Lexus customers are experiencing significant frustrations with extended delivery delays, recurring mechanical issues that dealerships cannot resolve, and poor communication from both dealers and corporate. Additional complaints include missing second key fobs on new vehicles, quality control issues with certified pre-owned vehicles, and unprofessional treatment from dealership staff.

I have a 2015 Lexus I S3 50 F sport AWD at the time had 49,000 miles. I noticed my car was getting about 10 to 12 miles per gallon. Made an appointment for the dealership and took my car to get its 50,000 miles scheduled maintenance along with a bumper to bumper mechanical look over to see what could be wrong with the gas mileage.
Nothing was done about the gas mileage. They claimed that they drove my vehicle two times which they did not. I found out they never even changed the oil that they charged me $280 to do. They also charged me for a rear and front differential service that I did not need as well as a transmission service that I did not need.
It took me a week to get a breakdown of the mechanical look over and the reason being the sales associate did not want to give I it to me…
Lexus Case Manager was of NO HELP Today! They do not stand by their product or name for being A Leader of High Performing Cars!! They make faulty transmissions on "2006 IS 250" Then want to use their warranty as excuse not to replace transmission up to 70K miles when they quit performing at 125K!!!
Shame On Toyota for knowingly creating a defective product and not doing your do diligence to replacing or repairing faulty transmissions after the FACT!!
We trade in our brand new car with the Lexus RX 350 2019 online with legit dealership (Lexus Kingston). With all the agreed terms and condition, we drove 250 Kms to reach there from our home with kids to this trusted and legit dealership to get our Ist car of Lexus from them.
We had truck, SUV and a car before that so we have plenty of experiences with the dealership and like other people we do have blind trust with such big names as they are not any private dealership who May fraud or play tricks with the customers. Though this is our first time online buying experience as we live so far from Kingston but still we got that trust that whatever the sales agent and the company are saying for their car is for sure true because they care for their customers.
When we reached there, we had…
Your recent commercials let me know that your target demographic is black . I’ll take my business some place else , most likely Cadillac . Good luck with targeting 13% of the population . Ive had discussions with other co workers and friends and they’re saying the same thing .
You’ve just alienated 65% or more of the country and we’ll take our business elsewhere .
I bought a new RX 350, 2021, chassis # JTJBZMCA4M2054340, I did the 1000 km check, however, I notice strange noise on the break strong system, metal touching, even while driving on low speed, which really annoying. I did ask the engineer who received the car for check up, but he told that this noice is normal !!! I had check with other Lexus owner, but they told me that they have never experienced such noise in the break system. Moreover, there is a kind of black powder accumulated on the the front tires rings , the car mileage is 1600 km only.
Please advise

I am hereby requesting that my prior customer experience response (sent on 12/4/21) be retracted immediately.
Note that after sending that response, I discovered an unaddressed issue related to the bumper damage that was to be corrected by Rohrich Lexus West Liberty Avenue Pittsburgh, PA, and also additional damage caused to my rear privacy cover that did not exist when I delivered my 2017 Lexus RX 350 (VIN#: 2TBZMCA2HC127212) to this dealership to have the rear damage corrected on 11/22/21. I have been dealing with Jake Dunk-Campbell, Pre-Owned Sales Manager.
On 12/4/21 when I went to picked it was a fiasco as I was instructed that the vehicle was ready for pick up yet nobody knew where my vehicle was and no sign of Jake either to even stop for a minute to acknowledge my…
My wife bought a brand new es350 2021 and when they searched the inventory it was described as all black interior so we went with it; almost two months later the car shows up and isn’t blacked out on the interior AND has a different VIN (which explains why it wasn’t the same as we were expecting).
So we tell them to replace headliner because this isn’t what we ordered and they flat out tell us no, we will just sell the car to someone else then; so out of frustration from waiting so long my wife proceeds to buy the car anyways and comes out of pocket to pay for changing out the headliner and associated parts $4,000 !
Which is already not right for something that wasn’t our fault. THEN, after the headliner gets done we go pick up the car and see scratches on the inside of the car and on the…
I PURCHASED A 2021 LC500 CONV AND THE SPEAKER HAS BLOWN...THE CAR HAS 3000 MILES ON IT,AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE AND CORPORATE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. SAID THE PARTS ARENT AVAILABE ,AND THEY HAD NO REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR FOR ME. I WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THEY FIND A...FIX FOR IT.
