This page covers 2 recalls and 26 owner complaints for the 2022 Lexus NX.
Electrical system complaints dominate the 2022 Lexus NX owner reports, with drivers describing failures in the blind spot monitoring cameras, an electronic parking brake that won't engage while the vehicle is in park, and related electronics misbehaving after startup. A smaller cluster of owners reports transmission shuddering, specifically a torque converter vibration at low speeds and low RPM in lower gears, roughly in the 15–25 mph range. Two owners report visibility-related issues, and a single report describes a sunroof shattering at highway speed while the defroster was in use. The transmission shudder pattern is the most mechanically specific recurring complaint, with owners noting the vibration occurs consistently within a narrow RPM window.

By System
The 2022 Lexus NX has two recalls, both involving the rearview camera failing to display an image when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, reducing visibility behind the vehicle and raising the risk of a collision.
On certain vehicles, the camera may show nothing at all when backing up, while on vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor system, the camera image can freeze or go blank. Both issues stem from software errors and leave the driver without the rear view the system is designed to provide.
