lexus has recalls (there are couple current ones I think), everyone has recalls. But statistics do not lie. H/K/G have consistently been in the top 4 on reliability for the past several years.

Based on what, JD power scores? Yeah, that's really credible...

110k miles is nothing. Also I'm talking more recent vehicles. Go luck up the non-stop amount of engine recalls in the last 9 or 10 years.

You're one of those who is like "Hyundai and Kia have had 100 recalls in the last decade, but since Toyota/Lexus have had 8, it's the same since they both have had recalls."

The bottom line is, 110k miles is not nothing. I have only had two cars that I have kept past that mileage in my life. Cars can and will start to have all kinds of issues after that mileage, Toyota’s included.

That's more than 4 times around the earth's equator and almost half the distance to the moon.

JD Power is garbage.
I'm not going to do your job for you - simple google search will give you reliability studies from credible resources.
they all back my point.
just cause you got a lemon doesn't make you right.

no need for the unpleasant tone. not quite sure you who're responding to who you think got a lemon - quoting their post would be helpful though. anyway, please try to keep it civil. if you object to another post, there's a 'report post' icon (white triangle with red border) which will let the moderator's know of something you found objectionable. Thank you.

he understood that, it was a request for the tone of that response.

Xjokerz’s replies were also an issue and I already posted regarding those. Your reply continued the escalation.

because they accept money from manufacturers, which makes their finding questinable.
there has to be a reason GM wins a lot of awards from them

Looking at their ratings I don’t see GM winning many awards.

Lexus used to pay for these awards in the early days of the brand.
