2015 Lexus NX200T problems

“Brakes locked up while driving on the freeway, causing collision with another car and freeway guard rail. CHP report taken. AAA auto insurance does not seem interested in investigating manufacturing defect problems/issues. No dashboard warning/maintenance lights illuminated”

“the incident occurred at about [XXX] a.m. on [XXX] on [XXX] south near Chattanooga at approximately mile marker [XXX]. I was traveling in the left lane (of two) with a tractor trailer directly adjacent to me in the right lane. The dash cam confirms my speed was 70 mph and I was slowly passing the tractor trailer, with a car approximately 4 car lengths in front and another car approximately 4 car lengths behind. When my car passed over a small road seam (evident in the video) my brakes immediately locked up with no input from me (confirmed by EDR data). The car started to veer into the right lane and I corrected the car to the left, at which point the car began to rotate while on the highway, continued into the median, and after a 360 degree rotation came to rest and shut off automatically. This occurred the day after I had a comprehensive 120,000 mile inspection done by Lexus. Lexus has been almost completely unresponsive despite having had 2 technicians examine the car. I was told I would hear from Lexus by October 8th, it is now November 3. I commissioned forensic engineers to evaluate the Event Data Recorder and their conclusions are as follows: 1. The EDR…”

“While I was driving on the highway in cruise control, my car suddenly broke the cruise setting, slowed down, and the check engine light turned on. I pulled over and the car would not accelerate to over about 15-20 mph. I made it to an auto center, where they informed me that the reader said there was an issue with one of the fuel pumps. I am aware that there is a recall on fuel pumps in this model of vehicle and I believe that I experienced this defect.”

“The vehicle has 119285 miles on it. I have started to see oil leak from the transfer-case/transmission. I called lexus back in August 2023, they were aware of certain vehicle developing oil leak problems. They issued recall on certain vehicles and issued a TSB for oil leak repair. I called lexus today and took the vehicle to the dealership. There is an understanding that my vehicle won't be covered under recall even though the problem is known to lexus. This issue may lead to unexpected breakdown of the vehicle and lead to loose of control of the vehicle.”

“The contact owns a 2015 Lexus NX 200t. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal, ticking sound was emitted from the fuel tank. As the failure persisted, the vehicle entered "Reduced Engine Power Mode" and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic shop where a diagnostic check was performed, and it was discovered that the fuel pump was defective and needed to be replaced. A local dealer was contacted and an appointment was scheduled to have the vehicle serviced. The contact arrived for the appointment but was informed that the fuel pump was on backorder and the appointment needed to be rescheduled. The contact informed the dealer that driving the vehicle felt unsafe because the commute exceeded one hour. The dealer assured the contact that the vehicle was safe; however, while driving the vehicle back to the residence, the same failure returned. After restarting the vehicle, the contact drove the vehicle to the residence. A second appointment was scheduled with the dealer, and a service advisor arrived at the residence of the contact in a rental vehicle and drove the vehicle back to…”

“Left work for work in the morning and as I turned off my street to get onto a main street, I drive a block and the Check Engine Light appears and message appears on my console State "AWD System Malfuction." See Dealership Service. Drove to the dealership to drop off my care, and after 3 days of inspecting my car, the service specialist messaged me with a service summary of a list of items that need to be repaired to have my car run safely again. The total service totaling over 10k, which included repair head cylinder, valve guides, gasket, valve exhaust, cylinder head gasket cover. After speaking to the Service Specialist, he told me the issue is what they refer to "engine wrap" where the cover to the engine distorts (due to heat and time) and messes with the engine itself. He informed me this is a known issue that can occur with the 2015 NX200t.”
