2018 LEXUS NX- Louisville, KY
I was driving on 64 and at a sudden my 2018 NX 300 stopped accelerating and engine was stalled. I was lucky that the highway was not busy, so I was able to park it on the shoulder of HWY and later towed it to my home. The car was not drivable anymore as engine was keep shutting down with the warning and engine lights. The code on the screen was P0087 - Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low. It seems that the fuel pump mall function. I research online and noticed, that others also reported the same issue related to Fuel pump failure on this model. Also, on further research, I found that Lexus recalled this model along with other models for the same issue. But when I check my VIN then it shows that my VIN has no recall related to Fuel Pump mall function. Not sure why my VIN is not included in the recall even though this model and year has a recall for this issue.

2010 LEXUS ES- Long Beach, CA
I have been driving with a shiny sticky dashboard that reflects light directly into my eyes when I'm driving creating a dangerous driving condition. I was just made aware that there was a Lexus Customer Support Program ZLZ to replace this defective dashboard but I never received a recall notice. I have asked Lexus corporate and the dealership to help me resolve this dangerous defect but they said the program has expired and is no longer willing to help. I am a senior citizen and cannot afford to pay for this out of pocket or buy a new car. This defect is a widely known issue and Lexus has acknowledged that this is causing a dangerous condition while driving. I cannot understand why they would not resolve this matter regardless the program expired or not especially if owners did not received the notice. Please help. Lexus is unwilling to resolve this matter even though they know this defect is causing dangerous driving conditions which may lead to accidents.

2012 LEXUS CT- Chicago, IL
I am writing to bring to your attention a serious safety issue that occurred with my vehicle. While driving on the expressway, the engine oil burned and the oil warning light illuminated on the dashboard, posing a significant risk to my safety and the safety of others on the road. Specifically, the engine oil system malfunctioned, causing a sudden and complete loss of engine lubrication. This incident can be verified through an inspection of the vehicle, which is available upon request. My safety and the safety of other motorists were severely compromised due to this malfunction. The sudden failure of the engine oil system could have resulted in a catastrophic engine failure, potentially leading to a loss of control of the vehicle at high speeds. Fortunately, I was able to safely pull over to the side of the road, but the situation could have been much worse. Upon experiencing the issue, I had the vehicle towed to Service Center where the problem was reproduced and confirmed by a certified mechanic. They conducted a thorough inspection and confirmed that the engine oil had indeed burned, leading to the illumination of the oil warning light. The inspection report from the service center is available for review. Additionally, I reported the incident to the vehicle manufacturer and my insurance company. Both entities have documented the issue, and I am awaiting further instructions on how to proceed. There has been no involvement from law enforcement as there was no accident or injury resulting from the incident. Prior to the failure, I did not notice any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms indicating a problem with the engine oil system. The warning light appeared suddenly while I was driving on the expressway, giving me no advance notice of the impending malfunction. Given the severity of this issue, I urge you to investigate this matter thoroughly to prevent any future occurrences. The safety of driver and passengers is of utmost importance.

2024 LEXUS GX!- Sugar Land, TX
The vehicle has been on hold at the port since 5/17/2024 with no update either from Lexus or my dealership about what is the reason for the hold. I’ve been hearing from different sources that it may be a windshield issue or a sunroof issue or even a possible engine issue. I have tried calling both the dealership and Lexus Brand Engagement but both deny knowing any additional information and ask that I reach out to the other line.
