Should You Buy the 2024 Lexus TX?
Reliability is excellent here. This model year sits well above average among 2024 SUVs and is the best of the three scored TX years. Owners filed 35 complaints, about 1 per 10,000 sold. The 2025 model rates about the same.
The main trouble is air bags. In most of the 17 air bag complaints, the curtain air bag recall repair stalls at the dealer because parts are unavailable for months. Some owners have had cars parked since mid-2024 and say they cannot drive or sell them. Other reports describe the power liftgate closing on people's heads, the car shutting down and locking all doors with the key inside, and sunroof glass shattering on the highway with no sign of impact.
Ask any seller for proof that the air bag, electrical and back over prevention recalls were completed. If the curtain air bag repair is still open, expect to wait. A 2025 is worth a look, since it rates about the same.
Compared to the 2025 Lexus TX, which scored 2 points lower.

2024 Lexus TX Recall Details
3 recalls have been issued for the 2024 Lexus TX. All recall repairs are performed free of charge at authorized dealerships.
AIR BAGS
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, Grand Highlander Hybrid, Lexus TX350, TX500 Hybrid, and TX550 Hybrid+ vehicles. The driver and passenger side curtain air bags may not unroll as intended and could partially deploy outside of an open window. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."
Consequence
An improper deployment of the side curtain air bag can reduce occupant protection during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the driver and passenger curtain shield air bag assemblies, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed November 4, 2024. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24TB09/24TA09 and Lexus' numbers are 24LB05/24LA05.

Due to an error in the instrument panel software at vehicle startup, the instrument panel may fail to display vehicle speed, brake system, and tire pressure warning lights.
Consequence
An instrument panel display that does not show critical information can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Remedy
Dealers will update the instrument panel software for non-PHEV vehicles, free of charge. For PHEV vehicles, dealers will inspect the instrument panel assembly, and either replace it, or update the software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed December 5, 2025. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 25TB08 and 25TA08. Lexus' numbers for this recall are 25LB05 and 25LA05.
BACK OVER PREVENTION
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru Solterra vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. A software error may cause the rearview camera to freeze or display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence
A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will update the parking assist software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed January 2, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 25TB13 and 25LB06. Subaru's number for this recall is WRE25.

