Read complaints for LEXUS CT (2012)
Our horn stopped working. We were advised that this was a spiral cable assembly failure, and the airbags are likely affected. Toyota initiated a recall in 2014 for this part, however we are told our vehicle does not qualify for recall.
I received a letter to call lexus dealer to schedule a appointment to do a recall on my air bags, i did call and has been 1 year and they didn't call back to do the recall.
The contact owns a 2012 lexus ct. While driving approximately 10 mph, the contact's vehicle was struck by another vehicle in the front driver side wheel area. The driver side air bag deployed, but the passenger side air bag did not.the contact was injured and required medical assistance. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified and there was no recall related to the failure. The failure mileage was 19,100.
Takata recall. Even though there has been a recall lexus has yet to recalled our car to be worked on.received a postcard indicating they will notify us when we are able to take car in.
A black computer module fell out from under the dash and is hanging by a cord between the brake and parking brake.
I had my headlights replaced under a recall. Roughly one year later my headlight is out again. It seems the problem has not been resolved. The headlight assemblies are very expensive and containa lot of parts. I'm not sure where the problem lies, and therefor i'm not sure what needs to be replaced.
Complete loss of power in both the gas engine and in the hybrid electric engine while going 70 mph,both the alarm systems-audible and dash went off. With no power i was able to get off the highway without crashing the car.
There is a well known flaw with toyota hybrids that toyota needs to address and fix.when you brake to come to a stop, if they car encounters bumps or potholes, the brake pressure will momentarily decrease and the car will surge forward.it does not appear to affect certain vehicles, but rather all hybrids.it can lead to a pedestrian being hit or other accident.it is most disconcerting to feel the car lurch forward while braking to a stop.please investigate and put pressure on toyota to issue a recall and repair.
I purchased my two new 2012 lexus ct200hs in december 2012 with 23 miles on it.one of them has been totally fine.the other one, from the first day, had a very jittery ride. I returned to the dealer and they confirmed the ride was abnormal and they replaced all 4 michelin tires.the tire replacement did not change the cars ride or behavior.i've returned to 2 lexus dealerships multiple times as well as have been working with lexus hq, and they're all now saying that the car is performing as designed.i can deal with a rough riding car, but at highway speeds, this lexus has a high frequency vibration that travels through the car:can feel in the floor, steering wheel, doors, seats.i commute 17 miles to work and by the time i exit the highway, my feet and lower legs are nearly numb from the vibration.the car is physically exhausting to drive.i can't believe that lexus would call this driving experience as "performing as designed".
Vehicle 2012 lexus ct200h90,800 miles. The vehicle burns oil very rapidly. Performed oil consumption test and was 2 quarts low after 1000 miles. There is a tsb out on this situation which i have attached. This vehicle will definitely not make it between oil changes. This vehicle does not have any oil indicator lights on the dash and there is no way to know when the oil just runs out. Very scary.all of the vehicle recommended maintenance was performed at the lexus dealership. A service history report is attached. It has been concluded there is a design flaw in the piston and piston rings not sealing properly causing oil to blow by into the cylinders. The oil consumption rate can rapidly increase and there is no way to know when it will suddenly just run out of oil. It is a bit scary to drive without the oil indicator gauge that most vehicles have. Toyota is repairing customers vehicles for free through limited service campaign for the 2az-fe engines, the same as in the ct200h.lexus will not take ownership of this problem and assist customers in getting this known problem fixed.
Excessive oil consumption.i purchased the car january 7, 2021 and checked the oil on march 15, 2021 before a long trip and the oil didn't even register on the dipstick. I followed procedure before and up to checking the oil.i checked it when it was delivered and it was at the appropriate level.
My car also experienced a high amount of oil consumption. At first i assumed it was due to my traveling, but when i monitored it was more than normal. Additionally, about a year ago i was told that the car would need a head gasket replacement. When i spoke to the dealership and other mechanics they found that to be odd concerning the reputation of lexus. So after the engine started rattling, which i've never had happen before and now the vehicle is inoperable. Many people have told me to reach out to lexus because what happen to my car is unheard of, but i got no resolution anywhere.
Took my car to toyota dealership.they said my car is burning oil.i have noticed my oil does burn up quickly, smells like gas upon the dipstick, i have seen no oil leaks.the dealership said they have seen this same issue with other similar models like in the prius.my car only has 82,000 miles.i baby this car and take for all the appropriate maintenance.this is very upsetting.
Several claims of shutter resulting in low power when leaving a stop. Because the engine turns off entering ev mode. In the corse of 20 seconds the car without notice until taking off entering ice engine operation a massive shutter happens that when lots of forward power. This is an issue when no issues noted waiting to cross intersection or pulling into traffic without warning.
2012 lexus ct200h (now is 84k miles)is burning bad...i been searching on google and find out a lot of similar issues on ct200h burning oil...i try to contact the dealership, but no reply so far...the engine started burning oil at 60k miles...
High oil consumption. I have to add a quart of oil every 1000 miles
I experience the engine have burn so much oil between service (10k miles).i had contact the dealership, and they haven't contacted me back yet... The oil burning is start when my car is about 70k .... Now my vehicle is 92k miles i have at least3qzt between service....
Complete loss of power in both the gas engine and in the hybrid electric engine while going 70 mph,both the alarm systems-audible and dash went off. With no power i was able to get off the highway without crashing the car.
Before the backup camera is displayed, the screen rises from the dash board andsays "lexus' for 5 seconds and "enform" for 5 seconds.in march, i backed into a maintenance vehicle which came up after i got in my car and was not visible with my mirrors. This would not happened with any other brand.the dealer says it cannot be changed and gave me a repair estimate for $927. This is a very dangerous situation and defeats the purpose of the camera. The display serves no purpose, and the cars should be recalled to correct this problem.
Driving uphill on a dirt road @ ~ 20mph. Gas engine running at the time.fairly steep grade.~6% grade uphill. Car started to accelerate at a rate i would compare to merging onto a highway. Was unsure of what was going on at first so i didn't actually hit the brakes for about 5 seconds at which point i was already at 45mph. The four passengers in my car were very confused. We checked the floor mat for any obstructions and that it was operating correctly and it was. I shut the car off, waited a month nite then turned it back on. Immediately as i let off the brake the car accelerated up the hill. This time i only allowed it to get up to 15mph before stopping the vehicle. The brake was acting against the engine propelling the car. Brake application did not disengage the engine from trying to move the car forward. I even put my toes under the pedal to try and lift the accelerator making sure it wasn't mechanical error. Zero movement, the pedal was in place. After having lexus "analyze" my vehicle they call me back and tell me "we can't find anything wrong with it" and that also they did not update any computers or reset anything or swap out my battery. They expected me to come pick up my car within the week or they said they would report their loaner car stolen and i would be charged for it. My only option given was to get back into my vehicle. My suspicion is my batter allowed itself to overcharge while driving down long stretches of mountain roads and then was not being drained on the strenuous uphill sections. This overcharge appeared in the form of ultra engine assist which i experienced within 1 mile of starting my car after a 4 hour hike.

