Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints 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.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Engine
Filed Apr 10, 2026

Starting in drive with the brakes depressed, when trying to accelerate with the gas pedal, the vehicle will not activate the engine from electric mode(EV). The car will not accelerate even with the gas pedal fully depressed. It has happened four times so far. Safety issue because when I’m pulling out into traffic to make a left or right turn, the car will not accelerate and therefore can get hit by oncoming traffic, especially when I am trying to merge into a lane with oncoming traffic. The car crawls and will not accelerate. My car is a hybrid vehicle. It almost feels as if the non electric engine doesn’t kick on when it is supposed to. The car will crawl for about 5-10 seconds before the engines engages and kicks on the acceleration. There are no warning lights or indication that anything is malfunctioning when this happens. I have not taken the vehicle in to the dealer yet.

I am a loyal Lexus owner since 1998 and have always recommended Lexus vehicles to my family and friends. In over 25 years of ownership, I have never experienced an issue like this. While driving under normal road conditions, my new 2024 RX 350’s AC condenser was punctured by small road debris, causing a refrigerant leak and loss of air conditioning. The condenser is located directly behind the front bumper, leaving it exposed to minor debris, which I believe is a design vulnerability. Damage at such low mileage suggests this may affect other vehicles of this model. Reduced AC performance could impact driver comfort and visibility in extreme heat, and operating the system with low refrigerant may cause further mechanical damage. I am submitting this complaint to request that NHTSA review this as a potential design defect affecting multiple vehicles. I have also contacted Lexus for warranty repair.

The vehicle's lower front fascia exhibits a design flaw, creating an unsafe gap that permits road debris to impact the condenser, leading to air conditioning system damage. This compromise in the A/C system's functionality results in an inability to adequately cool the vehicle's interior, thereby creating potentially unsafe operating conditions, particularly in high-temperature environments. It has been observed that dealerships are declining warranty coverage for these repairs, and the manufacturer has not provided any countermeasures to address this inherent design deficiency.

I have the exact same issue as this person https://www.clublexus.com/forums/tx-models-2024-present/1025518-new-problems-with-3rd-row-seats.html When I fold the 3rd row seat it leaves a bump under a loose cloth cover. If I remove the cover I see that a plastic attachment linking the spare wheel well to both sides of the trunk is bent. Lexus says that to replace it I need to replace the whole unit and it's also not covered by warrantee.

The plastic casing holding the driver seat cushion broke/detached itself after a couple of months of driving and even if put back in place it'll continue sliding and moving. It can interfere with my left foot while driving making it a hazard. Lexus reviewed the issue and said it was not covered by warranty.
