ALMOST THE EXACT COMPLAINT AS ODI ID NUMBER 755661. I DISAGREE THAT THIS IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE CONTACTED LEXUS REGARDING THIS AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD "TOO BAD".
THE ROTORS ON THE DISC BRAKES HAVE WARPED THREE TIMES IN APP. 8000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER CONCEDES THAT THE BRAKES ARE INADEQUATE FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, WHEN IT IS OWNED BY PEOPLE IN HILLY AREAS. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATES THAT THE PROBLEM OF BRAKES OVERHEATING IS PERVASIVE, BUT SAYS IT IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE ASKED THE MANUFACTURER TO EITHER PROVIDE A FIX, OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS REFUSED. *AK

8 of 8 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
