Filed Jul 8, 2026


2012 Lexus IS 250 Complaint Category: Interior/Seat Belts/Air Bags → Interior Component: Interior Moldings/Trim/Panels Narrative This is a safety issue. The dashboard on my 2012 Lexus IS 250 has developed significant cracking and is actively decomposing into a gelatin-like texture, despite the vehicle being garage-kept, low mileage, and well-maintained throughout my ownership. This is not the result of any accident, impact, or misuse — it appeared spontaneously and has progressively worsened.…

2020 LEXUS ES

Filed Jul 8, 2026


The front timing chain cover on the engine was leaking at 53k miles. This is a 2GR-FKS engine. We have had the car for 19k miles, and bought it as a Certified Pre-Owned. We're looking at spending over 10% of the purchase price of the car on a repair, after barely having it for three years.

1 injured

On Juky 7, 2026 @ 10:30pm a catastrophic safety failure occurred involving a 2026 Lexus TX 350. The vehicle experienced a complete electrical and software failure while an occupant (my mother) was inside. All electronic door release buttons failed simultaneously, completely locking the occupant inside the vehicle. The emergency manual double-pull override mechanism on the interior door handles failed to mechanically release or open any of the doors. Concurrently, the climate control system…

2020 LEXUS NX

Filed Jul 7, 2026


While driving, my vehicle's check engine light came on and the vehicle entered limp mode without warning. It would not exceed 25 MPH and was stuck in 2WD, displaying the message reduced engine power – take vehicle to nearest dealer. This created a serious safety hazard, as the vehicle could not maintain safe speed in traffic. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. The Lexus dealer diagnosed trouble codes P219C00, P160500, P030027, and P0301300 — cylinder #1 air/fuel ratio imbalance,…

2024 LEXUS NX

Filed Jul 6, 2026


On 2026-07-05, my car started except the digital instrument panel was blank/black. This meant the digital gas and battery gauges weren't visible, in addition to the speedometer, etc. I tried restarting the car to see if it was a fluke but it did not come back. On 2026-07-06, the car worked fine / as expected, but after a google search, it seems like this happens to other owners as well in the past with no clear reason why. Wanted to report in case it becomes a larger thing.

2025 LEXUS TX

Filed Jul 6, 2026


We were driving down the highway and the vehicle started shaking. I immediately slowed down as I felt we had a flat. There was notification on the screen. I moved to the right onto the shoulder. Only after we were completely stopped did I see a low tire warning come on display. I slowly got out as the traffic was heavy. I could see the outer section of the tire came apart from both sides. As we were in a dangerous location someone called the police. Two police cars pulled behind us and…
