Lexus steering problems

Owners have filed 529 complaints with NHTSA about the steering on Lexus vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 55 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Lexus RX350, worst in 2009.

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.
