Should You Buy the 2024 Lexus UX?
Yes, this is a solid used buy. Reliability stands at excellent, well above average among 2024 SUVs. Within the UX's eight scored model years it sits in the middle, so it is a strong year but not the single best one. It is also the last year of the first generation (2019 to 2024).
Owners filed just one complaint, about 1.1 per 10,000 sold. One filing is too little to show a pattern, and the data does not describe a recurring symptom. Federal recall records show no recalls for this year. The federal crash-test rating is 5 of 5 stars.
The 2023 UX rates about the same, with one complaint and no recalls, so it is a fair alternative if you find a better price. The 2025 rates lower, with two complaints and one recall. Whichever year you pick, ask for the service history and check the VIN against federal recall records before you pay.
Compared to the 2025 Lexus UX, which scored 3 points lower. See also the 2023 Lexus UX for an earlier comparison.

2024 Lexus UX Common Problems by Component
1 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
STRUCTURE
1 complaintSunroof exploded while driving within 24 hours of buying a new vehicle. Nothing fell on the car. We were driving in the highway and we heard an explosion, when we got out of the car to look, we saw that the sunroof exploded. I did not even know that was a thing prior to that, when I started searching after that and talking to my colleagues, seems like it was more common than I expected and is not limited to a single manufacturer. Although we were safe, glass would have fallen on us and we might have gotten into an accident because of distraction, especially when driving in highway. If this is going to be an ongoing issue, why are manufacturers being allowed to make cars with sunroof / moonroof and why are not customers informed of that while purchasing the vehicle?

2024 Lexus UX Common Questions
10 questions from 2024 Lexus UX owners.
2007 Lexus IS 250 run rough and one at idle wants to shut off help
My 2007 Lexus IS 250 started running rough . Check engine light is on VSC light is on – as well.got codes of a P0172, P0175, P0303. Took it for repairs they diagnosed the ignition system cleaned the mass airflow sensor fuel injection was clean. Replaced fuel injector cylinder three and reset computer now it is worse and more codes popped up. New codes are P0 300, P0171, P0174, P0355, and P0351. It is not overheating. It is not leaking. No other issues pop up. I do not know what’s wrong with it. More than a month
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
