Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.
Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
With no indication while driving on 55 MPH highway the side wall nearly completely ripped off. Not only a hazzard, but suspectious similar to the same tire's 275/65R18 2018-2019 recall. tire size: M+S 265/60R18 110T DOT: UT801XF55022 DIY inspection: Front end was still solid so put on spare to get home. Still need to see tire dealer and uncertain if rim damage. All wheel drive so will need to replace all 4 tires.
The recall Toyota did for the rear back up camera. This has been a known issue as far back as 2014. My camera/screen is off more than it is operable.
On accident air bag doesn’t open but car get total loss
Constant rebooting of the Infotainment system which includes heat/air conditioning - defrosting of windows etc. I have had this problem for more than a year. I have consulted with Lexus dealerships. I was told this problem exists with various models of Toyota and Lexus. Every time I start the vehicle - it starts rebooting - then the screen keeps blinking on and off like it is beginning to start then it stops. I have disconnected the battery to re attempt. Works for 2 minutes than fails. I purchased a micro SD card for 2014. Worked for a day then on the screen states need a dealership. Then I leave it for days, it starts as normal then starts the re-boot. Totally frustrated. Dealer problem. Should be a re-call....Not a $4000 repair.
The infotainment center in my 2014 GX460 is stuck in the rebooting phase. This system controls the cars temperature, radio, and vehicle settings. Not being able to access all of the temperature controls poses a safety risk especially with extreme temperatures. Ive heard this is a common issue with this vehicle and am shocked there hasn’t been a recall for it.
The infotainment screen on my 2014 Lexus GX 460 has been restarting continuously, rendering it unusable. This system controls essential functions, including the air conditioning, vehicle settings, CD player, and Bluetooth connectivity. Due to the screen constantly restarting, I cannot adjust the AC, use the CD player, or connect my phone via Bluetooth. These malfunctions could pose a safety risk, especially if the AC cannot be adjusted in extreme weather conditions. There were no warning lights or error messages before the issue began. I have not yet had the issue inspected by a dealer or independent service center, but I plan to do so.
Faulty coolant valley seal leaking coolant all over the motor.
MY CAR 2014 GX 460 WITH 76000 MILES HAS TIMING CHAIN COVER LEAK AND IT APPEARS IT IS COMMON FAILURE FROM MANUFACTURE OF TOYOTA AND LEXUS AND LEXUS REFUSED TO REPAIR IT , MY CAR IT IS ONE OF 1000S CAR HAS SAME PROBLEM AND LEXUS KNOW THIS IS MANUFACTURED PROBLEM

Some 2010 – 2026 model year Lexus vehicles may exhibit paint stains after the removal of Rapgard™. The paint stains may appear to be under the clear coat but are usually under wrinkles in the Rapgard™. The wrinkles may trap water and cause the paint to stain from the trapped moisture, especially on horizontal surfaces such as the hood, roof, and trunk.

They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
