NHTSA SAFETY COMPLAINT NARRATIVE Vehicle: 2016 Lexus RC F | VIN: [XXX] Recall: Campaign 26LA05 (Fuel Pump Kit 04002-19238) Dealer: Nalley Lexus Roswell | Invoice: RO# [XXX] Odometer: In: 87,174 | Out: 87,177 (Only 3 test miles driven) DEFECT & EVIDENCE: Lexus introduced a severe post-recall safety defect and refuses to repair it. Following recall work, the vehicle immediately developed an engine stumble and limp-mode condition under high acceleration (4,000–7,000 RPM), matching peak fuel demand. The dealer pulled static camshaft circuit codes (P1365/P1367) and falsely claimed a "coincidental" component failure, refusing to run dynamic fuel-pressure tests. I have video proof disproving their claim: High Fuel Demand: High RPMs starve the engine, instantly triggering the Check Engine Light (CEL). Low Fuel Demand: Driving gently at low RPMs for 10–11 miles causes the ECU to automatically clear the CEL (multiple times recreated) A physical electrical failure is permanent and static; it cannot self-heal based on driving style. This proves the root cause is dynamic fuel starvation from a botched recall. REQUESTED ACTION: This is a severe crash hazard when merging on highways. I request an investigation into Nalley Lexus Roswell and demand Lexus dispatch a Field Technical Specialist to inspect the ECU and remedy the defect without charge.
