I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NO CAR DRIVING NEXT TO ME. THIS CAR WILL MAKE A WARNING ALARM IF ANY OF THE DOORS ARE NOT CLOSED PROPERLY BEFORE IT MOVES. BOTH TWO TIMES THERE WASN'T A WARNING ALARM UNTIL THE DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF AFTER 25-40 MINS' DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURE AND DEALER PLAY BALL I TRIED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY ASKED TO DEAL WITH LOCAL LEXUS DEALER. I WENT TO LEXUS DEALER, THEY CHECKED MY CAR BY SIMPLY PUSHING THE DOORS AND TOLD ME NOTHING HAPPENS, THE DOORS ARE GOOD. THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL REPORT THE ISSUE TO MANUFACTURE TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO. I KEPT CALLING THE SERVICE DIRECTOR FROM LEXUS DEALER TO FOLLOW UP WITH MY CASE DURING A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER I BACKED FROM THE DEALER. IT WAS SUPER HARD TO CATCH HIM ON THE PHONE, AND THE LAST TIME I WAS TALKED THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT!

WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PURCHASE, WE NOTIFIED THE SELLER THAT THIS VEHICLE IS PULLING (DRIFTING) TO THE RIGHT. THE SELLER SAID: "IT'S A ROAD FAULT!" WE DIDN'T TRUST HIM, BECAUSE "THE PULLING" WAS REALLY NOTICEABLE ON ALL ROADS. I HAVE TO "FIGHT" WITH IT TO GO STRAIGHT! IT'S VERY DANGEROUS! SO, WE MADE THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WITH LEXUS OF SILVER SPRING. ON MONDAY, 01/ 05/ 2015 THEY GAVE US INVOICE # [XXX]. THEY SAID THE CAR IS INDEED PULLING TO THE RIGHT, BECAUSE THE INSTALLED ALIGNMENT DOESN'T MATCH/FIT THIS NEW LEXUS MODEL. THEY NEED TO ORDER AND REBUILD/ REINSTALL THE WHOLE ALIGNMENT. IT'S GONNA TAKE MINIMUM A FEW WEEKS. THE SERVICE INVOICE STATES: "AFTER TECH TEST DROVE WITH THE VEHICLE. NOTICED VEHICLE PULLING TO RIGHT WAITING TO GET ALIGNMENT UPDATE WILL CALL BACK TO THE CUSTOMER AS SOON AS WE GET UPDATE" WE CONTACTED THE SELLER AND TOLD HIM THAT WE WANT TO REJECT THE CAR THEY SOLD US, BECAUSE IT'S FAULTY/ DEFECTIVE! IT'S REALLY UNSAFE AND WE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR NOT TO WORRY ABOUT REPAIRS ON THE SECOND DAY OF PURCHASE! WE BOUGHT THIS CAR TO DRIVE KIDS AND WE PAID PREMIUM FOR THE GOOD BRAND. THE SELLER TELLS NONSENSE AND WE DO NOT TRUST HIM. HE SAYS THAT IT'S NOT DANGEROUS, IT SHOULDN'T BOTHER US AND HE STATES THAT THE CAR IS NOT DEFECTIVE. HOW COMES? IF IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY, THEN IT'S DEFECTIVE! AND WE DO NOT WANT TO KEEP AND REPAIR DEFECTIVE/ FAULTY CAR.
