Any issues resolved for the 26 model year? (2 Viewers)

do any 2026 owners have the issues from the previous years such as hood flutter, brake squeal, back up camera issue, harsh down shift from 2nd to 1st gear, windshield cracking, etc…? I put a deposit for a L+ a week ago. Please give me some comfort bc I’m questioning my decision

I had the same reservations when I put my deposit down two months ago. I joined this forum and watched YouTube videos to learn. There is a great group of people on this site with a whole lot of knowledge and much to be learned here. I finally picked my OT up last Saturday and was specifically looking for these things on my test drive before I signed the paperwork. I took a 15-20 mile drive in various conditions. First thing was to back in reverse while still at the dealership and no break squeal. Camera good as well. I made sure to stop at several lights at different speeds and the down shifting was very smooth, actually not even noticeable. My hood does flutter but it’s very minimal. It doesn’t really bother me at this point.

The only thing I noticed on the test drive is that there sounds/feel like something is loose in the front of the vehicle. It’s only noticeable over larger bumps in the road and it’s intermittent. The service person said it’s common on the OT’s because of the EKSD system and sway bar. I plan on posting here about it to get feedback from others who have much more experience on here than I do mechanically and behind the wheel of the 550’s

In conclusion I absolutely love my GX and it’s so fun to drive. No regrets in my purchase. Sometimes I like to just look at it parked in the garage. It gets a lot of looks as there isn’t a lot of GX’s on the road where I live. Wait till you try out the massage seats. There is so much to learn with all the new technology. Have fun and enjoy, the little things can be adjusted at your dealership.

I’ve had my 2026 OT for about a month and haven’t experienced any of the common issues thus far.

I did look for them during my test drive and could not notice any. Purchased at 200 miles and just hit 1k, still looking good so far.

You won’t regret it, as mentioned above I don’t see many GXs on the road which is nice. You will get a lot of looks, but in a good way.

I bought my 2026 OT two weeks ago and haven’t had any of the issues you mentioned so far.
