NHTSA complaints for the 2019 Lexus GX, grouped by the part owners named. Open a row to read what goes wrong.
The engine shuts off while the vehicle is moving. Reports describe stalls at highway speeds above 50 mph that happen more than once, with the engine restarting only after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Losing power at speed creates a real crash risk, and owners say so directly. One complaint ties the concern to the low-pressure fuel pump. Another says the dealer found no issue despite repeated stalls. The reports give no mileages. With just 2 complaints on file, the pattern is small but serious.
