The dashboard screen went completely black. All gauges and meters are digital, so there was no information supplied (no gas gauge, no speedometer, etc). The heads up display that normally displays speed also was no longer functioning. When I brought the car to the dealer, the intake person said “another one!” This implies to me that this is a recurring issue.

The driver's side door on my 2024 Lexus NX 350h has completely seized and will not open from either the inside or the outside. The vehicle is equipped with the electronic e-Latch system. Even the emergency mechanical override fails to release the latch. This is a severe, life-threatening safety hazard. In the event of an accident, fire or emergency, I would be trapped inside the vehicle with no way to exit from the driver's seat. An authorized dealership (Lexus of Tustin) has kept the vehicle for over two weeks without resolving the issue. They failed to diagnose the electronic latch failure properly and instead presented a retail estimate of $781.88 just to "attempt" a repair, while officially advising in writing to take this 2024 vehicle to a third-party bodyshop because their technicians cannot properly access the component. The manufacturer and the dealership are refusing to treat a critical structural latch failure as a safety defect, leaving a 2024 vehicle grounded and completely unsafe to operate. This is a known, recurring problem across the e-Latch platform that heavily impacts vehicle safety.

The contact owns a 2024 Lexus NX 450H. The contact stated that while driving 5 MPH, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. The contact stated that the vehicle was uncontrollable. The brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended, and the vehicle crashed through the garage at the residence. The vehicle then crashed through the garage door, drove across the backyard, and into the neighbor's residence before stopping. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while the contact was attempting to park the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. A Police report was filed. The contact sustained minor bruises. Medical attention was sought. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

DOOR LOCK SYSTEM FAILURE - LOCKOUT AND ENTRAPMENT HAZARD. In late xxx, during a single sub-zero weather event in the [XXX] area, the door lock system on this 2024 Lexus NX 450h+ failed on two separate occasions within the same week. On both occasions the vehicle could not be unlocked or entered by any means available to the owner (smart key fob, digital key, remote unlock) and we were locked out in sub-zero temperatures. Lexus Roadside Assistance was dispatched both times and each time took more than three hours to reach us, for more than six hours total stranded outdoors in sub-zero conditions. When the Roadside Assistance technician gained access, he confirmed the defect also prevents the doors from being unlocked from the INSIDE. Had occupants been in the vehicle when the failure occurred, they would have been trapped with no means of egress (fire, submersion, post-collision, medical emergency, hypothermia/heat stroke risk). The vehicle was stationary and no crash, fire or injury occurred. Prior to the lockouts, the remote start and digital key had stopped working. The lock failure was reported to the Lexus Brand Engagement Center on XXX and the vehicle was serviced at the selling Lexus dealer on XXX, where remote start/digital key failure and a defective battery were logged; the lock defect was not resolved. The vehicle was returned to the dealer on XXX and the dealer provided a repair estimate rather than performing the repair under warranty. The vehicle is under three y

After sitting all night -- Started the car which started normally. But the instrument gauge cluster remained totally black except for the warning symbols in test cycle. The infotainment screen started properly. But the gauge cluster remained black. No speedometer, gas gauge, tire pressure etc. Just black. Tried multiple times, turned on and off, killed the electronics by holding the volume button, got out and opened the hood then opened the fuse box and found nothing wrong (pressed and wiggled the fuses) no loose fuses. opened the door and got back in. Car and all gauges started but the center gauge cluster took longer than normal to boot. That was in mid June 2026 2 months ago and has not reoccurred. In searching for solution discovered that the opening and closing and reentering the car is a workaround (sometimes) so I think it was the fix.

Driver gauge instrument screen does not illuminate upon starting vehicle and at times when driving. No MPH or other gauges display. This defect has occurred several times and is intermittent.

The backup camera and infotainment screen is black, the backup camera and all controls on the infotainment screen was not usable because the screen was black. This is dangerous because no rear view camera.

On 2026-07-05, my car started except the digital instrument panel was blank/black. This meant the digital gas and battery gauges weren't visible, in addition to the speedometer, etc. I tried restarting the car to see if it was a fluke but it did not come back. On 2026-07-06, the car worked fine / as expected, but after a google search, it seems like this happens to other owners as well in the past with no clear reason why. Wanted to report in case it becomes a larger thing.

