There are 2 owner-reported electrical system complaints for the 2026 Lexus TXin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The vehicle is a brand new Lexus TX. The primary issue involves a brake system malfunction. While driving, a “BRAKE” warning message appeared on the dashboard. At the same time, the brakes were actively applied, and this occurred multiple times in succession during the same driving event. At the time of the incident, we were not aware that the vehicle should not be driven when this warning appears and drove the vehicle home. After reviewing the owner’s manual, we learned that the vehicle should not be driven under these conditions. The vehicle was then towed to the dealership for inspection. This event posed a significant safety risk. Repeated, unintended brake application while driving could result in sudden deceleration, loss of vehicle control, or increased risk of being struck by other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash, injury, or death. Prior to this incident, the vehicle also experienced a complete failure of the camera/display system, where the screen went black, impacting driver visibility systems. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and under inspection by the manufacturer’s authorized service center. The issue has not yet been confirmed or reproduced at the time of this report. There were no prior warning messages before the brake warning appeared. The failure occurred unexpectedly. The component(s) responsible for the failure are currently unknown, pending diagnostic evaluation by the dealership. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
03/15/26 Tried to start the car but it did not start. The display said Low Brake Power. This happened to brand new car. Called the Lexus 24/7 assistance, they jump start the car. Similar incident happened once again on 03/22/26. Called assistance they jump start the car again. The concern here is that it is happening to brand new car ran for only 2000-2400 miles. As the battery dies it becomes less safe to come out of car also.
