We were driving at freeway speed when we heard a loud bang above our heads. The interior sunroof cover was closed at the time. I slid it partway open and saw that the glass of the sunroof had shattered, so I closed the cover to keep glass from falling in the car. Had it been open at the time of break, the glass would have rained down on the driver and passenger. I have not yet taken it to a dealer or repair shop.

- Summary: Since I am just finding out how to file a complaint I figured I would. I still have this car with me. The incident happened about 2 years ago. I was driving down the highway going to Castle Rock Colorado. When all of a sudden my car is thrown into neutral and my rpms go to 6,000. I had no way to accelerate and the car wasn't in gear to help decelerate . Since I was going down the highway at a high rate of speed trucks and cars were all around me.. I immediately turned on my four ways and pulled the car over to the side of the highway. As there was nothing wrong with the motor and it seemed like it was just with the transmission I. Decided to continue but as I continued when I got to 4 gear it would once again throw it out of gear and I couldn't accelerate and I had to pull over. At this point I knew something was wrong. I immediately got the car to a safe area and got it home and the next day got the car to the mechanic. The mechanics said that I needed a new transmission 4 gear is just missing. When the mechanic was putting back together. The very expensive $7,345.00 transmission. He got the parts directly from Lexus and when he went to test, drive the car with the same but new components the transmission immediately failed again, not allowing him to shift in the 4 gear and stalling the car putting him in danger on a busy road. When he got back to his shop he called back to Lexus to verify that the parts that he was given were correct. They verified that the new parts he was given are the old design and that he needed upgraded newer parts that lexus has designed and should have never gotten the other ones . At this point he got the proper parts again and for a second time put the upgrade parts in and it worked . By Lexus not giving the mechanic, the proper upgraded parts. Not only did they put me in danger with the part breaking the first time on the highway they put the mechanic in danger by not giving him the upgraded parts the first time ... thank you

Lexus Nx200t 2015
- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-25
- Date Complaint: 2023-10-03
- VIN: JTJBARBZ2F2
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: I purchased this vehicle in 2015 - it has been dealer serviced and has never been in an accident. At just under 90,000 miles on the odometer, a major fluid leak started. It turns out that the rear main (crankshaft) seal had failed, causing a leak of transmission oil. No warning lamps or messages appeared. This failure resulted in an extraordinarily expensive repair, over $2,500.00 at the dealer, Lexus of Greenwood Village (Colorado). It was not covered on warranty. This is a major safety issue - had I not noticed the leak, which occurred without warning, the engine could have seized on a highway, leading to a crash. This failed seal should be designed to last far longer than 90,000 miles. Premature failure of this kind is highly likely secondary to a defect in design or materials. I have complained to Lexus, which is unwilling to take any responsibility for this. Please investigate as to whether a recall is warranted, and whether the manufacturer should be responsible for the repair of this obvious defect. Thanks.

- Summary: WATER PUMP LEAKING COOLANT: This pump which pushes coolant for engine's cooling system is leaking in several Lexus vehicles. If not replaced, engine will not be operating efficiently and could result in catastrophic engine damage. My vehicle although out of warranty has not even reached 40,000 miles. Dealer provided estimate of $1,134.81 + tax. Dealer warned that if not replaced it could result in catastrophic engine damage that has costed people between $7,000-$21,000. On further research on Internet, I found that coolant water pump has failed in Lexus for several customers, for multiple models of Lexus, for several years, at low mileages. Despite this Lexus has never issued a recall of defective coolant water pump. I would request NHTSA to please investigate this serios issue. Thank You !!

- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-01
- Date Complaint: 2023-07-01
- VIN: JTJYWRBZ7G2
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: While driving down the Interstate 75 at 70 mph the car completely lost engine power and the whole dashboard lit up. It would not respond to acceleration. I had to pull the car over to the side of the road. I re-started the car and it started back up and worked normally. The following day while on I-75 the car experienced reduced power this time. The car would not accelerate above 20 mph . We got off at the next exit. We spent about 10 minutes searching for the closest Lexus dealer and then when we went to start the car again it ran normally. This has subsequently happened a 3rd time where the car would not respond to the accelerator and I had to pull over to the shoulder and re-start the car. Unfortunately there are no error codes showing when we took it to the dealership on both occasions so they are unable to diagnose the issue.

