What 2017 Lexus NX200T owners say
Wheels & tires
After replacing tires, at highway speeds the car shakes. Replaced the replacement tires with a different manufacturer and tread type and still have the same vibration at the same speed(s). Tire place put a total of 10 tires on the vehicle to no avail and road force balanced the tires. Recommended I take the vehicle to the dealership. The Lexus dealership said that only the exact tires that came on the car would guarantee the car wouldn't shake. They roadforce blanched the same tires and came up with vastly different results 2 weeks apart. When asked what would happen when the tires that came on the vehicle would be discontinued there was no response. So, in short, Lexus has made a vehicle that, once the OEM selected tires are discontinued, will no longer provide a smooth ride.
Purchased a new 2017 Lexus nx on May 28, 2017. On June 23, 2017 while washing car for first time, I saw a crack/split in tire sidewall about 3-4" long. Advised dealer it was defect. Dealer argues it could have been due to hitting a curb. There has not been any accidents, running over nails or screws or hitting anything with the tire/car. This tire is driver rear side and I fear a blowout could occur. The crack has most likely been present since car was purchased. There are no scuffs, marks, etc. On tire. I have photos but no place to attach them here.

Traveling on on h-1 east freeway, near the radford pedestrian overpass, in honolulu, hawaii, on way to airport when brakes applied and did not work, car continued to accelerate.
