Owner complaints3
SERVICE BRAKES
Owners of the 2022 Lexus GX frequently report a loss of braking capability while stopped, with symptoms including the brake pedal gradually losing pressure and traveling to the floor despite being fully depressed. This issue often results in the vehicle moving forward at idle, requiring additional force on the brake pedal or shifting to neutral or park to prevent unintended movement. Another distinct issue involves the parking brake foot pedal, where owners describe a sharp edge that can cause cuts to footwear or skin, posing a potential safety risk if reflexive actions occur while driving. These complaints do not specify a consistent mileage range but highlight safety implications, such as the risk of rolling into intersections or injury from the sharp edge.
Owner complaints2
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners of the 2022 Lexus GX report issues related to the electrical system, with two main failure patterns emerging. One owner describes a severe incident where the steering wheel jerked unexpectedly, the brakes failed to engage properly, and the windshield wipers activated without input, resulting in a crash. Another owner reports that the hill assist feature malfunctions, causing the vehicle to drift backward and engage the traction control system, which can delay forward movement and potentially lead to accidents. These issues are reported at low mileage, around 1,500 miles, and pose significant safety risks, including the potential for crashes and loss of vehicle control.
The 2022 Lexus GX scores 81 out of 100, positioning itself well above the segment average of 70 in terms of reliability. This model benefits from a mature platform, being in its thirteenth year of the second generation, which often translates to refined performance and fewer unexpected issues. The absence of recalls further underscores its solid build quality and consistent reliability.
Complaints are limited, with a slight concentration in the service brakes category, but overall, they are sparsely distributed across different areas like the electrical system, power train, and suspension. This pattern suggests no systemic reliability concerns.
In summary, the 2022 Lexus GX presents a strong reliability profile with low overall risk, making it a dependable choice within its segment.
