The 2010LEXUSGS carries 13 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 2 crashes, 0 fires, 2 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2010 GS is unknown or other with 3 filings, followed by air bags (2) and structure:body (2). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 3 investigation files overlapping the 2010 GS. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

Estimados, Mi nombre es [XXX] , residente de Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. Soy propietario de un Lexus IS250 2010, VIN [XXX] . Recientemente acudà a un concesionario Lexus para solicitar evaluación del deterioro del tablero y paneles interiores (superficies pegajosas y agrietadas). El concesionario negó la asistencia indicando que la lectura actual del odómetro no coincide con la última registrada en su sistema. Deseo aclarar que el problema del tablero y paneles es un defecto de material ampliamente documentado y no guarda relación con el millaje del vehÃculo. Por tal razón, solicito respetuosamente que mi caso sea evaluado por Lexus Corporate bajo criterios de asistencia voluntaria o buena voluntad, independientemente de la discrepancia del odómetro. Agradeceré la revisión de este caso y orientación sobre los próximos pasos. Att [XXX] Toa Baja, Puerto Rico Tel. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My parents involved to an accident, my mom's head and my dad's rips and neck get injured( send to hospital with the police report). We believe that the airbags should deployed.

While I was driving at the end of traffic (Light just turned green), when my sunroof (Glass) exploded. Was a very loud bang, glass fell all over the center console, driver side (On my arm, hair) and passenger side. Luckily I was the only one in the car. I informed my insurance of the damage and sent them pictures, I can show you as well.

RECALLS
THE REPLACEMENT OF MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IS TAKING FAR TOO LONG. LEXUS OFFERED TO GIVE US AN ECONOMY SIZE RENTAL CAR BUT, THAT IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR MY FAMILY SO I HAVE CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY UNSAFE CAR. LEXUS HAS NOT GIVEN US ANY INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE REPLACEMENT WILL BE MADE. WE JUST PRAY WE ARE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND.
WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHILE IN DRIVE THE RPMS RANDOMLY INCREASE FROM 500 TO 1000 AND THE CAR INCHES UP UNLESS I APPLY MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. THIS IS USUALLY NOTICEABLE WHILE I AM IN THE DRIVE-THRU AT FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS WHILE WAITING IN LINE. WHILE WAITING FOR 5 OR SO MINUTES IT USUALLY OCCURS 2-3 TIMES. I RARELY NOTICE IT HAPPEN AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AS THEY USUALLY DON'T LAST THAT LONG. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST A FEW TIMES A WEEK.