Used Buying Checklist
Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2024 Lexus TX.
Run the VIN for open recalls and get dealer paperwork showing any air bag recall work was completed.
Test the hands-free liftgate while standing behind it and confirm it never closes by itself.
Look behind the lower front grille for a dented condenser, then run the A/C on max and confirm it blows cold.
Inspect the sunroof glass for chips or cracks and ask whether it has ever been replaced.
On a TX 500h, pull away from stops repeatedly, including uphill, and feel for hesitation or a neutral-like loss of drive.
Twist the shift knob to check it is tight, then shift through neutral and back into drive several times.
Check the driver seat cushion trim for loose plastic, and fold the third row to look for a bump under the cover.
Drive at highway speed and watch for repeated driver-assist warnings or a vibrating driver-side mirror.
2024 Lexus TX Common Problems by Component
35 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
AIR BAGS
17 complaintsSafety-relatedCurtain air bag recall repairs stall at the dealer in most of these reports, with parts listed as unavailable for months. Filers describe cars parked since mid-2024, no comparable seven-seat loaner, and insurers threatening to drop coverage. Several say they cannot drive or sell the vehicle while they wait. Of the 2 crash reports, both involve injuries. One describes the driver and passenger air bags failing to deploy in a side impact and the driver seatbelt not locking, leaving the driver with a concussion.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
4 complaintsSafety-relatedThe power liftgate closes on people while they stand behind the car unloading. One crash-flagged report says it struck heads more than once, and a dealer technician reproduced the fault but only suggested turning the foot sensor off. Other reports describe the car shutting down and locking every door with the key inside, with the manual backup handles not working. Driver-assist warnings such as Lane Departure and Forward Collision Avoidance appear at around 1,600 miles and return after repeated dealer repairs. Road debris damaging the A/C condenser also shows up here.
SEATS
3 complaintsPlastic trim parts break or come loose. The casing around the driver seat cushion detaches within months and slides into the driver's left foot area. Folding the third row leaves a bump under the cargo cover, caused by a bent plastic bracket near the spare wheel well, and the dealer says the fix means replacing the whole unit. Some shorter drivers say the driver seat will not rise high enough to see over the hood, which dealers call normal. Warranty claims for these issues are denied.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER (3 complaints)
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
3 complaintsThe A/C stops cooling after rocks get past the front grille and puncture the condenser, and owners pay for the replacement because it is not covered by warranty. Sunroof glass shatters at highway speed with a bang loud enough to sound like a firecracker, leaving a large hole in the roof. On the TX 500h, the car hesitates between first and second gear from a stop, feels like it drops into neutral, and can roll backward on a hill. Dealers cannot reproduce it.
VISIBILITY/WIPER (2 complaints)
VISIBILITY/WIPER
2 complaintsSunroof glass shatters on the highway with a loud pop and crackling. These reports find no sign that anything hit it. In one case the broken glass later falls into the cabin, and the closed sunshade is what keeps fragments off the occupants. Separately, the driver-side mirror vibrates at freeway speeds, which blurs the rear view and reflects light into the driver's eyes. The passenger mirror and the rearview mirror are unaffected.
POWER TRAIN (2 complaints)
POWER TRAIN
2 complaintsThe car hesitates and loses power when pulling away from a stop, as if it were starting in too high a gear, and recovers only after the driver lifts off and presses the pedal again. That leaves the vehicle exposed while turning across traffic, and this report involves the TX 500h hybrid. The shift knob also unscrews during gear changes, especially when shifting into neutral for a car wash. That makes it hard to get back into drive and has nearly caused collisions.
Chest Clip (1 complaints)
Chest Clip
1 complaintI have a Nuna Rava carseat that has malfunctioning harness straps. The straps can be pulled loose even after proper buckling and tightening. My child is at risk of injury, bodily harm, or death in the event of a car accident due to the harness straps failing to stay tight. The car seat has not been inspected.
TIRES (1 complaints)
TIRES
1 complaintWhile driving on highway tire separated frô wheel And flew off leading to loss of control of vehicle.
WHEELS (1 complaints)
WHEELS
1 complaintWhen turning the truck left, there is a clicking sound that sounds like it’s coming from the axel. Contacted Lexus and it is a known issue. They advised it is not a safety concern but a mold problem. Getting axel replaced.
ENGINE (1 complaints)
ENGINE
1 complaintThe car gives out from a stopped position, when hitting the accelerator. As if the car stalls without turning off. It’s happened at least 3 times. Dealership is telling me nothing is wrong with the car.

2024 Lexus TX Common Questions
10 questions from 2024 Lexus TX owners.
Stalling and stopping
My vehicle only has 30,800,000 miles. If the fuel pump which is a recalled part is the manufacture responsible There is no way of knowing, it stalls when accelerating A few days
No power steering
i just bought a 2006 lexus rx400h and i have zero power steering, a p/s light and "check hybrid system" and "check vsc system" as well as p1421, p3298, c1310, c1336 codes, it has a brand new car battery More than a week
Braking malfunction
After about 100 miles all the dash lites came on,cel,anti skid parking brake ECT. It said pull over right away and have towed to dealer. Well I was not to far from home so drove it home. The brake pedal was very hard to push so I drove slow and tried not to use brake pedal. I could use it if I did it gently. Next morning , drove it to shop and they called me back and said they got a code c1247 which was brake pedal stroke sensor. Replaced that and had it calibrated. After driving around 70 miles it did the same thing. Stiff brake ,lites on dash, so took it back and it came back with the same code so they erased the code on the obd and it drives perfect until I hit the 70 mi and does it again. This has happened like 5times and even took it to different shops. All they do is reset code and they tell me it is good to go .Could it be in the brake booster? When I tell them the problem is still there they all have said " it's probably the abs module but they are just guessing. Booster? When the dash lites are off it rides perfect for 70 miles or so More than a month
Repair estimate
Is it worth it to repair a 2007 Lexus RX400h that needs the compressor, condenser and hybrid battery replaced? Car no longer turns on. The heat/AC would make the car run rough. More than a month
Seatbelt alarm
The seatbelt alarm for the rear middle seatbelt goes off even when no one is sitting in the back seats and no items are on the seats either. The only way I’ve been keeping this from triggering every time I drive is to keep the middle seatbelt latched. I’ve been told that it is a faulty sensor in the latch and it should be replaced. Is this the only way? More than a year
