I PURCHASED MY TWO NEW 2012 LEXUS CT200HS IN DECEMBER 2012 WITH 23 MILES ON IT. ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN TOTALLY FINE. THE OTHER ONE, FROM THE FIRST DAY, HAD A VERY JITTERY RIDE. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE RIDE WAS ABNORMAL AND THEY REPLACED ALL 4 MICHELIN TIRES. THE TIRE REPLACEMENT DID NOT CHANGE THE CARS RIDE OR BEHAVIOR. I'VE RETURNED TO 2 LEXUS DEALERSHIPS MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL AS HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH LEXUS HQ, AND THEY'RE ALL NOW SAYING THAT THE CAR IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. I CAN DEAL WITH A ROUGH RIDING CAR, BUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THIS LEXUS HAS A HIGH FREQUENCY VIBRATION THAT TRAVELS THROUGH THE CAR: CAN FEEL IN THE FLOOR, STEERING WHEEL, DOORS, SEATS. I COMMUTE 17 MILES TO WORK AND BY THE TIME I EXIT THE HIGHWAY, MY FEET AND LOWER LEGS ARE NEARLY NUMB FROM THE VIBRATION. THE CAR IS PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTING TO DRIVE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT LEXUS WOULD CALL THIS DRIVING EXPERIENCE AS "PERFORMING AS DESIGNED". *TR

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
