Default How can I make a serious complain to Lexus Japan

Dear All,
I am based in HK and I hv been driving my GS300 for 2.5 years since it was new, I hv warranty for 3 years. My exhaust got rusty and I brought my car back to Lexus and claim for a new Pipe. Lexus HK told me that my car was not serviced enough so the warranty is expried.

I am thinking myself the pipe got rusty does not related to any service at all, so I would like to make a complaint to the Lexus Headquater. It is purely a quality issue. Thanks for your help..!

what year is your car, because if its 2009, it should be GS350, not GS300?

The only valid thing they could say is you did not keep proper maintenance on it. Things like changing the oil, plugs and anything else the stealership can come up with to get out of warranty work. Don't let them mess with you just call corporate up

OP is in hong kong, outside of the US there are still plenty of gs300

to OP, continue to go up the chain in lexus hk. ask to speak with their supervisors or GM. service has nothing to do with rust on exhaust.
