My experience is kind of opposite arentz07. Maybe because it's the most reliable modern BMW. I had many Lexus cars/SUVs and over the same window of ownership, I had issues two GX none with the X5. The worse part is Lexus said my issue is within specs. It seems to be a common issue on GX family - the car drifts to one side. I hate these start/stop features. Some say with the 48V it's quiet. I still think it's a lot. Luckily mine is pre LCI and can be turned off with coding. Some MBs are worse.

 

Except ES and maybe IS, I think it's hard for Lexus to compete. I'm an SUV type of guy now and I don't see coming back Lexus anytime in future. Their vehicles are are not daily friendly IMO.

 

I also have never had a Lexus vehicle that didnt require warranty repairs...

 

I’ve had two used Lexuses. The first owners of my cars had lots of warranty work. My 2007 RX had to have a new navigation system installed when it was 2 years old. The GS had some things replaced but I’d have to look to see what they were can’t remember.

 

My 2015 LS460 had a new navigation system installed when it was 2 days old!

 

Owned two of the previous gen RX 350, never had an issue. True blue appliances.

 

In 11 years of Lexus ownership, I just had my first warranty repair. GS battery went dead and was replaced under the factory warranty. Car is almost 4 years old, but only has 5,000 miles on it, which is hard on a battery. I vow to drive it more!

 

Is the alternator and voltage regulator OK? They can contribute to excessive battery-drain if they get weak or fail.

 

Yes, they checked out fine. Purely a battery issue.

Though now my Tundra battery is dying, lol. Appointment tomorrow to get that one replaced!

 

I hate batteries so much.

 

The RX is peak appliance and the segment that Lexus is focusing on for whatever reason....once you move past that tier the brand becomes far less appealing AND starts to have issues.

Tenders for the win, I have 5 of them lol!

 

The crossovers for sure are appliances, but I really love what they did with the new GX, it's like a less pretentious G Wagon. Sadly the cars are a shadow of what they once were, excluding the LC500 and IS500, I think those two are still nice.

 

The new GX does seem like a home run that Lexus really needs.

 

I only have two, but I wholeheartedly agree!

 

I wouldn’t count LC as a current design. It was designed in an era (2012) where quality still meant something to Lexus.

Same goes to the RC. It was a previous generation era. Similar to the GS.
