Estimados, Mi nombre es [XXX] , residente de Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. Soy propietario de un Lexus IS250 2010, VIN [XXX] . Recientemente acudà a un concesionario Lexus para solicitar evaluación del deterioro del tablero y paneles interiores (superficies pegajosas y agrietadas). El concesionario negó la asistencia indicando que la lectura actual del odómetro no coincide con la última registrada en su sistema. Deseo aclarar que el problema del tablero y paneles es un defecto de material ampliamente documentado y no guarda relación con el millaje del vehÃculo. Por tal razón, solicito respetuosamente que mi caso sea evaluado por Lexus Corporate bajo criterios de asistencia voluntaria o…

While I was driving at the end of traffic (Light just turned green), when my sunroof (Glass) exploded. Was a very loud bang, glass fell all over the center console, driver side (On my arm, hair) and passenger side. Luckily I was the only one in the car. I informed my insurance of the damage and sent them pictures, I can show you as well.

RECALLS
- Air bags
THE REPLACEMENT OF MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IS TAKING FAR TOO LONG. LEXUS OFFERED TO GIVE US AN ECONOMY SIZE RENTAL CAR BUT, THAT IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR MY FAMILY SO I HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY UNSAFE CAR. LEXUS HAS NOT GIVEN US ANY INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE REPLACEMENT WILL BE MADE. WE JUST PRAY WE ARE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND.
- Engine
WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE IN DRIVE THE RPMS RANDOMLY INCREASE FROM 500 TO 1000 AND THE CAR INCHES UP UNLESS I APPLY MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. THIS IS USUALLY NOTICEABLE WHILE I AM IN THE DRIVE-THRU AT FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS WHILE WAITING IN LINE. WHILE WAITING FOR 5 OR SO MINUTES IT USUALLY OCCURS 2-3 TIMES. I RARELY NOTICE IT HAPPEN AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AS THEY USUALLY DON'T LAST THAT LONG. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST A FEW TIMES A WEEK.
