Frequently Asked Questions

Which Lexus TX years should I avoid?
None. No model year falls well below the TX's own average, and all three tracked years rate excellent. The 2024 is the pick because it has the longest record. Check the air bag repair status on any car you consider.
Is the 2025 Lexus TX a good used buy?
It looks like a good buy so far. The 2025 rates excellent and has fewer complaints than the 2024, with the top group listed as unknown or other. It has had less time to collect reports, so its lighter record is not proof of better quality.
Is the 2026 Lexus TX too new to trust?
Yes, for judging reliability. The 2026 has one recall and no owner complaints, but that mostly reflects little time on the road. It rates excellent, yet the data is too thin to favor it over the 2024.
Which Lexus TX years have transmission problems?
The data does not tie transmission trouble to a year. Power train complaints include hesitation pulling away from a stop on a TX 500h and a shift knob that unscrews during gear changes. Treat both as items to test on any year.
Why is the 2024 Lexus TX recommended despite more complaints?
It has the most complaints mainly because it has been on the road longest. It still rates excellent. Its problems are well documented, mainly air bag repair delays and liftgate faults, so you can check for them before buying.