My Lexus Es 350 was involved in a accident head on and the airbag did not deploy can this be explained when my top reason for my purchase was the safety of the vehicle....
I tried to schedule routine service at Darcar Englewood Lexus in NJ. I needed a 9:00AM appointment for 11/29/21 (10 days from now) and requested a loaner. I tried to schedule on line, but the web site said no appointments were available. When I called the dealer directly, I was told that no loaners would be available until 12/2/21, and that if I wanted a morning service appointment, the earliest would be 9:45am .
I have been a Lexus customer for the last 20 years. When did it become so difficult to schedule a routine service appointment?
I have been thinking of a Tesla....Darcar Englewood Lexus just made that decision easier.
Thanks
My name is Kevin Spear. On 11/4/2021, I had my 2010 RX350 serviced by Nalley Lexus in Roswell, GA. The 100,000 mile service was delivered. Included in this service episode was new tires and a tire rotation. My wife and and I subsequently drove from Atlanta to Pittsburgh on 11/12. In driving this 650 mile interstate highway trip, I noticed an intermittent thumping in the front left wheel. Upon arrival in Pittsburgh, the noise became progressively worse. I took my car to Rohrich Lexus in Pittsburgh to determine the root cause.
The Rorich service personnel (truly exemplary Lexus brand ambassadors) shockingly informed me that it was a bona fide miracle that the left front wheel had not fallen off the car. The cause of the thumping was due to the fact that Nalley Lexus never bothered to torque…
My Lexus IS 300 Tires go out after 9k miles, the lexus app wasnt introduced to me when i purchased the car. LEXUS DEALERSHIP IS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE
Employees are rude and disorganized. No customer service whatsoever. I reserved a rental for my service appointment and when I arrived, no one knew about the appointment or what service I was going to get. The third person who approached me was a lady who also didn’t know why I was there. No smile, no hello.
Then when I asked about getting the loaner since service would be couple hours, she just flatly said we don’t have any more loaners. When I explained I reserved one, she said we don’t have any more. jim falk Lexus service in BH sucks and it’s the employees who work there that make the experience so awful.
Even initially when I called to make the appointment, the lady said if I came on a weekend, I couldn’t get a loaner. No apology for the wrong info. No customer service at all. They…
I scheduled the 5000 mile maintenance along with a NYS Inspection for my 2022 Lexus NX 300 on Monday November 08, 2021 at 7:30am with Lexus of Freeport (formerly Lexus of Rockville Centre). An email from the advisor, Mr. James Collado was sent confirming my scheduled appointment for the stated services.
Upon my check-in the advisor informed me the NYS inspection could not be provided since the internet sevice went off on Friday 11/05/2021. I am extremely disappointment with the dealership, had I known the inspection would not be provided, I would have rescheduled the services.
My time is valuable to me, I am self employed and I closed my dental practice for this time period. The dealership definitely should have informed me of this problem in advance, since they knew of it on Friday.…
went to dealer in WIndsor and told him to check and repair or replace. The dealer checked and said yes it’s not working and they cannot do anything and precisely for this I have been charged 200dollors. Unbelievable committing fleecing of unassuming customer being cheated.
I want mycomplaint to be raised to the highest management in canada
I had a new tire put on and service department did not put the key to the tire back and I end up with a flat tire spending hundreds of dollars on cabs because you can’t change it without the key To call to get a key foe them to tell me that I have to wait to order one .. I’m on the highway constantly and without that key it puts me in a really bad situation of having to sit on the highway stranded this is my third brand new Lexus I am really disappointed in everything in this last car
Company refuses to replace my cracked sticky dash because I missed the deadline. This is a known manufacturing defect that lexus sent out a campaign about years ago. As a company that is supposed to stand behind their brand Lexus does not have a problem leaving me with a dashboard that is literally falling apart in my lap every time i drive the car.

