Driver assistance reportsComplaints 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.

I started my vehicle and thr complete infotainment screen was black, no display, no backup camera, nothing but a black screen. The volume button still worked and you could touch the screen and her things change but you could not see anything because the screen was black. It is like turning the brightness completely off a touchscreen, it works but you can't see anything. There are current recalls for this for other models but they say mine is not included. But I had the exact same problem with mine. It did not work until I turned my car off, returned and restarted my car, after that it worked normally. My can needs to be included in the recall.

Crash reported

Possible malfunction involves vehicle speed control and braking during a low-speed parking maneuver in my 2024 Lexus NX350h. While slowly pulling into a parking space, I was actively applying the brake and creeping forward. While my foot was on the brake, the vehicle suddenly surged/accelerated forward instead of continuing to decelerate. The vehicle ran over a sign and jumped a curb before I could stop it. The vehicle is available for inspection and is currently with the Lexus dealer. My safety and the safety of others were put at serious risk because this occurred unexpectedly while parking. If a pedestrian, fixed structure, or another vehicle had been in front of me, this could have caused severe injury or worse. Thankfully, I was not physically injured, but this was a traumatic event, and I was terrified. The problem has not been reproduced by me after the incident. At the time of this report, it has not yet been confirmed by the dealer or an independent repair facility. I have requested a full diagnostic inspection and review of all available stored data before any codes are cleared. The vehicle has been delivered to the Lexus dealer for inspection. The incident was also immediately reported to my insurance company. I do not know if Lexus manufacturer representatives or other parties will inspect it. I did not observe any warning lamps, messages, or unusual symptoms before the event, and this had never happened before.

There’s something wrong in the electrical system. In order to start the car, it requires boosting the battery only. Boosting under the hood doesn’t work with the lithium power packs charged 100%. After signing the financial documents the day I test drove it, I couldn’t drive it home if I wanted to. The car wouldn’t start. I don’t know how the dealer got it started but I have been intermittently boosting it to start. This happens whether the car sits a day or more. The last frequent boost was 3/17/2025. Another thing, the car can be in driver assistance with lane tracking and the lane tracking will shut off automatically. Also, when the lens of the cameras on the car gets wet, the cameras don’t work. They become foggy blank.

The passenger side blind spot monitoring system triggers when no cars are present. This causes the steering wheel to resist switching lanes. These false positives occur every day no matter the road condition or day/night. This is specifically apparent on highway driving above 50 mph

I was in a car accident on the freeway . I had just got onto the freeway so I couldn’t have been going that fast . The brakes on this Lexus Nx [XXX] to say the least . Also the collision sensor and warning also are useless. The warning light and sound didn’t go off until I was basically rear ending the other vehicle . I had a different , 10 year old car . A 2014 that would start to pump air and brake itself even when the car sensor believed it was close to a car and I wasn’t braking . This 2024 Lexus didn’t brake nor warn me in time . When I did notice the car in front of me had come to a complete stop I immediately hit the brakes but the car was still sliding forward ! This sliding motion happened once before when I made a u- turn and had to stop because of the line going into a shopping center . Luckily that time I had more space and lower speed and more time to react. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This vehicle has the standard headlights. No headlight cleaners included. Live in Colorado. When it snows, the front end of the car attracts snow to the point all the safety features shut down and the headlights pack up with snow so bad you cannot drive the car at night. You can’t see the road and other drivers flash their headlights to tell you the lights are not on, even though they are. Only solution is to pull over in the storm and brush the snow off the headlights. That last about 5 miles. This is a severe safety issue in which Lexus should be recalled to add headlight washers as part of the standard headlights.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
