On October 22, 2022 while driving on the freeway at 55 MPH my front driver side tire lost all pressure rapidly.

I have replaced two sets of tires in under 30,000 miles. Based on an online search I have found that this issue is widespread to Lexus owners. Here is one forum discussing the issue…

after I get gas my car wont start. This has been happening for about 9 months. It takes about 10 mins for the car to turn on. Yesterday after I got gas and was driving, my car completely shut off in the middle of the freeway- thought I was going to die. VERY dangerous. Took my car to lexus back in may to be fixed and the issue was NOT fixed. They put new gas in my car and told me that was the issue... was not.
