2004 Lexus GX — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 28 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Body & structure9 (32.1%)
• Suspension4 (14.3%)
• Air bags (restraint system)3 (10.7%)
• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)2 (7.1%)
• Tires & wheels2 (7.1%)
• Exhaust & emissions control1 (3.6%)

Other / uncategorized: 4 classifications (14.3%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (338 records, model years 2003–2026) are most frequently classified under: body & structure, air bags (restraint system) and electrical system.
• Manufacturer communications (1,289 records, model years 2003–2026) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and body & structure.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
