I don't get it though. the tires sidewalls were blown out? nails in tires? bent rims? what?

were knifed or hit something really hard. If it is the latter then
the rims will probably be pretty damaged.
I am not taking anyone's side because I just don't know the
whole story. In this world there are both unethical dealers
and customers.

tires dont just burst randomly, sounds like the dealership is giggin' ya (you mentioned you've been to them a bunch, ALL serv. dept's don't like to work on the same prob. from the same. customer). Tires don't randomly burst alllll of a sudden, and any sig. damage to tires would have led to wheel problems and susp. misalignment.
If the tires were underinflated=dealership fault for not keeping gen. maint on their loaners
If tires overinflated=dealership fault for not keeping gen. maint.
And if the tire was bruised on a side, it would be very possible to find the location of such, dealership is just acting sketch to me.
Not gonna lie man, toss the car.
Find a dealership of any car maker that is friendly to you, proceed to buy new car.
Whats the dealership you used? I'll be sure to stay away from them.

My father had a problem once with just getting a loaner. It was a Cadillac, a nice one, but still a Cadillac. Anyways, my father had to go to a meeting and he just told the service manager, I do not want to be driving a Cadillac to a meeting. Is there any way possible you could get me into another Lexus. The manager checked and said that he would give him an ES330 to drive. I don't see why you didn't just ask for another car, if the problem seemed so eminent from the outside; such as the cracked glass.

1)What he says about Lexus corporate is very true. They do not tell you this to blow you off; it is how the company is organized. Dealerships are privately owned. They will help you with your car, but personal issues with the dealerships are between you and the dealership.
2)If they let the air out of the tires and told him he damaged the car just to get back at him or get him to go elsewhere is childish. If multiple managers were involved, this is as stretch.
3)A dealership has the right to refuse to service your car. Most would fix the original and resolve the other issues that arise from the original before telling you they no longer want your business.
4)However, I was told they could not refuse to provide warrantee work. Not sure where that line is drawn.
Hope this helps

Sorry about your luck.
My Lexus dealer would never give out a loaner car that had a cracked windshield, engine light on, and two damaged tires. They are always very clean inside and out and no more than a year old. Sounds like you went to a KIA dealership.
