VEHICLE LEANS EXCESSIVELY TO THE RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE). WE FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. IT APPEARS TO PROMOTE PREMATURE WEAR OF TIRES ON LEANING SIDE.LEXUS SAYS IT'S WITHIN IT'S SPECIFICATIONS. WE DID FIND OUT THE COMPANY , DEALER MANAGEMENT, SALES, AND SERVICE WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE DEFECT PRIOR TO THE SALE TO US. THE DEALER DID AN UPGRADE WHICH 'DID NOT' SOLVE THE LEAN. ALSO THERE REMAINS A ACIDIC SMELL LIKE DRIED URINE WHICH WILL NOT GO AWAY. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE NEW CAR SMELL BUT HASN'T GONE AWAY. *TR