Spacious but still sporty. You'll love your Lexus NX!

Firstly, let me say that the NX200 is a great choice for many drivers, especially those who prefer a smaller and lighter car like the RX300. As a long-time Lexus fan, I was eagerly anticipating the NX as a solution to my frustrations with the brand's recent design choices. While the NX is fun to drive, handles well, and accelerates nicely, there are two deal-breakers for me. Firstly, the cabin cargo area is too small and not tall enough for my large dog. Secondly, the front seats curve forward at the top in a way that I'm not fond of. It's disappointing that smaller SUVs like the BMW X1 offer better cabin height, and the Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC, and Subaru Forester offer more viable choices for me and my dog. However, I understand that everyone's needs are different, and your mileage may vary.

Overall, I think it's a great vehicle. It has a nice ride and performs well in snow. While it may be a little slow off the mark and the brakes can be a tad grabby, I still recommend it.

The Lexus NX 200t F Sport is a top-quality and safe SUV that will provide you with years of reliable driving. Thanks to Lexus' high standards of construction, you can drive these vehicles for up to 15 years without needing any repairs. Additionally, Lexus SUVs hold their value better than other models on the market. If you're able to find a new or used Lexus AWD 200t NX Sport, it's definitely worth considering!

I have had many cars over the years and this one is, by far, the best. The interior leather quality is very nice and the seat setting options, along with lumbar support options, ensure a comfortable ride. Lexus has a good selection of exterior and interior color options. I had chosen Atomic Silver for the exterior and the Black/Red combination for the interior, both of which I have received many compliments.
Are you having problems with your Lexus Nx200t?

I really like this Lexus, but there is one thing that bothers me - the uncomfortable seats. I was talking to a friend who had the same experience during her test drive. Has anyone else noticed this?

I brought my GS F for service and they gave me this as a courtesy car to use for the day. Since I had a few places to go, I ended up putting a good amount of miles on it. In my opinion, the car did not meet my expectations as I prefer driving my wife's Highlander Limited. However, the car has a stylish exterior and a decent interior. It would be a good choice for those who prioritize style over spirited driving. Additionally, it would be a great car to pull up to the antique flea market in. Thank you for the opportunity to use this car for the day!

This car is a good car, but it’s not for everyone. Turns out, it’s not for me. My first luxury car purchase, got it as a CPO and got a hell of a deal. The excitement wore off really quickly though and I’m trying to see if I can trade it in before I have to pay for registration. Pros: great value for your money, lots of features, Lexus reliability, super comfy seats (F-Sport), eye-catching front end styling. Cons: fit and finish (lots of rattles), ugly rear styling, AWD (total joke, my Tiguan never had torque steer), powerful but unrefined sound system, drawn out turbo lag. The tech is manageable but still frustrating to use. Again, it’s a good vehicle and it gets you from point A to point B comfortably. However, if you want something that is engaging to drive, this isn’t it. Even the F-Sport doesn’t help the experience.

The NX200t is a great vehicle, but it may not provide the best value for your money. While it may not be as luxurious as the RX, it still has a lot to offer. Some drawbacks include a few exposed bolts in the lower console, cheap looking trim, and a complex navigation system. The cargo space is decent, but not exceptional. If you're looking for a similar option, consider a loaded out RAV4, as they share the same platform. Alternatively, you could opt for a two-year-old RX350. I personally traded mine in after 16 months for a GS350, but keep in mind that I took a loss. The GS350 feels like a luxury car and may be worth considering.

After being told by Lexus that bushings will wear out, I was surprised to hear that it could happen as early as 40k miles. I've owned an older RX model and never had this issue before. The cost to replace the knuckle bushings is $2300, which seems quite steep. I was disappointed with the response I received from Corporate Lexus. It seems like cheap rubber materials are being used on these cars. I'm not sure if I'll be buying any new Lexus cars in the future.
