Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Fuel system
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, 2019, and 2020 models of the Lexus GX460, and my car is the 2017 model. I believe the recall should have been issued for all the models from 2015 to 2020.