The seat belt buckle button will jam occasionally causing the seat belt to be difficult to remove or secure into place.

2012 lexus ct200h has the same brake booster, assembly issue all 3rd generation toyota prius's have. The abs/brake system lights all come in, and brake functionality is limited. Attached is a scan of the issue, i have since called lexus and notified them of the issue.
The center console lid will not close because the lever is stuck in the position to open the lid.
The passenger side glass on my 2012 ct exploded for no particular reason a few days ago. I was on the highway doing about 65 mph and i suddenly heard a loud 'boom' and the side window was gone... Completely gone. Nothing hit my car, no rocks, no bullets... No bricks. There was no one beside me and i was on i-81. Had i over-reacted, i could have crashed the car. Had there been a passenger in the seat, she would have been severely cut from the flying glass shards at 65 mph. I experienced cuts on my right hand and arm.lexus, in a completely disappointing show of customer "service" is refusing to pay for it under warranty.i am not the only one with a ct that has had this happen. Do a google search and you'll find a few other cases on other forums.i point you to this wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spontaneous_glass_breakage) which clearly states this phenomenon is due to manufacturing defects in the glass. I suggested that lexus corporate send the glass back to the vendor for analysis and they refused! they simply could care less.i will never buy another toyota product again and i warn all readers to be very careful.
The contact owns a 2012 lexus ct 200h. The contact stated that while driving 2 mph, the vehicle traveled over a curb and the knuckle of the lower control arm became fractured. The contact stated that the metal did not appear to be heat treated properly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and he was still awaiting a final decision on whether it was a defect or not. The manufacturer was notified and stated that they would further investigate. The failure and current mileage was 3,942.

Another ct200h driver reported a problem with the center console lid not closing properly due to the latch stuck in the open position.same issue on my 2012 ct200h.would be nice on a lexus to have that problem researched and fixed... And let lexus pay for the repair, not the owner. Problems of this typeare more characteristic of economy vehicles... Is lexus an economy car?????

Driving between 45-55 mph on us-52, there was a sudden loud noise and instant change in wind noise.looking in the rear view mirror, dark debris was seen falling to the ground.after pulling over and opening the internal sunroof cover, a sizable hole was missing from the glass, with the glass pushing out toward the sky.there were no vehichles in front or behind me, nor any vehicles passing at the time of the incident.the weather was partly cloudy all day with temperatures in the low to mid 70's.
While driving into work on highway 98 between new augusta, ms, and hattiesburg, ms, this morning, my back side window exploded. I thought it was a gunshot because of the sound, but no bullet was found. There was no traffic. There were two men waiting for me to pass so they could pull across the interstate and they stopped to help me. They were a witness that there was no traffic, no way for a rock to have been thrown from a passing vehicle. The window simply exploded. It must have been a window defect. I understand that there have been other complaints. Had my grandson been in the backseat, i can't even think about how it would have hurt him.
