What Owners Say
"The 12V battery discharged due to low usage. The charging system for the traction battery is not sufficient to keep the 12V battery charged, and the 12V battery must have a charge for the car to operate. The car was unusable until we got a charger attached (you can't "jump" this car) and the battery charged enough to operate the electronics in the car."
Anonymous, CA (2024 Lexus RX Plug-in Hybrid 450h+ 2.5-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)""It had to be replaced 2x, because the car became totally non-responsive. (could not open doors, etc.)""
Anonymous, QC (2024 Lexus RX Plug-in Hybrid 450h+ 2.5-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)"The new 12v battery died. It turns out the car comes with a very low spec battery not enough to support all the electronic systems in it. I had to replace it."
Anonymous, ON (2024 Lexus RX Plug-in Hybrid 450h+ 2.5-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)"Battery was defective and replaced by dealer no charge"
Anonymous, CA (2024 Lexus RX Plug-in Hybrid 450h+ 2.5-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)""The vehicle does not adequately maintain the charge on the 12 V battery. If you drive it like a normal ICE vehicle, the 12 V battery dies regularly. Im on my third 12 V battery in one year. I added a battery voltage monitor to watch the battery voltage and see when it is being charged. The vehicle only charges the 12 V battery when the vehicle is ON (in PARK) and in READY mode (not ACC mode). It does not charge the battery while you are driving the vehicle. So I must sit in the parked vehicle with it ON and in READY mode for 10 - 15 minutes every day to charge the 12 V battery. This is a major inconvenience and a serious reliability issue with the vehicle. Despite three visits to Lexus Service Departments, they are unable to fix the problem.""

Anonymous, CO (2024 Lexus RX Plug-in Hybrid 450h+ 2.5-L 4 Cyl plug-in hybrid)""We were locked out of our car and had to call roadside assistance. At the same time, sensors indicated that the battery was draining. Problem was traced to main controller. This repair took one week (!) because Lexus delivered the wrong part (unclear whether this was the fault of Lexus or the dealer).""

""The 12volt battery kept discharging- required to be jump started multiple times & dealer replaced the battery twice. Ultimately, Lexus bought out the lease under the Lemon Law""