Absolutely horrible experience here. Called about a used vehicle. Sheena was great & said to call when we got close to the car lot. We did as instructed. She introduced us to the guy who would be taking care of us.We test drove the vehicle. We sat down with the guy to go over all of the details of the truck, the options & the car fax. Another salesman came into our office & asked for the keys. I assumed that he was putting them away. We finally get the numbers ran & just gave them permission to pull the credit history and someone comes in and says that the other salesman SOLD IT TO SOMEONE ELSE RIGHT out from under us !!! We were in the MIDDLE of BUYING it when the other customer even TEST DROVE it. HOW IS THIS OK??? How is this customer service???I asked them…

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Irina Vasiliga and I have been getting my vehicle serviced at the Lexus Dealership in Doylestown, PA since 2019. I have a Lexus RS 350. The first time I visited the Lexus Dealership was 2 years ago regarding an oil leak from the rear main seal and timing chain cover. Since that time, I had to bring my car back to the dealership every 5 months to address the same problem: oil leak. Each time, I was promised that everything was fixed when in reality I found myself back at the dealership with the same issue repeatedly. On September 24, 2021, I picked up my car for the 4th time from the dealership and received the same promises. The next day when I was driving to work I noticed white smoke from under the hood of my car that completely inhibited my ability to…
Hi,
This year I bought a Lexus ( FP 17 MUA ) from the dealership in Leicester, after 2 months my car doesn't start on the first try and started after I tried few times.
The next morning the story was repeated and I went to the Boston dealership (only Toyota) because it's close to where I live,they checked the car and said that the problem is with the battery but they don't have it in stock and they can check the stock for other dealership in the area and they told me that in Lincoln have a battery for my car.
Next day I was in Lincoln and I told them the whole story above and I insisted to check again if the problem is from the battery, after checking they said "we don't have a battery in stock but you have to pay before we order the battery,@280£ ".
I pay the battery and wanted for…
CarFax still insists that the title to our 2018 Lexus IS 300 is still “branded”, even though we received a “clean” title from the New York State DMV. I am unable to get anywhere with CarFax. Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation.
I noticed that ocean water sound by passenger side. Guess what I found. Water has trapped in the panel of passenger side front and back. I recorded the whole process of water drain. More than 30min of time and approximately gallon of water drained.
I will be more than happy send the V clip. Worried and angry about how water trapped inside and amount. Let me know what you can do to make me comfortable that no mold will be formed or damage the electrical component inside of door panel. com. Regards, Sung Soo Lee
This afternoon I walked into Lexus of Austin hoping to drive away in the new car of my dreams! After looking at my first option (UX300) I asked the salesman to see one more option. The (NX300). After deciding that I was not interested in the second option, I asked to see the first option (UX300). Mind you the keys were still in my hand. As I walked over to see the second option, an employee walked by with a smirk and said that they sold the car to someone else as I was on the way to make the final decision to buy that car.
After being told that I was not able to buy this vehicle due to the fact that another sales rep had sold it while I was seated inside of it, the floor manager approached us for the second time in 10 minutes and said that I had minutes to make my final decision. This…
I strive to be very professional when it comes to any type of Business such as Lexus.. I received a voicemail to call them back regarding a case open regarding myLexus vehicle i purchased from a third party at Audi Westmont.
spoke to a young Lady who was not very professional due to the fact that I did not understand the nature of the vm and needed clarification. She was not able to assist properly and this was a bad customer service experience.
I am a little shocked because this is our third Lexus vehicle. Have had to take recent Lexus truck to shop 3 times since purchase in May... not really satisfied.
I lease brand new ux 250h here. They delivered the car really fast and I also traded my car but the cash back from my car I did mot receive after even 10 days or longer.
At the first day, the car had problem with apple car play and I got back to show the sale man, he asked me to bring to Apple company to fix. He left me and I have to book service for my car alone. After 1 day I was late to work because I need to work for the new vehicle, they said the car is o, then i get the car back with the same issue. Then the mechanic guy realized the issue and asked to replace the head part. I asked about the return policy and the sale manager said it is not the cloths or t shirt so they do not have return policy.
THIS DEALERSHIP IS DONVALLEY LEXUS IN MARKHAM ONTARIO. THE WORST OF SERVICE AND RUDE…
Since 1990, I have purchased 5 new Lexus vehicles, the last 4 from Jim Faulk Lexus in Beverly Hills (1990 ES250, 1997 ES300, 2001 GS300, 2008 ES350, 2021 RX450hL). I estimate that I have paid over $225K to Lexus for the purchase of the vehicles alone. This doesn’t include what I have spent servicing the vehicles. I believe I qualify as a repeat and loyal customer.
I needed to upgrade from my ES 350 so that I could accommodate my grandchildren and our bikes. On July 14, 2021 I went online to the Lexus website to “build” my ideal vehicle. The 2021 RX 450hL car that I “built” online had a tow hitch receiver and a third row, amongst other items. I need a tow hitch receiver for my bicycle rack. I need a third row for my grandchildren.
