I have a 2012 Lexus CT 200 with 75,000 miles and it is kept in my garage. Each year I have Lexus install snow tires on my car. I have regular oil changes and related services...and no mechanic saw this issue with the rusting bolts? Well isn't that a sad story. One would think the mechanics would be able to see issues like these before they become real problems.
I'm going to see how this turns out with my dealer and see if I will be buying any more Lexus cars.
