Complaints for the 2018 Lexus RX are spread across several systems, with brakes drawing the most reports. Owners describe brake concerns ranging from reduced stopping feel to unexpected behavior during normal driving. Structural complaints are the second most common named category, with multiple owners reporting worn or grease-leaking ball joints and sway bar links at relatively low mileage, suggesting premature suspension wear. A smaller cluster of engine complaints involves check engine lights accompanied by misfires and fuel mixture irregularities. A few owners also describe the instrument panel display going blank at startup, which limits visibility of warning indicators while driving. An isolated report mentions the panoramic sunroof sunshade bunching up and failing to fully retract when operated.
