Owner report 11730468 · 2026-04-10 (April 10, 2026)
Starting in drive with the brakes depressed, when trying to accelerate with the gas pedal, the vehicle will not activate the engine from electric mode(EV). The car will not accelerate even with the gas pedal fully depressed. It has happened four times so far. Safety issue because when I’m pulling out into traffic to make a left or right turn, the car will not accelerate and therefore can get hit by oncoming traffic, especially when I am trying to merge into a lane with oncoming traffic. The car crawls and will not accelerate. My car is a hybrid…

Owner report 11627417 · 2024-11-26 (November 26, 2024)
My Lexus TX 500h has an intermittent problem. It seems to have trouble shifting between 1st gear and second gear. Sometimes when I try to drive from a stop, the car will go a tiny bit and then feels like it switches into neutral instead of the next gear, leaving me stopped in the middle of traffic or an intersection. I have been stuck pulling out of my street onto a busy street with traffic bearing down on me. I have also started rolling backwards on a hill when my foot is on the gas and the car is in drive. It seems that the car puts itself in…

Severe safety issue! Pulled the vehicle into the driveway after a drive and put the vehicle in park and turned the car off. With key still in the vehicle, exited vehicle, closed driver door and went to open drivers-side rear passenger door where 2 year old baby was in car seat. Before being able to open the rear door, the car went dead and locked down all the doors (key is still inside the car). Could not get into car through any of the doors, including rear hatch. Tried the manual back up door handles (since this vehicle has electronic door …

Owner report 11589001 · 2024-05-15 (May 15, 2024)
The car gives out from a stopped position, when hitting the accelerator. As if the car stalls without turning off. It’s happened at least 3 times. Dealership is telling me nothing is wrong with the car.

Strong smell of gas coming from around the car and near rear end of car. Usually after a drive. The smell does not happen after every drive. I brought up the smell to my husband a number of times within the year…and finally took to JD Auto in Arizona in June but the gas smell could not be replicated and no source or defect could be visually seen. No recall for this has been reported by Lexus. dealership. No check engine light has been recorded. Worried that there is some internal issue that could cause huge problems. I do have children who hav…