On that same day I went to the dealership to talk about my…

Dear Mr. Templin,
I'm a long-time Lexus customer and have owned/leased many Lexus vehicles over the years. I have always been a proud, satisfied and dedicated customer; until now.
I'm very particular about the vehicles I buy. I'm a fanatic about exterior color, interior color and options. I live in Niagara Falls, New York, but I search for vehicles Nationwide and when I find what I want, I go for it. I have purchased Lexus' from Denver, Houston, Syracuse, Buffalo and Cleveland. Each purchase has always been from a Lexus Dealer. In December, 2019, I found a 2018 CPO ES 350 at Classic Lexus in Cleveland, Ohio. It was just what I was looking for and only had 5,000 miles on it. I made arrangements to trade-in my 2015 ES 350 and took the three and a half hour drive to pick up…
I have 2007 Lexus ES 350 sedan and it has only 72,000 mileage, and it is a garage kept vehicle, however its dashboard is cracking and melting. Lexus has responsibility to stand behind their product, they misuse the warranty issue and refrain to solve this product flaw.
I contacted Lexus, they told me that the decision is belong to the case manager and he called me back and told me that it is not under warranty anymore. My vehicle is in excellent condition, it's not normal to have cracks on the dashboard.
I have paid almost double just because it's Lexus and that shouldn't be the result. Thank you
My name is Dawn Mahoney and as an 11 year Lexus customer I'm contacting Lexus Corporate as a last resort due to an ongoing issue regarding Lexus and North Jersey Collision Auto body shop. On December 23, 2020 I leased a 2021 Lexus ES250 and 27 days later on January 19, 2021 I was involved in an accident.
I was rear ended and was assigned no fault and all claims initially went through the other driver's insurance. Now, my medical claims are being handled by both Progressive and State Farm. 50. 96. 00 to be used towards a rental vehicle. That…
Driver side seat peeling fake leathers
I have a 2009 Lexus 460 RL and just recently noticed the dashboard has cracked, melting and feels sticky. I contacted the dealership and was advised to bring my vehicle in and they would look at the dashboard; however once I arrived was advised that there was an extended warranty but it expired in March of 2021 and that a letter was mailed out to customers.
I advised that we never received any information about a warranty. Because of the pandemic, we hadn't been driving the vehicle and just noticed the cracking recently. Don't understand why this information about the warranty was not extended to all of your customers.
This vehicle was too costly to have faulty dashboards and you are now telling us that because the warranty has ended, you are not paying for something that's definitely…
I'm Haresh Nankani. I own a 2015 Lexus NX200t. I had a very very poor customer experience today (6/21/2021). I had a car issue and called customer care and the call went on transferring from main service center to road side assistance to technical support.
Finally I was told since my car didn't have extra warranty, I had to drive my car to the dealership. Somehow I drove to the dealership and my issue was fixed in exactly 5 minutes!! The dealership staff was very helpful.
I was completely taken aback by the poor handling of the case by the customer care. I would expect atleast a quick resolution by the customer care folks rather than passing the ball from one place to another and after 15-20 mins on phone getting the answer that there is no option but to drive to the dealership.
What if…
Good morning My 2008 Lexus RX 350 dash is melting I never gots recall I bought it new It has 74000 miles Dealer wants $2800 to replace dash can anyone please help I am now retired I was a barber so I have no pension Please help Thank you joseph stead Dillon [email protected]
I bought a new Lexus NX from Lexus Birmingham in July 2020, paid a deposit of £1000 and for some reason I couldn't get the car till February 2021, as I was shieling from Covid_19, I paid the full price of the car in order the car to be delivered. It was delivered but not to my satisfactions I returned the car with the same lorry it came with.
My money was returned after 2 months, I had to make so many phone calls and send so many emails. I was let down by Lexus Birmingham by so may ways and that gave a bad name to Lexus itself.
I still haven't bought a car yet and would prefer to go for a Lexus again as I had Lexus in the past and was very pleased with it but the experience I had lately is not helping to make the decision.
6/16/2021 It was an amazingly bad experience to talk to case manager today, she is very rude and no help at all !!!
