To whom it may concern; greetings, it is with extreme disappointment, frustration and trauma that we notify you of a third burn in our car. On Friday, 14 February we experienced a 2nd smoke and burn stain on the arm rest in the rear. Yet again the car was in motion, time was approximately 3:30P, we had 4:30P dinner reservations. As suggested during our last visit Monday, 20 January a possible reflection from something in the car could have started the smoke and burn. We are baffled, traumatized and extremely concerned about these issues that randomly occur when the car is in motion. We are fearful of driving the car with ease and comfort promised by the Lexus brand. We were advised to removed the car from our garage, remove the cross hanging from the rear view mirror yet again we have another issue. Since purchasing this car, we have experienced issue after issue with random burning being most severe. We are trying to enjoy our car and have faith in this brand. We must say it is quite challenging to say the lease. Please tell us next steps and what our options are. Patching burn marks is not a solution to these ongoing issues. We look forward to hearing from you soon. We have provided pictures of the burn mark for your review. Third burn issue overall and second burn issue on rear armrest.

Mr. Rick took photos to send to a Lexus specialist for review. Mr. Rick suggested that this might have occurred do to owners error. Either something spilled in that area or it was a reflection of some object that caused this issue to occur. We informed him that this had to have happened do to heating elements malfunctioning and it ignited from inside outward. While in motion on the highway.

The driver side front tire scratches the fender when turning half way right. I reported to the dealer, dealer also showed me the same model which has the same issue, then he said he can do nothing with this, so this is normal
