Just bought a pre-owned 2018 GX with 38,000 Om’s This vehicle is a dream to drive. The more you drive it the better it feels Can’t wait to drive it in the winter I will never get rid of my GX Some reviewers say the interior is dated I think it is perfect Who cares about all of the modern gimmicks that you will never use
Dont do it

Rides like a farm tractor, transmission seal failed at 30k miles replaced under warranty thankfully, also the steering wheel rattled like crazy and lexus claimed this was “normal”. Its also slow and with bad gas mileage. Was really bummed out. Couldn’t wait to get rid of it. There are much better options just do not buy this one.

We HAD (with emphasis) a 2018 Lexus GX 460 with only 27,000 miles on it when the alternator decided to completely fail. We live in a very remote area in the summer that is not close to a Lexus dealership so we had a local mechanic replace the alternator. When we returned to our main residence in Florida we took the vehicle to the dealership we purchased it from for a checkup and presented them the bill for replacing the alternator. The service representative said they would submit it to Lexus for reimbursement and we should get a check within a few weeks. Weeks passed and finally we received a call from our rep saying we would have to deal directly with Lexus Corporation. The corporate office made us jump from hoop to hoop while knowing full well they had no intentions of reimbursing us because we didn’t use a “certified Lexus mechanic”. Lexus has always touted themselves as a “customer comes first” company. Clearly these core values have gone by the wayside. Additionally their quality control that they have always prided themselves in has totally gone down the tubes. After reading all these negative reviews I can see I’m not the only one who has issues with this company. We will not be buying any more Lexus vehicles in our lifetime and many of our friends who own a Lexus will hear our story. Sadly Lexus will be keeping OUR $921.97. They apparently will need it to keep their head above water from all of their problems.

I purchased this vehicle for my wife after having an excellent experience with a Toyota Tundra. I was looking for reliability and she wanted luxury, both fell short. I’ll touch on the main issue first, reliability. The vehicle is not by any means cheap and with the Toyota/Lexus reputation I expected superior reliability. Early on, we had a check engine light that turned out to be an emissions pump that failed; this is a recall on other vehicles, but not the GX. I don’t remember the exact cost, but it was around $3k, which Lexus did not cover any of that expense. Recently, the radiator went out, which was another $1k (this is sort of a wear and tear issue so I’m not really complaining about it, just mentioning). And finally the issue that ruined it for me, our transmission failed which is a $7k fix. This is considered a luxury vehicle, but compared to competitors it is about 10 years behind the times. The quality of the interior is good, but the dash has not been updated in forever and is honestly less desiarable than any new pickup truck. I will say the LX has been updated, so I would imagine the GX should get a facelift soon.

After having technology issues with another brand my husband decided to spoil me and got me a brand new one with 2 miles on it! He is always around Lexus products I never has really had any problems with them, until this one! From technology issues with phone syncing, voice recognition issues, navigation map issues, to excessive bouncing rough vibrations from front right end, constantly having tires balanced, road force, even had to have my Michelin tires replaced sooner than normal because they wore out before their time, bad tires. New tires still have the balance tires constantly, check alignment, extremely bumpy ride all the time they keep saying it’s normal for the type of platform a four-wheel-drive that it is. But yet I can get into other vehicles of theirs that are loaners that are of the same model and they ride smooth as a baby’s a.. Camera issues with the screen freezing or slow to switch back to normal screen they can’t figure out the problem says everything checks out normal no codes. I have had to have the brain replaced in it. And still have the same problems and more new problems. I feel terrible complaining to my husband about it because we spent a lot of money on this one and it’s nothing but a headache. And if it wasn’t so much work to file a lemon law soon I would’ve done it already and still may it’s just so much work!!
