Recent 2024 Lexus NX complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Electrical System · reported Sep 17, 2026
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.
Structure · reported Sep 16, 2026
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…

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…
Electrical System · reported Aug 16, 2026
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…
