2006 LEXUS IS 250 — Complaint #1557890
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) filed April 15, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1557890 (ODI reference 11196180) concerns a 2006 LEXUS IS 250 and was filed on April 15, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 2, 2018. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electronic stability control (esc), one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same LEXUS IS 250 cohort independently describe similar electronic stability control (esc) failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 LEXUS IS 250 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
