Lexus TX500h

On Juky 7, 2026 @ 10:30pm a catastrophic safety failure occurred involving a 2026 Lexus TX 350. The vehicle experienced a complete electrical and software failure while an occupant (my mother) was inside. All electronic door release buttons failed simultaneously, completely locking the occupant inside the vehicle. The emergency manual double-pull override mechanism on the interior door handles failed to mechanically release or open any of the doors. Concurrently, the climate control system…

We were driving down the highway and the vehicle started shaking. I immediately slowed down as I felt we had a flat. There was notification on the screen. I moved to the right onto the shoulder. Only after we were completely stopped did I see a low tire warning come on display. I slowly got out as the traffic was heavy. I could see the outer section of the tire came apart from both sides. As we were in a dangerous location someone called the police. Two police cars pulled behind us and…

I am reporting two separate but related fuel-system defects on my 2025 Lexus TX500h (VIN [XXX]) that raise safety concerns and appear to be widespread across Lexus TX and NX hybrid models. FUEL FILLER DOOR FAILS TO OPEN: The electronic fuel filler door intermittently fails to open when the release is activated. It sometimes requires multiple attempts, and at times will not open at all, leaving the vehicle unable to be refueled. This creates a safety risk of being stranded with no ability to add…

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…

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…

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…

The fumes caused persistent headaches that lasted two days. The contact had not sought medical attention. Upon inspection, the owner was unable to locate a visible fuel leak. The vehicle was moved to the driveway and was later towed to the dealer. After an extensive diagnostic test was performed by the…

On two occasions while driving my hood has become open due to windy conditions coming from the Makua side of the highway as I’m driving on the Queen Kaahumanu Highway Today was the second incident except that I was heading south The first time that happened I was driving north and it occurred probably about a few months ago, but I dismissed it I know for a fact that I did not open the engine compartment I will download my front camera files and see if I can find a record

The Lexus TX 500h is equipped with a 6-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission, which is paired with the Lexus DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system. This setup utilizes a 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain to deliver 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. During many occasions, the transmission on the 2026 Lexus TX500h would shudder during acceleration or deacceleration. I noticed it happening around 25-40mph mostly and it has happened more than once. I have demonstrated the issue to…
