The interior door latch is electronic with a manual lever in case it loses power. The problem is the electronic latch will occasionally malfunctions, and the door is partially open. When this happens, you cannot get the door to open all the way with the electric door latch or the manual door latch. The only way to get it open is to pull very hard on the door to close it again or get someone to push on the outside of the door. I alerted the dealer about this, and they said I have to push harder when I open the door. This has happened to me many times. The safety issue here is plain. If a person is not strong enough to pull the door closed it will not open.

Battery was DEAD after being parked for one week. Car was in residential garage (outdoor temp about 10 degrees. garage temp measured 46 degrees. Please Note: The SAME problem happened to my 2025 plug in RX and 2025 plug in NX. I doubt this is a coincidence and there are plenty of websites that indicate a significant problem.

The contact owns a 2025 Lexus NX 250. The contact stated that while parking in a disabled spot, going forward, the vehicle struck a handicap post during an unintended acceleration, which then crashed into the parked vehicle in front before the contact was able to shift the vehicle into park. The contact stated that the vehicle went over the parking barriers between the spots. The front of the vehicle and the driver's side fender were damaged, and there was property damage from the handicap post. The vehicle came to a stop after hitting the post. The contact then reversed the vehicle and shifted it into park. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred during rainy weather conditions and confirmed that the accelerator pedal was not depressed during the time of the failure. No air bags were deployed. The vehicle was able to be driven from the crash scene. There were no injuries sustained, and the other parked vehicle that was crashed into was unoccupied. The contact stated that before and after the incident, no warning lights were illuminated. A police report was filed. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,710.

With this 2025 Lexus NX350 Premium AWD, the front windshield glass is BADLY distorted. Looking at the road ahead while seated behind the steering wheel, objects aren't clear, they tend to be wobbly as there is a MAJOR safety issue here with the glass itself. My dealer told me that the other 2025 Lexus NX models they checked all have the same distorted windshield problem as mine does. Its so bad, I frankly can't drive the vehicle as much as I want because I get car sick, dizzy, and at times nauseated while traveling down the road. Perhaps it's a Toyota vender problem or simply a screw up with the development engineers that didn't catch the problem during the vehicles testing?

I purchased a brand-new 2025 Lexus NX 350 from Lexus of Smithtown, NY less than two months ago. At around 1,300 miles, I discovered a large amount of water pooled on the front passenger floor and could hear water sloshing inside the vehicle while driving. I immediately brought it to the dealership for inspection. According to the dealer’s service report dated October 13, 2025, technicians found the A/C drain clogged, removed the carpet from the front passenger area, and confirmed the padding was soaked with water. They recommended replacing the carpet, padding, and performing an A/C refresh service, estimating about $7,000. The dealership stated the issue was caused by “outside influence” and referred me to file an insurance claim rather than covering it under the new-vehicle warranty. The vehicle has never been exposed to flooding, road debris, or unusual environmental conditions. It is kept in a clean residential garage and driven under normal use. Given the extremely low mileage and short ownership period, this appears to be a manufacturing or design defect in the HVAC condensate drain system rather than external damage. Water intrusion inside the cabin poses potential safety and health risks, including mold growth, corrosion of electrical components, and possible impact on airbag or electronic systems. Similar A/C drain and water-leak problems have been reported by other Lexus NX owners in prior model years, suggesting a recurring design weakness that may also affect the 2025 model. Lexus should investigate whether the A/C drain design or installation allows premature blockage and issue a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) or recall if appropriate.
