2024 Lexus Tx

Odometer Fraud: The contact owns a 2024 Lexus TX 350. The contact stated that a mileage discrepancy was discovered. The vehicle was a dealer sale. The contact discovered information indicating that the vehicle was a cloned vehicle. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 39,000; however, during a service appointment, it was discovered that the vehicle mileage was 41,800.

The contact owns a 2024 Lexus TX 500H. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle drove over glass in the roadway that struck the air conditioner condenser. Approximately two weeks later, the air conditioner failed to blow cool air. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was determined that the A/C condenser was damaged by the debris, causing a coolant leak. The dealer stated that the condenser needed to be replaced. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Action Number: DP26006 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 37,000.

I am reporting a severe, systemic vehicle performance discrepancy on my Lexus TX 500h (2.4L Turbo Hybrid powertrain). The vehicle is officially labeled with an EPA rating of 27 MPG combined. However, under normal, conservative driving conditions, the vehicle routinely achieves only 20 to 21 MPG—a consistent 20%+ shortfall from the manufacturer's certified window sticker metrics. This has drastically limited the vehicle's safe total driving range to under 300 miles per tank. The shortfall persists despite cautious driving in Eco Mode and after passing the engine break-in period. This issue matches a widespread pattern reported by numerous other owners in consumer forums, pointing to a potential defect in the vehicle’s fuel management software or hybrid battery management logic. I request that NHTSA log this tracking data to investigate whether the manufacturer misrepresented the vehicle's real-world operational capabilities or fuel-system integration.

I am filing this complaint regarding my 2024 Lexus TX. A road rock/debris entered through the vehicle’s factory front grille and struck/punctured the A/C condenser, causing the air conditioning system to stop functioning properly. The repair cost is approximately $2,500. The factory grille has large openings that leave the condenser vulnerable to direct impact from normal road debris. Lexus does not have a protective screen or guard that can be installed to prevent this type of damage. This design flaw has affected many other Lexus TX owners and I think they need to offer up more protective measures to avoid this from happening over and over again.

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 have also reported smelling the gas in the back seat.

On two occasions while driving my hood has become open due to windy conditions coming from the Makua side of the highway as I’m driving on the Queen Kaahumanu Highway Today was the second incident except that I was heading south The first time that happened I was driving north and it occurred probably about a few months ago, but I dismissed it I know for a fact that I did not open the engine compartment I will download my front camera files and see if I can find a record

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 vehicle. It almost feels as if the non electric engine doesn’t kick on when it is supposed to. The car will crawl for about 5-10 seconds before the engines engages and kicks on the acceleration. There are no warning lights or indication that anything is malfunctioning when this happens. I have not taken the vehicle in to the dealer yet.

I am a loyal Lexus owner since 1998 and have always recommended Lexus vehicles to my family and friends. In over 25 years of ownership, I have never experienced an issue like this. While driving under normal road conditions, my new 2024 RX 350’s AC condenser was punctured by small road debris, causing a refrigerant leak and loss of air conditioning. The condenser is located directly behind the front bumper, leaving it exposed to minor debris, which I believe is a design vulnerability. Damage at such low mileage suggests this may affect other vehicles of this model. Reduced AC performance could impact driver comfort and visibility in extreme heat, and operating the system with low refrigerant may cause further mechanical damage. I am submitting this complaint to request that NHTSA review this as a potential design defect affecting multiple vehicles. I have also contacted Lexus for warranty repair.
