There is a significant squeal when braking at low speed in both forward and reverse. I am unsure whether this is a safety issue or not, but there is evidence online that other owners are experiencing the same issue.

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…

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…

The GX 550 has many people online complaining about the windshields cracking from the bottom for no reason. The crack is getting worse and close to line of sight. This is happening without something striking it.
