2022 Lexus NX WHEELS

My front driver tire flew off as I was exiting the expressway 8-7-22. The tire and wheel continued on to go through another vehicle’s windshield, Crash # 23080049 was filed by NV Highway Patrol Trooper E Thallon # 347.The car had 6300 miles at the time of the accident. It had its first customary 5K maintenance which included a tire rotation on 5-26-23. If I wouldn’t have been exiting the freeway, this would have happened in 5 lanes of traffic whIch could have killed me or other drivers as well. Since I drove 1391 miles since service, the dealer is claiming someone else did something to the tire. I never lost tire pressure and have had no reason to have anyone touch my tires. I purchased the car new 10-15-22 and also pre-paid for 3 years of customary maintenance as well as tire and wheel protection. The car is garage kept and just used for traveling short distances to my work/local places (within 25 miles of my home). After the dealer claimed no liability, I reached out to Lexus Corp who inspected and told me to have it fixed. I and my insurance are currently responsible for repairs, rental etc. If the dealer’s service center did not over-tighten a lug nut or not tighten one enough, there is a serious problem with this vehicle that needs to be investigated ASAP.

I purchased a new Lexus NX 350 on Oct 15, 2022. On Aug 7, 2023, with 6300 miles, my tire and wheel flew off while I was exiting a 5 lane highway. The tire continued rolling and went through the windshield of another vehicle. I was able to get the car off to the side of the exit ramp while riding on the rotor. The dealer claimed no responsibility even though the car had been in for its initial 5K service that included a tire rotation 1300 miles earlier. I asked Lexus Corporate to inspect the vehicle to protect others from a potential serious hazard. Lexus said the lug bolts were shorter in style and incompatible with the standard lug bolts. In addition the jack was missing. Why would I or anyone change lug bolts when the wheels and tires are still original? In addition, this SUV has 20” standard run flat tires which does not include a jack..
