That site is terrible. Data is very sparsely populated and logic to come up with their ratings is nuts.

It is at least a bit entertaining, though!

We don't have a lot of complaints on file for the Lexus LFA — feel free to add yours here. It's either not very popular ... or it's very, very good.

Car Complaints' rankings are worthless, but it is useful that it has the NHTSA complaints.

I wouldn't say it's worthless, but, I agree....I've seen better.

no one said that, it’s just a poorly populated website driven by extremely crappy unsound logic.

example the #1 worst Lexus problem reported (As noted in giant red font) is a door hinge on a 2014 es300h. oh, and there were only two incidents both reported by the same complainer.

not worth anyone’s time or views IMO

Great example of why it's worthless:

Okay, so I just got my brand freaking new Lexus GS350-F SPORT and on bumps or not even bumps, CLEAN roads that have a little chips and chumps, my car makes this noise like the bumper, or the engine, or the brakes are about to fail or my engine or something is about to fall off, keep in mind this is a $60.000 car, let that sink in...

Contacted the dealer to see what's going on, taking my car in but already I'm heading to dealers, I don't like the taste of Lexus already. So, I will update as soon as I get updates from dealer.................. Mother of God help me.
So I had a similar issue with my IS when it was new. Terrible rattle that popped up after a few weeks. I took it into the dealer, they determined it was the steering column plastic trim. Apparently, they missed that in pre-delivery inspection. Once it was fixed, the issue never returned! Not worth complaining about. People can be very entitled. Cars are noisy because they have to deal with a lot of vibrations and g-forces spread across many different parts that have seams with one another. It's inevitable that some noise will occur. So I'm saying "fake news", if you prefer that term, on this one - especially the hyperbole of "the bumper, or the engine, or the brakes are about to fail" - what a diagnosis!

Exactly what Dave said, its just not a legitimate sample or reported properly. Not nearly enough data provided to them for them to claim any sort of conclusion.
