Holy S*#t. That certainly isn’t what any Tundra or GX 550 owners wanted to hear. The worst fear is……all 2024 to 2026 V35A engines eventually end up on the recall list. I sincerely hope that doesn’t happen as the PR hit from that would be hard to overcome.
Well unfortunately that very well could happen. It was quite a shock when they included some 2024 GX’s in the V35A recall. If I was looking to buy a new GX I would be inclined to wait 6 or 8 more months to see if this engine issue gets resolved for the 2027 models and beyond.
Wow, sorry to hear you have had all those issues. I will pass on your response to my buddy, he has a 2026 model so maybe they have solved some of the issues you have had. I appreciate your comprehensive response. I think the GX will serve you much better from a reliability and service standpoint.
Well they have recently cut back drastically on 2026 GX production for some reason. Are they limiting their warranty exposure? Protecting the Lexus brand? Have they solved the engine issue and they want to get the updated engines into the 2027 model year? Then maybe release the 2027’s a bit...

GR8Santini, I agree. All companies must know who their target customers are and evolve their products to meet their needs. However, I think the Premium and Premium (+) could have retained the softer luxury ride for that group of buyers and the Overtrail and OT (+) targeted to the younger or...
Thanks for sharing your concerns rapture ready. If Lexus wanted to move away from luxury on the GX and target the more rugged outdoor sector so be it. However, the Lexus badge has always come with the expectation of a high level of quality and service. For the most part they have always...
Sorry to hear you had to move on from your new GX, but glad to hear you got a killer deal on your trade in. Was the ride on your GX the only reason you decided to move on from it? If not, would you mind sharing your other concerns?
I have not been following this Nissan QC saga for the past 10 or 15 years as we have been driving Toyota/Lexus vehicles. I have just recently (30 days) considered a Nissan vehicle. I did see some stuff in the news about 6 years ago that involved the previous Nissan CEO Carlos Gohsn that...
