Thinking of getting a Lexus pretty soon?
Get in here and skim through this.
1. 2007 Lexus ES 350
Years 2007 and 2008 were simply terrible for Toyota's luxury division. The 2007 ES 350 has its all melting dashboards and other interior parts that were sub-par, but the 2008 model for the ES 350 was worse. The 2008 model even had deteriorating steering wheel material alongside its melting dashboards, and an oil-leaking engine made things so much worse for the brand and the ES 350.
Moreso, some customers reported blown engine heads, which made the 2008 model a lot costlier to report, making it, by far, the worst ES 350 from Lexus. It even came with faulty electronics which inadvertently made the moon roof and the windows open by themselves.
2. 2007 Lexus LS 460:
The 2007 LS 460 reported melting dashboards and armrests! In fact, even the door panels melted in the car, which led to huge numbers of recalls for the car. To make matters worse, the car also had a faulty brake actuator, which failed a lot of customers, making the 2007 LS 460 a car Lexus wants to forget.
3: 2009 Lexus RX 350: This mid-size SUV suffered from massive oil leaks and loss of oil pressure, and a steering rack leak made matters worse.
These repairs were quite costly as well, which makes the 2009 Lexus RX 350 the car's worst model year, followed closely behind by 2007. Even the transmission is faulty for this one, and thus, the 2009 RX 350 is simply a bad vehicle, and best left avoided and forgotten.
4. 2006 Lexus GX 470:
A clunky engine was the first of the SUV's problems, which were further enhanced by a problematic drivetrain that left thousands of customers with a bad taste in their mouths. Thus, the 2006 GX 470 is one of the worst-rated Lexus cars when it came to reliability and long-term usage.
5. 2007 Lexus IS 250:
The IS 250, as good a car as it is today, had problematic interior accessories in 2007, the first of which, unsurprisingly, was the melting dashboards and interior materials. Electrical failures were pretty frequent in the car as well, which led to the 2007 Lexus IS 250 becoming the worst of IS 250 in the car's entire model year history.