I started my vehicle and thr complete infotainment screen was black, no display, no backup camera, nothing but a black screen. The volume button still worked and you could touch the screen and her things change but you could not see anything because the screen was black. It is like turning the brightness completely off a touchscreen, it works but you can't see anything. There are current recalls for this for other models but they say mine is not included. But I had the exact same problem with mine. It did not work until I turned my car off, returned and restarted my car, after that it worked normally. My can needs to be included in the recall.

While driving on the highway, something (likely a small rock) from oncoming traffic flew into the windshield. Upon contact, the windshield cracked and shattered in a manner I have not seen a windshield break before, immediately spraying glass shards across the interior of the vehicle (to include dashboard, seats, and floors) and the driver. From the outside of the windshield, the area of damage is soft to the touch such that it is likely applying any pressure would collapse that area and/or enable you to punch straight through to the other side, so for safety concerns it is undrivable until the glass is replaced. I am concerned the glass could have been defective in some way, as I don't believe this is a typical response to common road hazards like small rocks/other projectiles. The windshield was the original factory installed windshield. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer but the incident has been reported and owner is awaiting contact from the manufacturer regarding inspection. It can be available for inspection until the glass is replaced, but owner will have glass replaced as soon as possible. Additionally, because it is not drivable, it would require inspection at residence or towing. The incident was reported to insurance. There have never been any previous warning lamps/other indicators that the glass was defective.

The contact owns a 2024 Lexus NX 350. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 40 MPH, the instrument cluster went blank. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but no fault was found. The failure was self-corrected. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

Possible malfunction involves vehicle speed control and braking during a low-speed parking maneuver in my 2024 Lexus NX350h. While slowly pulling into a parking space, I was actively applying the brake and creeping forward. While my foot was on the brake, the vehicle suddenly surged/accelerated forward instead of continuing to decelerate. The vehicle ran over a sign and jumped a curb before I could stop it. The vehicle is available for inspection and is currently with the Lexus dealer. My safety and the safety of others were put at serious risk because this occurred unexpectedly while parking. If a pedestrian, fixed structure, or another vehicle had been in front of me, this could have caused severe injury or worse. Thankfully, I was not physically injured, but this was a traumatic event, and I was terrified. The problem has not been reproduced by me after the incident. At the time of this report, it has not yet been confirmed by the dealer or an independent repair facility. I have requested a full diagnostic inspection and review of all available stored data before any codes are cleared. The vehicle has been delivered to the Lexus dealer for inspection. The incident was also immediately reported to my insurance company. I do not know if Lexus manufacturer representatives or other parties will inspect it. I did not observe any warning lamps, messages, or unusual symptoms before the event, and this had never happened before.

While driving, which occurred 20 minutes after i started the car, the driver’s door gets unlocked automatically and i started hearing car warning with ⚠️ appearing on my dashboard. I also heard wind noise from the highway. With the electric, i could not simply open and close the door while driving, but had to pull the door with my left hand for the next 40 minutes while driving until i hit destination. When i pulled door towards close position, wind noise and warning sound went away, but comes back as soon as i release the door. Happened numerous times during summer, spring and winter.

The incident happened on August 27, 2025, at about 8:30 in the morning when I was trying to park the car in a parking lot. As I came to the parking space to park the car with my foot on the brake pedal, the car accelerated all of a sudden after it had stopped before I could shift the gear lever to “Park”. The car went over the curb. I reversed and tried to park the car again in the same spot. The car accelerated again and went over the curb, and this time ended up going all the way to the two-way traffic road located ahead of the curb. Fortunately, there was no traffic on the road at that time and no pedestrian on the sidewalk, and no one got hurt. The car stopped in the middle of the road. I drove back to the parking lot and tried to park the car again in the same spot. This time the car stopped without any incident. The dashboard said, “System Malfunction” and said to take the car to the dealership. I drove to the Lexus dealership without any incident. There was significant damage in the front and both sides of the car. I told Lexus what had happened. A case manager was assigned. An inspector was sent to inspect the car. After the inspection, he sent me a report. The report was technical in nature and had graphs and data points without any explanation. I could not understand the report. He told me that the report was sent to Toyota and Toyota would get back to me after they had analyzed the data downloaded by him. Toyota sent me the report, and the report said that my foot
