At just under 90,000 miles on the odometer, a major fluid leak started.  It turns out that the rear main (crankshaft) seal had failed, causing a leak of transmission oil.  No warning lamps or messages appeared. This failure resulted in an extraordinarily expensive repair, over $2,500.00 at the dealer, Lexus of Greenwood Village (Colorado). It was not covered on warranty.  This is a major safety issue - had I not noticed the leak, which occurred without warning, the engine could have seized on a highway, leading to a crash. This failed seal should be designed to last far longer than 90,000 miles.   Premature failure of this kind is highly likely secondary to a defect in design or materials.  I have complained to Lexus, which is unwilling to take any responsibility for this.  Please investigate as to whether a recall is warranted, and whether the manufacturer should be responsible for the repair of this obvious defect.   Thanks.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"LEXUS","productModel":"NX","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
