ALMOST THE EXACT COMPLAINT AS ODI ID NUMBER 755661. I DISAGREE THAT THIS IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE CONTACTED LEXUS REGARDING THIS AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD "TOO BAD".
THE ROTORS ON THE DISC BRAKES HAVE WARPED THREE TIMES IN APP. 8000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER CONCEDES THAT THE BRAKES ARE INADEQUATE FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, WHEN IT IS OWNED BY PEOPLE IN HILLY AREAS. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATES THAT THE PROBLEM OF BRAKES OVERHEATING IS PERVASIVE, BUT SAYS IT IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW.
