Lexus electrical problems

Owners have filed 1,077 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Lexus vehicles — 7% of everything reported about the brand, across 72 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Lexus LS400, worst in 1993.

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.
