I am filing this complaint regarding the handling of Safety Recall 25LA07 (NHTSA Recall ID 25V767) affecting my 2023 Lexus LX600. On January 2, 2026, I delivered the vehicle to the authorized Lexus dealer in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in response to the recall, which identifies potential engine knocking, rough running, engine no-start, and/or loss of motive power. These conditions represent serious safety risks. Since that date, the vehicle has remained at the dealership. More than five weeks have passed, and neither the dealer nor Lexus has provided a definitive remedy, technical instructions, or a timeframe for repair. We have been told they “do not yet know” whether the solution will involve reprogramming or full engine replacement. In short, there is no clear plan or expected completion date. Because the manufacturer has acknowledged a potential engine malfunction and the increased risk of crash, my wife does not feel safe operating the...
Description of Incident: This is a recurring safety defect that has occurred multiple times from August 2023 to February 2026. The following description refers to the most severe incidents: 1. NATURE OF DEFECT: The vehicle experienced a sudden "Limp Mode" event where all dashboard warning lights illuminated simultaneously, followed by an immediate loss of propulsion while in motion. Subsequently, the vehicle suffered from a dangerous 3-second acceleration lag/delay. This 2023 Lexus LX 600 creates a life-threatening risk on public highways, as the driver cannot reliably control the vehicle's speed or power to avoid collisions. 2. MANUFACTURER’S ADMISSION: The vehicle has been presented to authorized Lexus dealerships. While the dealership could not provide a permanent fix, the manufacturer’s own internal tracking system now explicitly confirms: "REMEDY: NOT AVAILABLE." This is a formal admission by Lexus/Toyota that the vehicle has a catastrophic system failure with no known fix. 3. REQUESTED ACTION: Lexus/Toyota...
My car suffered complete engine failure at 25,522 miles. Lexus claims that it is not in the VIN range of the recall. However, it is the exact same problem all other 2022-2023 LX600 are experiencing and being recalled for. Lexus is clearly minimizing the extent of the engine failure issue and my VIN is also part of the problem.
my problem occurs intermittenly, it occurs when i am idling at a stop. when i have to accelerate from the stop the car will lurch forward and die for approximately 3 seconds. It will then restart and drive normally, however the stopping in the middle of oncoming traffic is potentially life threatening. It has occurred approx 8 times since i bought the car in June 2023. I had the ECO recall done and it also occurred shortly after that. I have taken it back to the dealer and they could not recreate the problem. It occurs after idling and waiting and then accelerating quickly to merge.
I have had several incidents of having to accelerate quickly and the engine stalled out. i reported it to the dealership and they claimed they could not recreate it and sent me on my way. Now that there is a supposed recall I would like to get my motor replaced or at least scheduled asap
My car has had a rough idle off and on for 1 year. What is really scary is that 2 times in the last two weeks I have lost engine acceleration when pulling into traffic.
