Vibration felt in the vehicle when vehicle is put into drive but stopped. I have replaced all motor mounts, all exhaust mounts, throttle body and sensor (one assembly), engine coils, fuel injectors, air filter, PCV valve.
THE RECALL AIR BAG OVER 8 MONTHS AND THE DEALER STILL NOT ABLE TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE RECALL MODULE AIR BAG TO REPLACE FOR MY CAR. THE DEALER IS THE LEXUS OF TACOMA WASHINGTON
I FIRST NOTICED THIS RECENTLY. WHEN I MAKE A HARD LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, MY STEERING WHEEL IS OFF-CENTER. IT DOES CORRECT ITSELF IN A SHORT TIME, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING SAFETY. I'M NOT SURE WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. I THINK SINCE THE LAST SERVICE. I BRING MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE AND ANY RECALLS. I MAKE ALL RECOMMENDED REPAIRS. *TR
THE HID HEADLIGHTS ON NEW CARS AND TRUCKS ARE TOO BRIGHT. *NM
BLUE HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE BANNED. THESE LIGHTS ARE BLINDING. ONE ARTICLE MENTIONED ROAD RAGE AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. THESE HIGH DOLLAR VEHICLES ARE BLINDING US FOLKS WITH THE ORDINARY CARS. BEING BLINDED BY THE ONCOMING DRIVER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE VERY SAFE. *NM
I LEASE A LEXUS 400H AND HAVE JUST YESTERDAY BEEN INFORMED THAT IT IS A DRIVE BY WIRE VEHICLE WITH NO MECHANICAL LINKAGE BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT TIRES. I AM A HAM RADIO OPERATOR AND UPON TRANSMISSION THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. NO AMOUNT OF FILTERING OR OTHER MEASURES HAVE ALLEVIATED THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS AND WOOULD NEVER HAVE LEASED IT IF I HAD KNOW THAT IT WAS A DRIVE BY WIRE VEHICLE. NOTE THAT THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF RF SOURCES SUCH AS BROADCAST STATIONS, TV STATIONS, MICROWAVE LINKS AND AIRCRAFT RADARS THAT WOULD AFFECT THE STEERING OF THIS VEHICLE. MOREOVER, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THIS HYBRID MEETS THE FCC EMI STANDARDS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

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.
