Well I called lexus corp. and told them of my issue. The Lexus Field Engineer came ot my office and picked up my car. They drove it and said it was within "lexus specs" . I then called back to lexus corporate and spoke with the "manager" she informed me that I could no longer talk to them and that I needed to call NCDS? I have since inquired to a lawyer so we will see. I just think it is ****ty of Lexus to basically throw their hands up and say...don't contact us call them (NCDS)

The first time they rebalanced the tires.
The second they told me i had 2 bent rims (the front 2)-we all know how heavy and solid those factory rims are...I would have known if I hit something. The told me that it would be $200 dollars to straigten the rims (I paid half $100)
The third time they said the newly re-bent rim wasn't balanced correctly
The forth time balancing again
The fifth time the supposidly replaced the front wheel with a PDI car.
I have been driving the car this way for about 1-week and the problem is now more in the 75-80 mph range.
What should I do? Anyone have this problem or are your cars smooth in the wheel at all speeds. When does lemon law come into play or does it with this type of issue?
-- I relize this a supposedly a sports car and I can tell the differance between road feedback and a odd vibration. Thanks for repsonses in advance.
