Around 5000 miles I noticed my vehicle pulling the right. I took the car into lexus and asked for it to be repaired. When I picked the car up it seemed better but still not driving straight. I took it back again and they repaired it again. Back in july around 10000 miles I noticed the vehicle leaning to the right more than 1 inch.

Suspension · reported Nov 18, 2014
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.
Service Brakes · at 5,089 miles · reported Jun 30, 2014
I AM having issues with the brakes and ride height. Right front is low in the suspension. Materially lower than the left side. At downhill grade, brake pedal foes down but does not hold the car intermittent.
