Daytime view of a Lexus TX next to a lemon stand
Lexus may be known for its reliability, but not every model the manufacturer builds lives up to their sterling reputation. Case in point? The Lexus TX, an SUV that was all-new in 2024 and quickly let down its earliest buyers with unacceptable quality-control problems and major reliability issues. That’s not to mention the latest TX recall that was recently announced, which forced a stop-sale as Lexus and parent company Toyota worked to get a fix to dealers.

The Most Common Lexus TX Problems
There’s an old adage among consumers about not buying a first-year example of an all-new car, and the Lexus TX is a perfect example of why this is still a valid point. Ever since it debuted, drivers have been bringing back their SUVs to dealers for support with everything from squeaking dashboards to water leaks.
The recent TX airbag recall has also been a thorn in the side of owners, which has been compounded by long wait times for repairs due to backordered parts. The sum result for early TX buyers has been, to put it mildly, a less-than-ideal ownership experience.
Below, a rundown of some of the most common Lexus TX issues people have been discussing on forums and fan boards:
- Airbag recall (more on this below)
- Windshield leaks
- Dashboard squeaks
- Sunroof issues
- Transmission problems
- Electronic malfunctions
- Other miscellaneous issues
Understanding the Lexus TX Recall
In addition to the above issues, owners have also been rattled by an airbag recall that has affected approximately 145,000 examples of 2024 Lexus TX SUVs and its mechanically similar cousin, the Toyota Grand Highlander. The crux of the issue is that, should one or both of the front windows be rolled down when an accident occurs, the front curtain airbags may not deploy.
Naturally, the severity of the consequences should this happen has led to serious frustrations among owners, especially with repairs being difficult to schedule in a timely manner. Owners were initially notified of the recall in August of 2024, but were not able to receive their remedy until November 2024 at the earliest. For owners whose TXs have been plagued with other issues as well, this has only further eroded their trust in their new SUV.
When Does a Lexus TX Qualify for a Lemon Law Claim?
Typically, a vehicle is eligible under Lemon Law rules if it fulfills the following criteria:
- It was acquired new within the last 24 months from an authorized dealership.
- You’ve made at least three attempts to repair the same issue.
- The vehicle has been out of service for at least 30 nonconsecutive days due to repairs.
