTHER DAMAGES ON THE CAR. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 29 F THIS MORNING WHEN IT HAPPENED.

THE BRAKES FAIL ON A LEXUS 2010 HYBIRD 250 WHEN YOU GO OVER A BUMP OR RAILROAD TRACKS AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. THEY JUST RELEASE AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKES AND PUT IT BACK ON. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THE LAST TIME WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE HYBIRD CAR. *TR

THIS IS MORE OF A CONCERN AND A INQUIRY. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 LEXUS LS460 AWD. I HAVE NOTICE THAT WHEN MAKING U-TURNS OR SHARP TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILS TO RETURN TO CENTER BY ITSELF, AND WHEN I TURN IT BACK MY SELF THE WHEEL IS NO LONGER ALIGNED WITH THE CAR. I.E THE NORMAL POSITION OF THE STEERING TO GO STRAIGHT, IS OFF ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THIS TEND TO CAUSE OVER AND UNDERSTEER, AND CAN BE PRETTY SCARY WHEN IN TRAFFIC. *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
