Bought a brand new nx300h on 12/29/14 in nj. I was driving on the highway at 75 MPH and when I went to decelerate the engine started jerking like the car was breaking down. I've gone to different dealers...one told me they felt it and kept the car then to went on to tell me they gave me the wrong info and it wasn't my car. The other dealer told me recently they tested it against another nx300h and it drives the same...the operations manager told me they haven't had an nx since november. Had major visibility issues from day one with the wipers...massive ice formed on them and a smear right in my vision line kept forming. Had to bring it to three dealers before I was told there was a part missing from the wipers and then on the paperwork they said housing was cracked..again, the fishy communication doesn't make it clear what the issue was. The car has many other issues but these two are the biggest safety issues. I've started the process to make it a lemon so we will see where ti goes. Although I think it needs to be investigated since it is extremely dangerous and the dealers are making stuff up basically on what they compare it to and etc. Another issue is the mpg. They tried to tell me I dont know how to drive a hybrid. However my father has the rx350h and I am able to get better mpg with his car then mine. I've never seen 30. I know its an issue with my particular car bc I've spoken to other owners and they are not experiencing this.

The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, the federal safety agency opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified the federal safety agency he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by the federal safety agency regarding the subject matter of the petition.
