When we purchased this car in June 2024 it did not have an engine revving issue. The engine, electrical or transmission maybe all of them have SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES! When driving and you let off the gas pedal the engine starts revving very loudly, it scares the heck out of you because you don't know...
Lexus RX Sunroof exploded on it's own. I just left my driveway and was the only vehicle on the road. There were no projectiles, the sunroof glass simply exploded and glass flew into the air. if I was driving at 60 MPH, the exploded glass would have become a projectile and could seriously hurt a byst...
While driving on the freeway the sun roof "exploded" shattering glass out onto the highway. The noise was loud and frightening. Upon pulling over I observed most of the sunroof was gone with fragments of glass remaining along the edges of the roof. I believe this to be a major safety issue. If t...
gas gauge very inaccurate. manual calls for 'low fuel' at 2.6 gallons, actually comes on between 7 -8 gallons left in tank. Dealer accepts it is a problem but has no solution. attempting to get full range may leave car out of gas on highway, since gauge cannot be trusted.
We live on dirt road in Kansas, and must drive 2.5 miles to get to paved road. This RX 500h Sport does NOT have proper gaskets around the doors. We can actually see dust rolling into the front and back doors as we drive. We have had numerousLexus RXs,& GXs over the years and never experienced a dus...
I experienced a sudden release of toxic fumes from the vehicle between the steering column and instrument panel area on June 29, 2025, while driving.

My sunroof exploded while driving this morning shattering all over me and almost causing a life threatening crash.
While driving on a local highway recently, my forearm brushed the automatic shift knob while reaching to place my phone on the wireless charging pad. The transmission shifted into neutral, resulting in an unexpected loss of speed. It took me a few seconds to realize what had happened - I shifted ba...
The material (most likely) plastic used as a trim on the vehicle is melted or started to melt. This is the trim (b-pilar) between the driver's door and the rear passenger's door. We believe the quality of the material used for the trim is defective and should be addressed by the manufacturer.

The fonts on the instrument panel are too small to read. Do not have this problem on current 2nd car or other cars driven.
Lexus is still not providing 2 key fobs on delivery. They are not listing the 2nd Key Program (23LJ01) as a campaign on their vehicle mobile software. The "digital key" is glitchy and not a safe and secure option - it seems to be a way for Lexus to periodically generate more profit at the expense of...

I have driven hybrids for the last 5 years and never had this issue before. It is very strange that the car vibrates when coming to a stop and it is on going. It happens an...
