Owner report 11689659 · 2025-09-25 (September 25, 2025)

Owner report 11752819 · 2026-07-25 (July 25, 2026)
The back up camera would go black when reversing, creating a dangerous situation. It’s a known issue with the GX 460 model that when the radio gets corrupted and the infotainment screen goes black it will cause the back up camera to not function properly! I reached out to Lexus and they confirmed the issue is a bad logic (mother ) board that causes this and since it’s out of warranty they will not honor the repair or replacement of this highly dangerous situation. Your assistance is much appreciated!
