Purchase was good. Post support was terrible. Dealership did not disclose KNOWN issue with vehicle and has not offered an acceptable resolution. Communication has been Post support was terrible. Dealership did not disclose KNOWN issue with vehicle and has not offered an acceptable resolution. Communication has been bad/absent. Issue went up to General Manager without resolution. Dealership could have easily and inexpensively fixed the issue, but GM would rather save a nickel than have a life-long customer. Very disappointed in what started out as a great experience. More

Failed to honor Certified Warranty. I took my in for service and they found that the front lower control arm bushings were starting to tear/separate from the metal. They followed up with and email indic service and they found that the front lower control arm bushings were starting to tear/separate from the metal. They followed up with and email indicating they were in need of "urgent repair". I asked them to fix them on my warranty and they declined saying the parts had to fail before they would repair. I checked this out and found that failure on the road is very dangerous. I took my concern though the Lexus appeal process all the way to Lexus Excusive Office. They told me that it was a dealership decision and there was nothing they would do about it. This is a safety issue and the dealer is acting in bad faith. More
