Safety Features

2013 Lexus IS F 4 DR RWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2013 Lexus IS F 4 DR RWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i am writing to bring to your attention the grave matter of odometer rollback fraud, consumer law violations, and a series of fraudulent activities that have occurred in connection with my recent vehicle purchase. i am seeking a settlement of $60,000 to rectify the significant damages and hardships i have endured as a result of these unethical practices. the issues at hand stem from the fraudulent rollback of the odometer by 100,000 miles on the vehicle i purchased from a moving rides dealership. this deception has not only violated various consumer protection laws and department of motor vehicle regulations but has also endangered my safety and well-being by knowingly selling me a vehicle that was not roadworthy and unsafe to operate . in light of these unfortunate events, i would like to detail a few aspects for which i am seeking compensation: 1. reimbursement for travel expenses: i incurred considerable expenses, both monetary and time-wise, traveling a total of 1,025 miles for trips related to the purchase and subsequent issues with the vehicle. the 22 hours spent on the road and the three days of missed work have imposed severe financial strain. 2. insurance payment refund: i was coerced into obtaining insurance coverage before taking possession of the vehicle, due to misrepresentation of the condition of the vehicle i didn’t get to take the car home till three weeks after the purchase. 3. down payment refund: the undue distress caused by this fraudulent transaction warrants the return of my initial down payment. 4. legal fees and filing costs: pursuing justice has come at a significant cost, both in terms of legal representation and filing fees, which i believe should be compensated. 5. vehicle rental reimbursement: the unsafe condition of the purchased vehicle, compounded by expired tags, made it essential for me to secure alternative transportation for both work and personal use. 6. restitution for pain and suffering"
