Lexus body problems

Owners have filed 1,179 complaints with NHTSA about the body and structure on Lexus vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 65 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Lexus IS 250, worst in 2007.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
