The 2022LEXUSNX carries 30 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 11 crashes, 0 fires, 5 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2022 NX is unknown or other with 8 filings, followed by electrical system (6) and service brakes (3). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 2 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 3 investigation files overlapping the 2022 NX. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

The sunroof exploded while I was driving on the highway, traveling at approximately 70 mph. There was frost on the car & I had the defroster up high when initially getting into the car. However, by the time I got on the highway, it was turned down to the 2nd level. Prior to this occurring, I did not hear any noise or anything that would cause me to think there was something wrong with the sunroof. The explosion caused me to duck down immediately, but there were no other vehicles around me. The vehicle has been inspected and repaired. I filed a claim with my Insurance company & had the repairs completed at a local body shop. However, I do believe they took the vehicle to Lexus to be repaired.

The transmission (Torque Converter) is shuddering at a certain RPM range when it is in 3rd gear (in between 1000-2000 RPM) in my case. (Roughly 15-25 mph) This could lead to an uneven acceleration and cause an accident. Especially in a bad traction situation ex)snow, rain, uneven surface and etc. Also, it could cause and accident due to unable to accelerate in time. The vehicle was inspected and dealership were saying it was the tire and balancing issue, but not fixed. There is no warning light associated with.

[XXX] I was Braking while pulling into my Carport almost at the Rear curb, when Suddenly and without Any Warning, my 2022 NX 450h Accelerated Rapidly and sent Me up a short Hill and Crashed into a Large Tree While I still had my foot on the Brake. Then it kept Accelerating and the Front tires Dug a 4in Deep Hole while they were Spinning still with My foot on the brake! I was able to get the car into Reverse and backed it down the hill and turned it off. It wasn't Drivable due to the Extensive Front Damage, so I had it Towed it to my Local Roseville CA Lexus Dealership service and they Told Me to "Get The [XXX] out of Here". Then I had it Towed to a Repair Shop recommended by Lexus. Contacted Lexus to have an Investigation Started and it Took Almost 1 Month to Have an Investigator come out to Look at and had it Towed to Roseville Lexus To obtain the Crash Data from the Black Box.

The contact owns a 2022 Lexus NX450H. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V478000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
I allowed a software update to my vehicle about six weeks ago. Now, about 10 minutes after starting the car, a screen comes up, completely covering all vehicle information. The screen does not close except with repeated tapping of the X and the left bar. Closing the screen requires attention that would be better paid to road conditions and other drivers. I asked my Lexus dealer service department to get rid of the screen. They were unable to do so. They suggested contacting Lexus via the emergency button while parked. I did so but when I replied that I did not have an emergency, I was disconnected. If this screen came up when the vehicle is started, then it would not be a safety concern. But coming up 10 minutes after ignition, it is definitely a dangerous distraction. I live in a mountainous region where driving requires full attention. It is a 30 minute drive to where I can pull over and get rid of the screen. During this time I am distracted by the screen and have no acc
Safety recall was issue in July 2023. NHTSA Recall Number 23V478, Manufacturer Recall Number 23LB01. As of today March 2024, there still no remedy for the recall. I'm not able to use the car because of this safety recall. Over 8 months with no remedy or timeline when it will be fix.
Fuel door does not open. Mis-aligned door does not open. Car has been back to the dealer twice for this problem. Both times we were told the entire assembly was replaced and both times the door was still visibly mis-aligned. See photos attached
Hello, I'm currently in Ontario, Canada, and I've been experiencing an issue with my car. Specifically, the driver's door refuses to open when the temperature drops below freezing. This problem is consistently occurring, making it quite inconvenient as I'm unable to access the driver's side. It appears that the sensor freezes in such conditions, preventing the door from opening externally. Its been 5 days the temperature is below freezing and my driver side door will not open from outside door handle. Fortunately, it does open from the inside. This situation becomes particularly hazardous during strong winds when I have to open the door from the passenger side, risking the door swinging open unexpectedly. This could potentially lead to fatal consequences if the door collides with a passing vehicle or motorcycle. This issue is recorded by multiple dealers, its reported on Lexus forums and i have escalated it to Lexus of London. Canada. And Lexus USA too.
The electrical system failed. It operates just about all the systems including items that are normally operated manually. My wife entered the car and pressed the start button and the car would not start. The car locked my wife inside with no manual method for opening the door. Fortunately, I was home at the time and was able to execute a manual release of the door using a key found inside the remote. Lexus sent a AAA service truck to jump start the engine. We believe this dangerous situation is related to our previous complaint #11495096 for VIN [XXX] on 11/28/2022 where the car locked us out on two reported occasions. At vehiclehistory.com I found a similar problem reported for the Lexus RX450h, another plug-in Hybrid. In that case an amp meter was used to trace the source of the electrical drain from the battery. A faulty amplifier was consuming more power than needed and draining the 12 volt battery to a completely discharged state. There is a problem with the auxiliary battery hol
I purchased a new Lexus NX 350 on Oct 15, 2022. On Aug 7, 2023, with 6300 miles, my tire and wheel flew off while I was exiting a 5 lane highway. The tire continued rolling and went through the windshield of another vehicle. I was able to get the car off to the side of the exit ramp while riding on the rotor. The dealer claimed no responsibility even though the car had been in for its initial 5K service that included a tire rotation 1300 miles earlier. I asked Lexus Corporate to inspect the vehicle to protect others from a potential serious hazard. Lexus said the lug bolts were shorter in style and incompatible with the standard lug bolts. In addition the jack was missing. Why would I or anyone change lug bolts when the wheels and tires are still original? In addition, this SUV has 20â standard run flat tires which does not include a jack..
Driving down the interstate we heard a big bang. It startled us. Had no idea what it was. Like someone was shooting at us. We pulled over to the side of the interstate to see what was going on. We checked the tires and side glass then saw the rear section of the panoramic roof had shattered. We had to find a store and purchase masking tape to hold it all together to complete our drive back home There were no vehicles around us and nothing apparently hit it to cause that. We submitted it to insurance and brought it to dealership for a quote.