Today I has case manager called me regarding my Lexus ES has sticky dash board. The name of case manager's name is Laquitta S ( 1st initial only). my case number is 201616002072. There was an service warranty on sticky dashboard issues from Lexus, but it was expired. I reached out to Lexus to figure out a way how to get issues resolved. The case manager has no empathy on my situation, in stead, asking me questions in an accusing ways ! Not only the issue did not get resolved, also make my very upset with the way she talked to me. This particular person Laquitta S needs additional training and not ready to be a customer facing person. She is not going to make Lexus better…
00 back in July 2020. For good few reasons the car wasn’t delivered to me till February 2021. I paid full price of the car to the dealership and the car was delivered but it wasn’t upto the standard I was expecting.
I returned the car with same lorry it came with but was let down badly by the dealership and it took them nearly two months after my various emails and phone call to pay back the payment to me. I really had a bad service from Lexus Birmingham.
Last month I need tow my wife 2012 Lexus rx350 to Lexus of Memphis Tn USA because I have problems with starting with push button my wife car Friday call me after diagnostic test they say need order computer under wheel steering controls start the car. They keep my car over the weekend Monday get be fixed because I have phone call from the service is ready to pick up.
I pick my wife car Tuesday next day afternoon I pay for over $1200 they bring my car outside the building and no one think clean or wash my car before giving to me after repairs get done. So I have questions only new cars get wash after service and not the older one when get fixed.
I very disappointed with this service dealer giving me back dirty car back and pay same one before take home to my wife. And my wife be mad too!!
I had the opportunity of visiting your service department the maintenance light came on in the NX. I brought it in , I was introduced to I think his name is Jose. He ask why was I there I explained the maintenance light had appeared I guess it’s for a oil change I don’t know he looks at the computer and says I have no maintenance on my vehicle, I proceed to tell him he is incorrect and
to allow to retrieve the paperwork from the car. He said it does not matter for if it is not in the computer it is not valid. I called Palm Beach Lexus, they tell me I’m not due for a oil change for it was change before purchasing the car, and that the light probably the tires needed rotating and he should be able to tell that from the computer.
I asked to see a manager he spoke to Jose, he (Jose) then…
WORST ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE!!!!!!
Sucks
car been in shop 4 times since Nov. They keep making excuses and claim there is nothing wrong with it. A car doesn't die with a new battery. This car has had 4 new batteries in 6 months. Obviously there is a problem.
Management acknowledged there is a problem then they back peddle and never resolve. Only excuses.
Also was advised if I wasn't happy I should go to another dealership. They could care less. Will never buy another Lexus and make sure I post everywhere that Lexus is condescending to Woman! I believe if this was a man they wouldn't try to get away with this BS.
I purchased a 2008 IS 350 from Hennessey in Atlanta Ga on May 17 2021. i signed all documents was waiting for them to washmy car and my salesperson came and said they let the passenger window down and they couldn't get it back up.
so they told me too pick it up the next day I live 150 miles away so I returned the next day to find that my car had not been washed and go home the window was not repaired I have been a Lexus owner since 2001 and have never experience this.
my normal Lexus dealership is Jim Hudson in Augusta Ga. I have never experienced this at that location in my immediate family of 4 we all drive a Lexus. Disappointed!!!
i own my 4th Lexux now having a 2020 UX 250H car ever since getting the car i have a rather strong noise comming from the runflex tires.
repeated compaints to the local dealer in Israel did not bring any help to bring this to an end even my request to change to another used car
just to get a noisless drive as expected from a lexus.
i took a test drive with the same car but a 2021 model which has no noise what so ever which as i was explained by the dealer is since regular tires were used which to my understanding should have been done with my car so that i can enjoy the drive as with my 3 previous lexuses.
any help would be appreciated
thanks

100,000 mile GX460 transmission has a shift solenoid bad (check engine codes P2714 and P0761) and Lexus solution was to flush trans fluid (CEL came back within 50 miles of driving). Remaining solution is a $6000 transmission replacement due to a likely $50 failed part and Lexus tells me warranty is void and I have to pay to fix their junk.
I lease one Lexus car in Richmond and when Jenny Chen(business manager) knew I would like to buyout, she provide a poor service to me. I didn't get her phone call when I left massages to her. I called another manager and this manager told me that Jenny will call you back next day, I still not received her call.
This is not respectfull to a customer. Is this because she cannot earn more money if I choose to buyout? I would like to buyout this month because my car insurance need to pay this month, unfortunately, I don't think I have enough time to finish this.
This issue is annoying me.
