The panoramic sunroof has a shade, which is not closing. This causes a lot of sunlight to enter the vehicle which might be harmful to your skin and causes headaches. The repair is very expensive and there is no other way around it. I seen many owners raising concerns about the same issue happening to them, on youtube, reddit, google and other websites. This is an issue on the same model from around 2017-2022. This must be repaired by lexus, and improved so it doesn’t keep happening.

The hatchback window shattered without any known cause. It appeared to have been hit from inside the vehicle but no one was in or around the vehicle when it occurred. It was 82 degrees outside and the vehicle was parked in the shade. Lexus told me there were no known issues regarding the window on other Lexus vehicles.

I was driving down the road with no one around and nothing falling or being kicked up in the air and I heard a huge crash, I had no idea what happened even after stopping at a gas station. Two days later after hearing the sound of ripping Velcro as I was driving, I opened the sunroof bc it was a nice day and glass shattered and fell all over me. I shut to sunroof cover and realized the entire time that my sunroof exploded without warning bc it was not tempered correctly. Lexus refuses to fix the manufacturer error.

The low fuel gauge does not come on until there is only 18 miles left. I brought my auto into the Lexus dealer in Fall 2022 because up until that point the low mileage gauge came on around 40 miles. I was told that the low fuel gauge changes from year to year. Really! It is dangerously to find a gas station with only 18 miles.…

The low fuel gauge does not come on until there is only 18 miles left. I brought my auto into the Lexus dealer in Fall 2022 because up until that point the low mileage gauge came on around 40 miles. I was told that the low fuel gauge changes from year to year. Really! It is dangerously to find a gas station with only 18 miles. This makes no sense to me. I have been driving the same model Lexus for 6 years and prior to this the low fuel gauge came on around 40 miles. The Lexus manual says that the gas tank is 19.2 gallons but when I fill up the tank when it says 18 miles are left, I only can add 15.5 gallons. I just heard a similar complaint with the new Highlanders.

My car trunk could not be closed right after the year I bought it in July, 2020. I went to the dealer Crown Lexus in Ontario, Southern California. They fixed it. Now it is happening again, I can not close the trunk by touching the button on the trunk or in the car to the left of the driver’s wheel. My husband and I went to see our younger son and grandson in Richmond near San Francisco via we stopped at the Marriott overnight in San Mateo for seeing a friend on the way during the Christmas time from 22nd-25th, our whole trip was scared and bothered by the fact that we couldn’t get the trunk closed whenever and whatever unless we tried 4, 7, even 10 times. We were truly scared and concerned that we would not be able to continue our trip. My husband had to stand at the hotel parking lot in cold weather for an hour until I was able to went down to the parking lot to try to finally close it. This incident happened throughout our entire trip going to SF and being back home in Apple Valley. We were afraid that we couldn’t finish our trip. What a terrible experience! I personally guess that it is a design error, but I am not sure. Please contact me, and please solve the problem.

I was driving on the 210 freeway in Southern California and my sunroof exploded. There was no sign of an object hitting it and I didn't see anything bounce off of it onto the road or onto other cars. My insurance company inspected it and sent me to a repair shop to have it replaced.
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, Corolla, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid, Lexus ES350, Lexus RX350, Lexus RX450H, 2021 Sienna Hybrid, Lexus ES250, 2020-2022 Camry, Camry Hybrid, and ES300H vehicles.
