2023 LEXUS RX Complaints

On Thursday, May 25, 2023, I took delivery of my new 2023 Lexus RX 500h at Nalley Lexus in Roswell, Georgia. On Saturday, June 3, 2023, I noticed that the interior dashboard trim has become separated. I could (can) see the plastic clips and some exposed wiring. My initial thought was to not touch it because it could possibly cause an electrical shock and to take the vehicle back to the dealership. Instead, I decided to snap the cover back in place. After driving a few miles in the same day, the cover came loose again. When I got home, I Googled my issue and learned that others were having the same problem. On the next business day, I contacted my service rep at Nalley Lexus, made her aware of the issue but she stated they weren't aware of the issue. I decided to wait until my 5k service to bring it up again. On Saturday, September 9, 2023, I took the vehicle to Hennessy Lexus of Atlanta for my 5k mile service. I made them aware of the issue, they allegedly ordered and replaced the part, but the same issue revealed itself days later. I contacted my service advisor at Hennessy Lexus of Atlanta to make them aware that the cover is still sagging/loose exposing wiring but they had no solution.

I recently purchased this vehicle new from Spokane Lexus. Come to find out there are no provisions for a tow hook front or rear. In the owners manual it clearly shows that there is a cover plate in the front grille that is removed to accomodate the eyebolt that is stored in the tool kit next to the spare tire. My vehicle does not have either of these, even though there is a molded place, next to the spare tire, to accomodate the eyebolt. So there no provisions for a tow truck to winch this vehicle onto a flat bed tow truck, if the vehicle does not move under it's own power. This vehicle was built in Canada for the US market. I have been told by the US Lexus Dealers that only vehicles built in Japan have the provision for the towing eye bolt. Previous Toyota & Lexus Vehicles have this provision. Why doesn't mine?????????

Driving down the highway at 65 miles per hour, the moonroof glass. Nothing hit or fell on the car.

On Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023, while driving on the highway, my sunroof exploded. It sounded like a gun shot. I drove it to the place I bought my Lexus, in March, called Sewell Lexus Dallas. They gave me a rental and said they would have their technicians look at it. They called me on Monday and said their technicians decide it wasn't a manufacture defect, but they couldn't tell me of any evidence to why or what might have caused it. Furthermore, they suggested I report it to my insurance, and it would cost $4000.00 to replace. This is dangerous, to have a sunroof explode on the highway, it could have caused an accident. Lexus is not taking any ownership, it is a Lexus problem because it is a manufacturer problem.

Sunroof Window cracked exploded while driving. There was nothing seen that hit it. Dealership and everybody found no sign of what caused it.

Purchased a brand new Lexus RX 350h on April 28, 2023. Within 2-3 weeks, the vehicle started issuing alerts that parts of the ADAS were malfunctioning, and therefore the vehicle was disabling the entire ADAS. This warning would come on while driving, and even after clearing the warning, it would pop back up within seconds. Took the new car to the dealer over 4 weeks ago to have this addressed, and they still can't figure out how to replace the faulty part and reprogram the vehicle. This is a brand new car with only about 1,000 miles on it. The dealer has indicated that Lexus Corporate is seeing this issue with a bunch of their new 2023 cars, and Lexus doesn't have the new parts nor the manpower in place to address this issue.
