I allowed a software update to my vehicle about six weeks ago. Now, about 10 minutes after starting the car, a screen comes up, completely covering all vehicle information. The screen does not close except with repeated tapping of the X and the left bar. Closing the screen requires attention that would be better paid to road conditions and other drivers. I asked my Lexus dealer service department to get rid of the screen. They were unable to do so. They suggested contacting Lexus via the emergency button...

while parked. I did so but when I replied that I did not have an emergency, I was disconnected. If this screen came up when the vehicle is started, then it would not be a safety concern. But coming up 10 minutes after ignition, it is definitely a dangerous distraction. I live in a mountainous region where driving requires full attention. It is a 30 minute drive to where I can pull over and get rid of the screen. During this time I am distracted by the screen and have no access to vehicle information.

Fuel door does not open. Mis-aligned door does not open. Car has been back to the dealer twice for this problem. Both times we were told the entire assembly was replaced and both times the door was still visibly mis-aligned. See photos attached
Hello, I'm currently in Ontario, Canada, and I've been experiencing an issue with my car. Specifically, the driver's door refuses to open when the temperature drops below freezing. This problem is consistently occurring, making it quite inconvenient as I'm unable to access the driver's side. It appears that the sensor freezes in such conditions, preventing the door from opening externally. Its been 5 days the temperature is below freezing and my driver side door will not open from outside door handle. Fortunately,...

it does open from the inside. This situation becomes particularly hazardous during strong winds when I have to open the door from the passenger side, risking the door swinging open unexpectedly. This could potentially lead to fatal consequences if the door collides with a passing vehicle or motorcycle. This issue is recorded by multiple dealers, its reported on Lexus forums and i have escalated it to Lexus of London. Canada. And Lexus USA too.
The electrical system failed. It operates just about all the systems including items that are normally operated manually. My wife entered the car and pressed the start button and the car would not start. The car locked my wife inside with no manual method for opening the door. Fortunately, I was home at the time and was able to execute a manual release of the door using a key found inside the remote. Lexus sent a AAA service truck to jump start the engine. We believe this dangerous situation is related to our...

previous complaint #11495096 for VIN [[redacted]] on 11/28/2022 where the car locked us out on two reported occasions. At vehiclehistory.com I found a similar problem reported for the Lexus RX450h, another plug-in Hybrid. In that case an amp meter was used to trace the source of the electrical drain from the battery. A faulty amplifier was consuming more power than needed and draining the 12 volt battery to a completely discharged state. There is a problem with the auxiliary battery holding a charge. There were no warnings, messages or prior symptoms. The car is available for inspection on request. We are taking it to the dealer this morning.

I purchased a new Lexus NX 350 on Oct 15, 2022. On Aug 7, 2023, with 6300 miles, my tire and wheel flew off while I was exiting a 5 lane highway. The tire continued rolling and went through the windshield of another vehicle. I was able to get the car off to the side of the exit ramp while riding on the rotor. The dealer claimed no responsibility even though the car had been in for its initial 5K service that included a tire rotation 1300 miles earlier. I asked Lexus Corporate to inspect the vehicle to protect...

others from a potential serious hazard. Lexus said the lug bolts were shorter in style and incompatible with the standard lug bolts. In addition the jack was missing.
