Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all complaints include one.
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.

WHEELS
AFTER REPLACING TIRES, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR SHAKES. REPLACED THE REPLACEMENT TIRES WITH A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER AND TREAD TYPE AND STILL HAVE THE SAME VIBRATION AT THE SAME SPEED(S). TIRE PLACE PUT A TOTAL OF 10 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE TO NO AVAIL AND ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE TIRES. RECOMMENDED I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP SAID THAT ONLY THE EXACT TIRES THAT CAME ON THE CAR WOULD GUARANTEE THE CAR WOULDN'T SHAKE. THEY ROADFORCE BLANCHED THE SAME TIRES AND CAME UP WITH VASTLY DIFFERENT RESULTS 2 WEEKS APART. WHEN ASKED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DISCONTINUED THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. SO, IN SHORT, LEXUS HAS MADE A VEHICLE THAT, ONCE THE OEM SELECTED TIRES ARE DISCONTINUED, WILL NO LONGER PROVIDE A SMOOTH RIDE.

VEHICLE SELF-STARTED WHILE UNATTENDED. AFTER START#2 CAR WAS CHECKED FOR DASH LIGHTS AND RUNNING ENGINE WHEN LEFT. UPON RETURN THE GAS TANK WAS HALF USED AND CAR WAS RUNNING. THIS OCCURRED TWICE MORE. CAR PARKED IN A PUBLIC PARKING AREA-IT HAS YET TO HAPPEN IN OUR DRIVEWAY, BUT AFTER READING ABOUT PEOPLE FORGETTING TO TURN OFF THEIR PUSHBUTTON START AUTOS AND SUCCUMBING TO EXHAUST GAS I WONDER IF THEY REALLY FORGOT OR THE CAR SELF STARTED LIKE OURS..

SEATS
THE FRONT SEATS IN THE 2017 LEXUS NX MODELS ARE FIXED AND SLANTING FORWARD TO A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE ANGLE, THIS PICTURE IS FROM AN ADD ON THE LEXUS SIGHT. IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THIS SEAT POSITION PROMOTES POOR POSTURE AND FATIGUE WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 30 MINUTES. THE CANADIAN MODELS OF SAME CAR BUT HAVE ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTS, FOR THE US OWNERS THIS IS $700 PER HEAD REST BUT NOT AVAILABLE TO US RESIDENTS. LEXUS WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE ONLY CALLS YOU BACK TO SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO OR WILL DO. I THINK IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS BAD NECK POSITION....IF YOU ARE IN A REAR END COLLISION IN THIS VEHICLE I CAN ONLY ASSUME YOU WILL HAVE A NECK INJURY AND POSSIBLE PARALYSIS. SOMETHING MUST ME DONE. ON LINE OTHERS COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME ISSUE ARE TAKING THE REAR HEAD RESTS AND INSTALLING THEM ON THE FRONT SEATS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE THIS IS A SAFE ALTERNATIVE.

TIRES
PURCHASED A NEW 2017 LEXUS NX ON MAY 28, 2017. ON JUNE 23, 2017 WHILE WASHING CAR FOR FIRST TIME, I SAW A CRACK/SPLIT IN TIRE SIDEWALL ABOUT 3-4" LONG. ADVISED DEALER IT WAS DEFECT. DEALER ARGUES IT COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO HITTING A CURB. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS, RUNNING OVER NAILS OR SCREWS OR HITTING ANYTHING WITH THE TIRE/CAR. THIS TIRE IS DRIVER REAR SIDE AND I FEAR A BLOWOUT COULD OCCUR. THE CRACK HAS MOST LIKELY BEEN PRESENT SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THERE ARE NO SCUFFS, MARKS, ETC. ON TIRE. I HAVE PHOTOS BUT NO PLACE TO ATTACH THEM HERE.
