NHTSA complaints for the 2025 Lexus GX, grouped by the part owners named. Open a row to read what goes wrong.
Vibration at all speeds is the main complaint, and the usual fixes do not cure it. Wheel alignment and road-force balancing leave the shake in place. One tire shop found the wheels marginally out of round and recommended a suspension check. The other filing in this category describes the transmission, not the suspension: harsh knocking on downshifts and abrupt gear changes at low speeds. With only 2 complaints on file, there is no clear pattern or mileage trend. Neither report describes a crash, fire, or loss of control.
Complaints for this year next to the average for the other model years, area by area.
The 2025 ranks joint fourth for owner complaints among 8 GX years, close to the average of the others. Newer years have had less time to collect complaints, so compare like with like.
Recall repairs are free at any Lexus dealer, but the seller may never have had them done. Check each campaign number against the VIN.
