Example complaints
Other or unknown: “Trim around front center A/C cracked. I sat in parked and heard a crack. I assume it was due to heat from sunlight. Cracked after less than 2 years of ownership. Bought brand new. Area around cup holder also cracked after about 1.5 years of ownership. Contacted Lexus about this but nothing was done. They said they would get back to me but that was 1 year ago.”
NHTSA complaint #11324647, filed 2020-05, 20,000 milesBrakes: “The contact owns a 2017 Lexus NX200T. While driving various speeds and applying the brakes, the pedal traveled to the floor. The contact had to pump the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 15.”
NHTSA complaint #10945785, filed 2017-01, 15 milesTires: “Purchased a new 2017 Lexus nx on may 28, 2017. On june 23, 2017 while washing car for first time, I saw a crack/split in tire sidewall about 3-4 long. Advised dealer it was defect. Dealer argues it could have been due to hitting a curb. There has not been any accidents, running over nails or screws or hitting anything with the tire/car. This tire is driver rear side and I fear a blowout could occur. The crack has most likely been present since car was purchased. There are no scuffs, marks, etc. On tire. I have photos but no place to attach them here.”
