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.

The actuator on the driver door went out and in 2025 and had to get replaced. I was not able to lock or unlock the drivers side door. All the doors would lock and unlock. Just the other car the front passenger doors actuator lock went out. It is doing the same, will not lock or unlock. I have to do it manually.

The rear middle seat child seatbelt retractor on my 2020 Lexus GX 460 failed internally — the belt became stuck and would not retract, rendering the child safety restraint position unusable. The failure was severe enough that the dealership (Tri-County Lexus, Little Falls, NJ) determined the vehicle was unsafe to drive with the affected seating position in use and grounded the vehicle pending repair. Lexus Corporate authorized replacement of the belt assembly (Part #73320-35010-A4) at no cost…

The contact owns a 2017 Lexus GX. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the center console repeatedly restarted and displayed a blank screen. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, but no failure was found. Additionally, while driving at 10 MPH, the vehicle experienced a total loss of motive power. No warning lights illuminated. After multiple attempts, the vehicle was restarted and driven normally. The dealer was not notified of the power loss failure, and the…

This issue began after I brought unrepaired recall concerns to the dealership’s General Manager and was told I would need to sign an NDA and failed to provide the recall part numbers as agreed. When I received my vehicle back, I immediately noticed physical changes to my instrument panel. I then reviewed four years of photos and videos stored on my original devices and discovered approximately twenty date‑stamped images showing drill holes, pry marks, tool damage, and components of the…

The back up camera would go black when reversing, creating a dangerous situation. It’s a known issue with the GX 460 model that when the radio gets corrupted and the infotainment screen goes black it will cause the back up camera to not function properly! I reached out to Lexus and they confirmed the issue is a bad logic (mother ) board that causes this and since it’s out of warranty they will not honor the repair or replacement of this highly dangerous situation. Your assistance is much…

In 2018 shottenkirk desert lexus marked two recalls as completed but also simultaneously typed in a note saying customer declined worked and is out of town The original part number and quantity fields are left blank. The dealership was paid for these items. I do not have anywhere in the vehicle history after that date showing any recalls were addressed.

Subject: Urgent Safety Concern – Driver Seatbelt Malfunction I am writing to formally report a serious safety concern regarding the driver-side seatbelt in my vehicle. The seatbelt does not retract properly and frequently becomes caught in the door. In addition, the retractor fails to pull the seatbelt back completely, leaving slack in the belt. More concerning, there have been multiple instances where the seatbelt did not properly engage or lock when braking was applied, even though it was…

2017 LEXUS GX

Filed May 30, 2026


The issue started with the engine stalling while I’m driving, and one day the car failed to start. I towed it to the dealership who said there is nothing wrong with the fuel pump and advised me to replace the battery. I replaced the battery and drove it for a couple more months, while the engine continued to stall from time to time and eventually failed to start again yesterday. It’s very apparent that the issue is with the fuel pump, and there is a recall for the fuel pump for the 2015, 2016,…

2021 LEXUS GX

Filed May 9, 2026


The driver’s seat is making cracking, clicking, popping, and creaking noises from the lower seat frame, seat rail, or mounting area where the seat attaches to the vehicle body. The noise is most noticeable during braking, acceleration, turning, driving over uneven roads, and when shifting body weight in the seat. It feels as though the seat has movement or play, as if the seat rails, frame, or mounting bolts may not be fully secure. This is a safety concern because the seat is part of the…
