Owner report 11708771 · 2026-01-05 (January 5, 2026)
We leased the Lexus at the end of May 2025. My husband I drove the car. It was nice. My husband and I are in our early [XXX] . Meaning we are very capable of driving. We both ride motorcycles, snowmobiles, dirt bikes,4 wheeling and we also own 1957 truck, 2024 corvette, and we even both drove our own corvettes at the spring mountain in Nevada. That being said this car is a nightmare. I don’t need a car to take over my driving, braking, and anything else. Whether it’s driving 75-80mph and you are on a major interstate and it decides that…

Owner report 11721486 · 2026-03-02 (March 2, 2026)
While stopped in traffic with my foot firmly on the brake pedal, my vehicle began accelerating forward unexpectedly. The vehicle seemed "possessed". It was as if the gas pedal was fully on the ground while my foot was still on the brake, so the car was lurching and seemed to be fighting itself. The vehicle continued moving forward and would not stop despite sustained and hard brake pressure. I was rapidly closing distance on the vehicle in front of me and narrowly avoided a collision by inches. The vehicle only stopped after I shifted it into p…

Owner report 11731115 · 2026-04-14 (April 14, 2026)
The contact owns a 2025 Lexus TX350. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and felt spongy, and the vehicle failed to respond as intended, causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the brakes were in good working condition; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while attempting to raise the folded passenger's side third row seat to the upright position, the back of the seat became stuck to an unknown part behind th…

Owner report 11747786 · 2026-07-01 (July 1, 2026)
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 fuel, including the risk of running out of fuel on…

Owner report 11752837 · 2026-07-25 (July 25, 2026)
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 i…

Owner report 11679221 · 2025-08-07 (August 7, 2025)
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.
