CT 200h

  • 300 miles
I purchased my two new 2012 Lexus ct200hs in December 2012 with 23 miles on it. One of them has been totally fine. The other one, from the first day, had a very jittery ride. I returned to the dealer and they confirmed the ride was abnormal and they replaced all 4 Michelin tires. The tire replacement did not change the cars ride or behavior. I've returned to 2 Lexus dealerships multiple times as well as have been working with Lexus hq, and they're all now saying that the car is performing as designed. I can deal with a rough riding car, but at highway speeds, this Lexus has a high frequency vibration that travels through the car: Can feel in the floor, steering wheel, doors, seats. I commute 17 miles to work and by the time I exit the highway, my feet and lower legs are nearly numb from the vibration. The car is physically exhausting to drive. I can't believe that Lexus would call this driving experience as "performing as designed".

The contact owns a 2012 Lexus Ct 200H. The contact stated that while driving 2 mph, the vehicle traveled over a curb and the knuckle of the lower control arm became fractured.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and he was still awaiting a final decision on whether it was a defect or not. The manufacturer was notified and stated that they would further investigate. The failure and current mileage was 3,942.
