2025 Lexus TX Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“My 2025 Lexus TX 500h has experienced an intermittent loss of acceleration from a stop approximately four times. The most recent incident occurred on September 27, 2026, at approximately 25,000 miles. At the time of the incident, the vehicle was in Eco mode. The engine had been started approximately five minutes earlier. I drove through a parking lot that is on a slight incline and came to a complete stop at a stop sign where the parking lot exits onto a public road. …”

“The vehicle looses power and hesitates to accelerate from a stop start. This happens when The HV Battery State of Charge (SOC) is below 30%. •The vehicle is in catalyst warm-up mode (cold start). The Motor Generator (MG) is in charge mode. As a result of this scenario I have almost been T boned 3 times while attempting a left turn from my home across a dual carriage lane. And again nearly rear ended because of the lack of power or hesitation. To me this is a big safety concern that Lexus do not have a credible fix for.”

“The electronic throttle control, vehicle speed control, and powertrain/transmission control system failed. When I press the pedal to accelerate there was no power. However I did not lose power to the vehicle as I can see the vehicle was in Drive mode but was not moving forward. I was on a decline hill and the decline helped me go downwards before a truck could hit me. This total loss of acceleration has occurred exactly 2 times within a 4-week period. The vehicle is currently located at the Lexus dealership service center and is available for immediate inspection upon request. …”

“When starting from a stop, putting foot on the gas pedal the car won’t move. Hesitates for a longtime. It has happened numerous times since purchased new. The manufacturer stated that engineering is looking into it, with no definitive answers. No warning lights. It just won’t go, at times which is a safety concerning especially when crossing with oncoming traffic. Unresponsive.”

“2025 Lexus TX350, approximately 27,000 miles. Vehicle exhibits rotational clicking/vibration from front drivetrain during acceleration while turning. Dealer is attributing issue to brake pad and rotor wear. Lexus TSB L-SB-0033-24 Rev1 documents a known front drive shaft assembly defect on this platform. TSB applicability check has not been performed. Requesting investigation into whether this defect extends to 2025 model year production.”
