2025 LEXUS TX

Filed Jun 23, 2026


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…

2012 LEXUS IS

Filed Jun 23, 2026


The dashboard on my 2012 Lexus IS 250 has developed significant cracking across the surface despite the vehicle being garage-kept, low mileage, and well-maintained throughout my ownership. The cracking is not the result of any accident, impact, or misuse — it appeared spontaneously and has progressively worsened over time. Lexus acknowledged this as a known defect by establishing Customer Support Program ZLZ, which provided extended coverage specifically for dashboard, instrument panel, and…

2025 LEXUS TX

Filed Jun 22, 2026


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…

2011 LEXUS IS

Filed Jun 20, 2026


The dash has started melting after being in hot weather. Despite ceramic window tint which reduces heat (and likely slowed the melting) the dah continues to melt. This results in significant shining and reduction in visibility. While there was an enhanced warranty program from Lexus in which they would repair the dash, the melting occurred shortly after that expired. They will not take responsibility and fix it as they should, given this is a KNOWN issue with serious safety concerns.

2026 LEXUS TX

Filed Jun 16, 2026


I purchased my vehicle 2026 Lexus tx350 from Lexus of Manchester located in [XXX]. As soon as I left the lot I noticed the hood would shake violently and almost pop up which signaled the safety latch alarm. The alarm would signal multiple times throughout a highway trip. Most noticeable around 70 mph. The dealership was helpful and set up an autobody repair where they added adhesive into the hood. Unfortunately the hood flutter is still present and it’s only a matter of time before the adhesive…

2025 LEXUS GX

Filed Jun 16, 2026


Sunroof tempered glass spontaneous explosion. Loud explosion startled me and my wife, good thing the sliding roof cover was closed otherwise small pieces of sharp glasses will hit us on our head, face and shoulders. Lexus of Oakland denied any product defect and blaming a foreign magnetic object hit the sunroof. I was only driving 20 mph in a residential neighborhood and no cars in front of me when the sunroof exploded. No warning lamp or symptoms prior to the incident. My wife and I were…

Other cars behind me were…

2020 LEXUS RX

Filed Jun 12, 2026


The panoramic sunroof has a shade, which is not closing. This causes a lot of sunlight to enter the vehicle which might be harmful to your skin and causes headaches. The repair is very expensive and there is no other way around it. I seen many owners raising concerns about the same issue happening to them, on youtube, reddit, google and other websites. This is an issue on the same model from around 2017-2022. This must be repaired by lexus, and improved so it doesn’t keep happening.
