Owner report 11708771 · 2026-01-05 (January 5, 2026)

We leased the Lexus at the end of May 2025. My husband I drove the car. It was nice. My husband and I are in our early [XXX] . Meaning we are very capable of driving. We both ride motorcycles, snowmobiles, dirt bikes,4 wheeling and we also own 1957 truck, 2024 corvette, and we even both drove our own corvettes at the spring mountain in Nevada. That being said this car is a nightmare. I don’t need a car to take over my driving, braking, and anything else. Whether it’s driving 75-80mph and you are on a major interstate and it decides that…

While stopped in traffic with my foot firmly on the brake pedal, my vehicle began accelerating forward unexpectedly. The vehicle seemed "possessed". It was as if the gas pedal was fully on the ground while my foot was still on the brake, so the car was lurching and seemed to be fighting itself. The vehicle continued moving forward and would not stop despite sustained and hard brake pressure. I was rapidly closing distance on the vehicle in front of me and narrowly avoided a collision by inches. The vehicle only stopped after I shifted it into p…

Owner report 11747786 · 2026-07-01 (July 1, 2026)

I am reporting two separate but related fuel-system defects on my 2025 Lexus TX500h (VIN [XXX]) that raise safety concerns and appear to be widespread across Lexus TX and NX hybrid models. FUEL FILLER DOOR FAILS TO OPEN: The electronic fuel filler door intermittently fails to open when the release is activated. It sometimes requires multiple attempts, and at times will not open at all, leaving the vehicle unable to be refueled. This creates a safety risk of being stranded with no ability to add fuel, including the risk of running out of fuel on…

The electronic throttle control, vehicle speed control, and powertrain/transmission control system failed. When I press the pedal to accelerate there was no power. However I did not lose power to the vehicle as I can see the vehicle was in Drive mode but was not moving forward. I was on a decline hill and the decline helped me go downwards before a truck could hit me. This total loss of acceleration has occurred exactly 2 times within a 4-week period. The vehicle is currently located at the Lexus dealership service center and is available for i…

Owner report 11679221 · 2025-08-07 (August 7, 2025)

The vehicle looses power and hesitates to accelerate from a stop start. This happens when The HV Battery State of Charge (SOC) is below 30%. •The vehicle is in catalyst warm-up mode (cold start). The Motor Generator (MG) is in charge mode. As a result of this scenario I have almost been T boned 3 times while attempting a left turn from my home across a dual carriage lane. And again nearly rear ended because of the lack of power or hesitation. To me this is a big safety concern that Lexus do not have a credible fix for.

Owner report 11764566 · 2026-09-15 (September 15, 2026)

I am reporting a severe, systemic vehicle performance discrepancy on my 2025 Lexus TX 350h (2.4L Turbo Hybrid powertrain). The vehicle is officially labeled with an EPA rating of 23 MPG combined. However, under normal, conservative driving conditions, the vehicle routinely achieves only 17-17.7 MPG, a consistent 26%+ shortfall from the manufacturer's certified window sticker metrics. I have never gotten EPA higher than 17.7 since owning the new car. This has drastically limited the vehicle's safe total driving range to under 300 miles per tank. …

Similar incident happened once again on 03/22/26. Called assistance they jump start the car again. The concern here is that it is happening to brand new car ran for only 2000-2400 miles.

On Saturday, August 22, 2026, while traveling on the highway with my two toddler-aged children in the vehicle, the temperature gauge entered the red zone and the vehicle automatically reduced power due to overheating. This forced me to navigate a power-reduced vehicle on a highway with minor children , a serious safety hazard. This incident occurred just five days after my vehicle was in the Sewell Lexus service department on August 17, 2026 for its 10,000-mile service and a warranty repair to the rear evaporator case (a known design defect). …

Basically, the instrument cluster lighting is very, very poor. Very difficult to read when driving, especially in a day break. You must turn off your daylight running lights to make it a little bit brighter. This is a problem.

While my 2025 Lexus TX was parked in my residential garage, the vehicle suddenly locked itself with my [XXX] and [XXX] children and my phone inside. The doors had been unlocked prior to placing them in the vehicle. Without warning, the vehicle locked all doors and windows. The key fob failed to unlock the vehicle electronically or manually. My husband and I attempted for over 30 minutes to gain access while the children remained trapped inside before calling the dealership for technical help. They instead transferred us to Lexus roadside assi…

On our 2025 Lexus TX350, less than 1 year old, and under normal driving conditions, our AC stopped working suddenly. Upon inspection at the dealership, they determined a rock or road debris came through the front grill and impacted the condenser, which caused a major refrigerant leak and ac to stop working. I believe this was due to a poor design of the lower half of the front grill, it’s wide open and offers little to no protection to ac and engine components. They should have a better honeycomb or similar grill to protect components. The refr…

y 2025 Lexus TX500h experienced sudden and complete AC failure at fewer than 25,000 miles, 18 months after purchase. The selling dealer diagnosed a refrigerant leak from the AC condenser and denied warranty coverage citing road debris impact damage. No photographic documentation of a discrete impact event or specific leak point was provided to support the denial. This failure is consistent with a documented, systemic design vulnerability in the Lexus TX platform. The vehicle's wide-open front grille design allows road debris direct access to th…

I am reporting two separate but related fuel-system defects on my 2025 Lexus TX500h (VIN [XXX]) that raise safety concerns and appear to be widespread across Lexus TX and NX hybrid models. FUEL FILLER DOOR FAILS TO OPEN: The electronic fuel filler door intermittently fails to open when the release is activated. It sometimes requires multiple attempts, and at times will not open at all, leaving the vehicle unable to be refueled. This creates a safety risk of being stranded with no ability to add fuel, including the risk of running out of fuel on…

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

No selected model years have a complete observation window. Choose an eligible year or a shorter window.

Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
