What 2014 Lexus GX owners say

Electrical system

Constant rebooting of the Infotainment system which includes heat/air conditioning - defrosting of windows etc. I have had this problem for more than a year. I have consulted with Lexus dealerships. I was told this problem exists with various models of Toyota and Lexus. Every time I start the vehicle - it starts rebooting - then the screen keeps blinking on and off like it is beginning to start then it stops. I have disconnected the battery to re attempt. Works for 2 minutes than fails. I purchased a micro SD card for 2014. Worked for a day then on the screen states need a dealership. Then I leave it for days, it starts as normal then starts the re-boot. Totally frustrated. Dealer problem. Should be a re-call....Not a $4000 repair.

Jan 2023

The infotainment screen on my 2014 Lexus GX 460 has been restarting continuously, rendering it unusable. This system controls essential functions, including the air conditioning, vehicle settings, CD player, and Bluetooth connectivity. Due to the screen constantly restarting, I cannot adjust the AC, use the CD player, or connect my phone via Bluetooth. These malfunctions could pose a safety risk, especially if the AC cannot be adjusted in extreme weather conditions. There were no warning lights or error messages before the issue began. I have not yet had the issue inspected by a dealer or independent service center, but I plan to do so.

Suspension

I have a 2014 Lexus GX 460 which has an obvious lean to the right/passenger side. The passenger side sits approximately 1" lower in the front. When I brake the vehicle pulls hard to the right every time. This is a safety concern for me due not knowing if the vehicle will overturn if involved in an accident/hard braking. It is also a concern that parts will eventually wear quicker on the passenger side of the vehicle due to the substantial lean causing safety concerns down the road. I have taken the vehicle to a certified Lexus dealer who advises that Lexus issued a service bulletin for this exact issue. Lexus further advised me that they are aware of the problem but my lean was not in Lexus specifications to be fixed with the new part that Lexus has already engineered to fix this problem. …

My entire vehicle lean excessively to the right side, I took it into the dealership and they said that's normal and within the vehicle spec. Second issued when vehicle is in motion and the brake applied the driver seat move about 1/4 inch they said that's also normal. Never heard of that's normal for the seat to move forward and that's is safety.
