People pay a premium price for the 2021 Lexus RX. They expect to get more than what would be received from a Toyota model, but they are sorely disappointed.
Here’s one NHTSA complaint worth reading. “I was driving home on US Highway 82 and my driver side door opened while I was driving. I know the door was completely closed before I began driving. There were no warning lights or audible alarms until the door automatically opened while I was driving.”
This isn’t the only latch or hinge that is causing trouble. Service Bulletin #L-SB-0042-20 states that the hood release cable is prone to seizing, sticking and binding. What is causing this issue? The cable assembly has already started to corrode, even though it is a newer model. This doesn’t sound very “refined” and is sure to cause an uprising of loyal Lexus owners. Whether it is the hood that isn’t secured or doors opening on their own, this Lexus RX is a rolling nightmare.
Lexus has been dealing with fuel system issues for many years now, so why would the 2021 RX be anything different?
Read this Edmunds review to hear about the fuel economy. “With a new vehicle, I’ve been driving very conservatively, yet I’m averaging 16 mpg. WTF???”
Previous models have been part of a class action lawsuit related to the fuel system. While the 2021 RX hasn’t been included yet, it’s probably only a matter of time, especially when considering NHTSA Campaign Number 21V043000. This must be one of the fastest recalls to show up after the release of a new vehicle. If a rear-end crash occurs in the RX, a transport hook that was left on the fuel filler pipe from the factory could damage the pipe and create a car fire. Only an automaker like Lexus would forget to remove a part that was only meant for transport. Yet, it’s pretty clear that the company doesn’t know the first thing about fuel systems, which will be evident when this “refined” lemon also ends up with massive lawsuits.
Think you have a lemon? Sit back and let the experts work out your lemon case at no cost to you. The law makes Lexus pay legal fees. You may be able to get your lemon out of your life. Every year, auto manufacturers buy back, replace or pay cash settlements to thousands of ‘lemon’ owners like you.
