Lexus Vehicle Problems? You're Not Alone

Lexus Lemon Law Claims in California

If you’re dealing with a defective Lexus vehicle in California, you have important legal rights under state and federal warranty laws.

At Mission Law Group, we have successfully represented numerous clients in claims against Lexus, helping them obtain the compensation they deserve.

Lexus’s Lemon Law Track Record

Specific data solely for Lexus vehicles involved in lemon law cases in California is limited. However, as a division of Toyota Motor Sales, Lexus is included in the following statistics:

  • Lexus recalled 11,000 RX and NX models in 2024 for faulty head restraints that could increase injury risk. (pressroom.toyota.com)
  • Lexus RX 350 models from 2007, 2008, 2010, 2016, and 2017 suffer from oil leaks, engine failures, and transmission issues. (motorbiscuit.com)
  • Lexus IS 250 models from 2006–2008 have dashboard melting, infotainment failures, and fuel line leaks. (rerev.com)
  • Lexus recalled certain 2020–2022 models in 2023 for faulty airbag sensors that could affect deployment. (pressroom.toyota.com)
  • Lexus consistently ranks among the most reliable brands, with several models scoring above average in recent surveys. (consumerreports.org)

If you’re tired of dealing with the same problems, it might not just be bad luck—it could be a lemon. Know your rights.

Common Lexus Vehicle Issues That Qualify Under Lemon Law

If you’re experiencing any of these recurring problems with your Lexus vehicle:

  • Transmission failures
  • Engine performance issues
  • Electrical system malfunctions
  • Safety system failures
  • Steering problems
  • Brake system defects
  • Navigation/infotainment system problems
  • Suspension issues
  • Structural defects

You may have a strong lemon law case against Lexus.

Warning Signs Your Lexus Vehicle Is a Lemon

Your Lexus vehicle might qualify as a lemon if:

  • It’s been in the shop 2+ times for the same safety issue
  • You’ve had 4+ repair attempts for any persistent problem
  • Your vehicle has been at the dealership for 30+ days total
  • The problems started while under warranty
  • The issues affect your vehicle’s safety, value, or use

Your Rights Under California Lemon Law

California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.2) provides strong protections for consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles.

Under this law, Lexus must either replace your defective vehicle or provide a refund if they cannot repair it after a reasonable number of attempts during the warranty period.

You may have a valid lemon law claim if:

  • Your Lexus vehicle has a substantial defect covered by the warranty
  • The defect impacts the vehicle’s use, value, or safety
  • Lexus has made multiple unsuccessful repair attempts
  • Your vehicle has been in the repair shop for 30 days or more
  • The problems occurred during the warranty period

Why Lexus Owners Need to Act Now

  1. California’s lemon law is changing in 2025, potentially reducing consumer protections
  2. Lexus’s internal policies often resist initial lemon law claims
  3. The manufacturer has an entire legal team – you need someone on your side

What Lexus Might Tell You – And What You Should Know

Dealing with a problematic Lexus vehicle can be frustrating, especially when you’re told things like:

“This is normal for your vehicle” 

Reality check: If your car isn’t working properly and it’s affecting how you use it, its value, or your safety – that’s not “normal.” California law protects you against substantial defects, regardless of what’s considered “normal” for that model.

“Just let us try one more repair” 

Here’s the truth: You don’t have to keep giving endless repair chances. Our attorneys understand you have a life outside attempting to get the manufacturer to fix your car. Four (4) times to fix the same problem or being without your vehicle for over 30 days is just plain unreasonable.

“This isn’t a serious enough problem”

Don’t let anyone minimize your concerns. If the problem makes your car less useful, less valuable, or less safe, it could qualify under lemon law – even if the dealership doesn’t think it’s “serious enough.”

“Your modifications voided your rights” 

Not so fast. Unless your modifications actually caused the problem, you still have rights under California’s lemon law. Simple modifications don’t automatically disqualify your claim.

Look, we get it. When you’re told these things by people who seem knowledgeable, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But you have real rights under California law, and we’re here to help you understand and protect them.
