2021 LEXUS GX
Filed Oct 22, 2026
Sunroof randomly exploded while driving on the highway. Nothing hit it or otherwise caused the breakage. I was travelling at a normal constant speed on a normal temperature day. Glass got all over me and inside the sunroof's opening mechanism. Lexus replaced the glass but refused to repair the housing / opening mechanism.
2024 LEXUS RX
Filed Oct 21, 2026
On October 16, 2026, the panoramic sunroof glass on my 2024 Lexus RX 500h shattered without any impact. The vehicle had about 78,000 miles. I was driving at roughly 70 mph on a highway when the glass burst with a loud bang. The glass blew upward and outward, not inward, and there was no road debris, no overhead object and no sign of anything striking the roof. No impact point or chip is visible on the remaining glass. No one was injured. The vehicle was out of the 4-year/50,000-mile basic…

2016 LEXUS NX
Filed Oct 19, 2026
Vehicle is a 2016 Lexus NX 200t F Sport. While driving, the vehicle suffered a sudden and dangerous loss of engine power and stalled in active traffic, matching the symptoms of the major Denso low-pressure fuel pump recalls (NHTSA Campaign 20V-682). The vehicle was repaired at an authorized Lexus dealership in the US at an out-of-pocket cost of $1,700. The manufacturer refuses to acknowledge the safety defect because the vehicle's VIN was originally coded for the Canadian market, despite the…
2026 LEXUS TX
Filed Oct 16, 2026
The rear steering is malfunctioning, causing the car to pull. We had it realigned twice, and it's still doing the same thing. We are told by Lexus that the rear steering apparatus is broken and needs to be replaced, at a cost of $8700 to us. Although this occurred initially under normal driving conditions, they are claiming that it's not something that is covered under their warranty. Numerous cases of faulty rear steering have been reported for the Lexus TX and its equivalent, the Toyota…

2024 LEXUS TX
Filed Oct 16, 2026
2024 Lexus TX 500h Luxury. Since I bought it new, the vehicle has intermittently failed to accelerate from a stop. I have reported it to my Lexus dealer at every 5,000-mile service. Lexus TAS case numbers:[XXX] and [XXX]. The dealer applied Lexus TSB L-SB-0026-25 (Hesitation From a Stop), a TCM reprogram. It reduced how often it happens but did not fix it. It still occurs, and is worse in Arizona summer heat with the A/C on max. It matches the TSB conditions: it happens when the energy monitor…
2026 LEXUS TX
Filed Oct 14, 2026
The air conditioning suddenly stopped working and it was 107 outside. I took the Lexus TX to Lexus service and they said a pebble went through the condenser. I had leased the car brand new in June 2026 and right now it's October 2026. I drive mostly on residential streets. I don't actually know what pebble hit the condenser or when it happened, the air conditioning just stopped working October 8. Lexus said it could have been a slow leak or leaked out quickly and there's not way to know. …
2020 LEXUS RX
Filed Oct 14, 2026
Rear tail lights have started to crack internally. Concern that moisture will short out lights which becomes a safety concern.
2013 LEXUS LS
Filed Oct 13, 2026
After retrieving my vehicle from the Lexus dealership following diagnostic service, I drove the car home with no electrical issues. All hub electronics, displays, and interior systems functioned normally during the entire drive. The next morning, while the vehicle was parked, turned off, and untouched overnight, the brake actuator pump began running on its own. I recorded video evidence of the pump operating without any driver input. This uncommanded pump activation drained the battery to the…
