The vehicle's lower front fascia exhibits a design flaw, creating an unsafe gap that permits road debris to impact the condenser, leading to air conditioning system damage. This compromise in the A/C system's functionality results in an inability to adequately cool the vehicle's interior, thereby creating potentially unsafe operating conditions, particularly in high-temperature environments. It has been observed that dealerships are declining warranty coverage for these repairs, and the manufacturer has not provided any countermeasures to address this inherent design deficiency.

I have the exact same issue as this person https://www.clublexus.com/forums/tx-models-2024-present/1025518-new-problems-with-3rd-row-seats.html When I fold the 3rd row seat it leaves a bump under a loose cloth cover. If I remove the cover I see that a plastic attachment linking the spare wheel well to both sides of the trunk is bent. Lexus says that to replace it I need to replace the whole unit and it's also not covered by warrantee.

The plastic casing holding the driver seat cushion broke/detached itself after a couple of months of driving and even if put back in place it'll continue sliding and moving. It can interfere with my left foot while driving making it a hazard. Lexus reviewed the issue and said it was not covered by warranty.

The AC stopped working and now they are charging me to replace the condenser which is located right in the front behind the grill. They said it was damaged from a rock that hit it. There are thousands of these vehicles that have this poor design where all these condensers are getting hit and having consumers pay for this damage because it is not under warranty. These should be recalled or repaired for free as it is obvious there should be some kind of screen to prevent this as the grill gives no protection.

Driving on the highway, heard a very loud pop, followed by a crackling noise above us. Investigated and found the sunroof had spontaneously shattered. On the drive home, the sunroof glass collapsed into the car. The initial incident was very disruptive, and we were lucky that the sun shade was closed, which blocked glass fragments from falling on us. There are no signs of impact from any objects or rocks. There were no cars driving in front of us, and we did not drive beneath an overpass. There were no dents on the car. Photos of the glass after shattering but before collapse dont show a clear sign of an impact point. My best guess is a manufacturing flaw exacerbated by temperature changes. It was a very sunny day, and we had the shade open with cold AC blowing for 30+ minutes. The sun became a distraction, so we closed the shade. I think the heat then built up quickly between the shade and the glass, and caused the glass to shatter.

I was driving on a highway around 65mph, about 1:30PM on May 11, 2025. The temperature outside was about 70 degree F. I heard a very loud noise like a big firecracker exploding. Then I heard the sound of air coming from the sun roof. I opened the sun roof door and found the sun roof was shattered and had a big hole more than a foot in diameter. If I didn't close the sun roof door, I could had been injured by the exploding tempered glasses from the sun roof and lose control of my SUV. I drove to the Lexus dealership and leave my car there overnight since the service department was closed on Sunday. The Lexus service advisor will call me in the morning. I googled the topic about "Lexus sun roof exploding while driving" and found many Lexus car owners had the same problem as mine. Toyota Motors already knew about this issue since 2012 and they refused to fix the issue free of charge for Lexus car owners since they said that the car warranty doesn't covered the sun roof. I believe Toyota Motors is a irresponsible car company. If this issue is not fixed, I believe some Lexus owners might get hurt when their cars' sun roof explode while driving. Toyota Motors should fix the problem free of charge for their customers because this is a defective tempered glass sun roof.

Starting from a stop in a residential neighborhood, stepped on the gas to go and turn left and the vehicle hesitated and lacked power. It almost felt like it was trying to start from a stop in too high of a gear, but this is a 6 speed automatic vehicle. After panicking a little, backing off the accelerator pedal and stepping on it again, power came back so I could complete the turn. If there were other cars coming straight through the intersection, I would have been hit. Informed my local dealer about it and that the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid has a service bulletin (T-SB-0017-24) to address this very issue I encountered and that the Lexus TX500h has a similar drivetrain set up, but was told Lexus has no such service bulletin to address this issue. There were no warning lamps or indications from the vehicle that anything was wrong and it has only happened once so far, a few days ago, since I purchased the vehicle new at the beginning of December 2024.
