Common 2017 Lexus Nx200t problems

Common Problems with the Lexus NX200T 2017:

  • Lack of CarPlay: The 2017 Lexus NX200T does not come with Apple CarPlay, which may be a disappointment for some potential buyers. This feature was not available in the NX until the 2018 model year, which may be a consideration for those looking for this specific functionality.
  • Infotainment System Glitches: Some owners of the 2017 Lexus NX200T have reported issues with the infotainment system freezing or not responding. This can be a significant inconvenience, particularly during long drives or when using the system for navigation.
  • Transmission Concerns: There have been reports of jerky or hesitant transmission shifting in certain years of the Lexus NX, including the 2017 model. This can affect the overall driving experience and may require costly repairs.
  • Suspension Issues: Some models of the Lexus NX, including the 2017 model, have experienced suspension issues that can lead to diminished ride quality and require costly tuning or repairs. This can be a significant concern for those looking for a smooth and comfortable ride.
  • Winter Vibration: Some owners of the 2017 Lexus NX200T have reported inconsistent vibrations during winter driving, which can be felt through the steering wheel, car seat, and even in the back passenger seat. This issue may be related to tire or suspension issues, and it is unclear how widespread it is among 2017 models.
  • Wind Noise: There have been reports of significant wind noise while driving the 2017 Lexus NX200T, particularly on the highway. This can be a significant inconvenience and may affect the overall driving experience.
  • Interior Quality: Some owners of the 2017 Lexus NX200T have reported that the interior quality does not meet their expectations for a luxury vehicle. While the exterior of the car may "scream Lexus luxury," the interior has been described as having a "Toyota economy" feel, particularly in base models.
  • Transmission Hiccups: Some owners of the 2017 Lexus NX200T have reported transmission hiccups, coughs, and hesitations, which can make for a difficult and frustrating driving experience. This issue may be related to a particular bad transmission or a wider problem with the NX's transmission design.
  • Noise from the 4 Cylinder Turbo Engine: Some owners of the 2017 Lexus NX200T have reported that the 4 cylinder turbo engine is noisy, particularly when going uphill or in sport mode. This can be a concern for those looking for a quiet and smooth driving experience.

It is important to note that these issues may not affect all 2017 Lexus NX200T models, and some may not experience any of these problems. However, these are common complaints that have been reported by owners of this model year. It is always recommended to thoroughly research any vehicle before making a purchase and to consider these potential issues when evaluating a 2017 Lexus NX200T.

IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THIS SEAT POSITION PROMOTES POOR POSTURE AND FATIGUE WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 30 MINUTES. THE CANADIAN MODELS OF SAME CAR BUT HAVE ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTS, FOR THE US OWNERS THIS IS $700 PER HEAD REST BUT NOT AVAILABLE TO US RESIDENTS.

Negative 2017 Lexus Nx200t car reviews

  1. Jay Trantow 2025-01-03

    As a proud owner of my first Lexus, I was determined to find an SUV that would meet my expectations. After researching different brands, I confidently chose the NX200T. While there are some aspects of the car that I find bothersome, there are also many features that I appreciate. The car can be a bit noisy on the road, but the base stereo sounds great and the headlights are top-notch. The seats are comfortable and the heating and cooling functions work perfectly. When in sport mode, the car has a nice kick to it. However, I do believe that there is room for improvement in certain areas. For example, the car has an excessive amount of hard plastic, which is not acceptable for a car in this price range. Additionally, the switches for the windows are cheap and the carpet could be of better quality. Despite these issues, I remain confident in my decision to choose the NX200T. I hope that Lexus will take my feedback into consideration and continue to improve their products.

  2. Emile Hagenes 2024-10-24

    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?

  3. Marcelino Weissnat 2024-10-14

    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!

  4. Dereck Dicki 2024-10-14

    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.

  5. Porter Crooks 2024-08-18

    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.

Positive 2017 Lexus Nx200t car reviews

  1. Ethan Reilly 2024-11-22

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

  2. Lorenzo Runte 2024-10-27

    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.

  3. Davion Homenick 2024-10-17

    Hi there! I was in the market for a new SUV for my family and I'm so happy I found the Lexus NX200t. As a long-time Toyota fan, I was looking for something a bit more premium and this vehicle definitely delivers. It's safe, reliable, and so much fun to drive! Plus, it has all the bells and whistles my family needs. I haven't had any issues with it yet and I'm confident that I made the right choice. If you're looking for a safe, reliable, responsive, and fuel-efficient vehicle, I highly recommend the Lexus NX200t.

  4. Derek Ratke 2024-09-29

    The only issue is the technology. However, I understand your point about wanting to see Apple Play or something similar available. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

  5. Julian O'Keefe 2024-08-29

    I'm so glad to hear that you love your car for your daily commute!
