There are 1 owner-reported speed control & cruise complaints for the 2025 Lexus TXin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
While stopped in traffic with my foot firmly on the brake pedal, my vehicle began accelerating forward unexpectedly. The vehicle seemed "possessed". It was as if the gas pedal was fully on the ground while my foot was still on the brake, so the car was lurching and seemed to be fighting itself. The vehicle continued moving forward and would not stop despite sustained and hard brake pressure. I was rapidly closing distance on the vehicle in front of me and narrowly avoided a collision by inches. The vehicle only stopped after I shifted it into park and then I shut the car off. This was a terrifying and dangerous event. The vehicle accelerated against brake input and created an immediate collision risk. I reported this incident to my local Lexus dealership (Lexus of Fife, WA). However, the dealership minimized the event in their service documentation and did not accurately record my description of unintended acceleration while braking. At that time, I was informed that Lexus had issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) related to this issue but has not issued a recall or broadly notified owners. If the manufacturer is aware of this defect and has not initiated a recall, I believe this poses a significant public safety risk. This issue presents a serious safety concern involving unintended acceleration despite brake application. I am concerned that other drivers could experience similar incidents, potentially resulting in injury or fatal accidents. I suspect that accidents have already resulted from this. I am requesting investigation into this defect. Owners should be notified and this should be recalled immediately.
