This page covers 1 recall and 36 owner complaints for the 2019 Lexus RX.
The dominant complaint theme for the 2019 Lexus RX centers on the automatic emergency braking and forward collision avoidance system, which draws the most owner reports. Owners describe the system triggering unexpectedly, braking or accelerating without driver input, in low-speed situations such as parking lots and stop-and-go traffic. Brakes are the second most-reported area, with several owners describing a squeaking or honking noise when pressing the brake pedal, often linked to the brake actuator. Some of those owners report the condition was confirmed by a dealership but left unresolved. A handful of complaints under the fuel and propulsion system round out the top three, though the descriptions there are more varied. The brake actuator noise pattern, stiff pedal feel accompanied by an audible squishing or honking sound, appears consistently enough across multiple reports to stand out as a specific, recurring symptom.
