Common Problems With Lexus RZ

As of my knowledge cut-off date in October 2023, the Lexus RZ is a relatively new addition to Lexus’s lineup, specifically marked as an electric vehicle (EV). While detailed long-term reviews and comprehensive reports might still be forthcoming, some issues typical to new vehicle releases or those observed in early adopter testimonials have been noted. Below are some potential problems that could be encountered with the Lexus RZ. Note that as the vehicle has not had as much time on the market as others, these observations may evolve with further consumer feedback and extended road tests.

#### Battery Performance and Range Concerns

One common issue noted with electric vehicles, including early reports about the Lexus RZ, concerns the actual driving range compared to what’s advertised. Some users have reported discrepancies between the expected and actual mileage per charge, influenced by factors such as driving style, terrain, and temperature. This could be a critical factor for consumers prioritizing an exact range estimation.

#### Charging Infrastructure Compatibility

Another issue affecting EVs, including the RZ, is charging infrastructure compatibility. Owners have found challenges in locating convenient and compatible charging stations, especially concerning the fast-charging network. Ownership experience may typically vary based on geographic location and the availability of charging networks.

#### Initial Software Glitches

When new automotive models are launched, it’s common for early adopters to encounter software bugs. Some Lexus RZ owners have reported initial glitches with the infotainment system or driver assistance features, which may require software updates or dealer visits for resolution.

#### Build and Material Quality

While Lexus is known for its quality, some RZ owners have reported that the materials used in the interior and certain build aspects may not feel as premium as expected in some areas of the vehicle. This could contribute to an unsatisfactory ownership experience, primarily for those accustomed to the standard Lexus luxury.

#### Regenerative Braking Sensitivity

The regenerative braking system designed to extend range and efficiency has been noted to be somewhat aggressive in the Lexus RZ. Drivers unfamiliar with this system might take a period to adjust, and it can affect the driving dynamics if not well-calibrated to driver expectations.

Please note that specific issues and their prevalence might differ as the car continues to be driven in varied conditions by a broader user base. Current observations are based on the initial reports and might not be representative once the vehicle has been widely used for more extended periods and miles.

Understanding California Lemon Law for Lexus RZ Owners

The California Lemon Law offers protection to Lexus RZ owners when their vehicle repeatedly suffers from issues that cannot be resolved after a reasonable number of attempts by the dealership’s repair facility.

  2. Maintain Repair Orders: Collect copies of all repair orders and invoices. These documents should outline the diagnostics performed, repairs attempted, and any parts replaced. Each entry should clearly state if the issue was resolved.
  3. Track Repairs and Communications: Note every interaction with the service department, ensuring you have records of conversations or written communications regarding repairs. If applicable, include emails or texts.
  4. Notify the Manufacturer: Formally report the persistent issues to Lexus. A written notification can be crucial in establishing that the manufacturer is aware of the ongoing problems.

What Vehicles are Covered?

The California Lemon Law covers a diverse array of vehicles, ensuring that consumers are protected regardless of the type of vehicle they purchase or lease. This includes:

  • New vehicles purchased or leased in California
  • Recreational vehicles (RVs)
  • Vans
  • Trucks
  • Motorcycles
  • Certain business vehicles

To qualify, the vehicle must be registered in California within 12 months of its original delivery and must have a “non-conformity” that substantially impairs its use, value, or safety. This comprehensive coverage ensures that whether you’re driving a family car, a work truck, or an RV, you have legal recourse if your vehicle turns out to be a lemon.

Lexus RZ FAQs

You’ve probably heard the term lemon discussed and know that you are protected under the California Lemon Law, but you might not know the exact details of the law. The California Lemon Law is actually a group of laws that fall under the umbrella of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. When signed into law in 1970, the act required all manufacturers to repurchase or replace defective items which could not be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts. The California Lemon Law applies to many different consumer products, but it most often applies to vehicles. Song-Beverly doesn’t require a specific number of repair attempts for motor vehicles, but it provides the following criteria for determining whether a new vehicle is a lemon:

If the following occurs within 18 months of purchase or lease or before the vehicle has 18,000 miles on its odometer, the law presumes the vehicle is a lemon:

  • The manufacturer or its agents (typically a dealership) have tried to repair a dangerous or deadly warranty issue two or more times.
  • The manufacturer or dealership has tried to fix the same warranty issue four or more times.
  • The vehicle has spent an aggregate total of 30 days in the shop for warranty problems.
  • Warranty issues are not a result of abuse, and they substantially reduce the use, value, or safety of the vehicle to the owner.

The California Lemon Law also applies to used vehicles under warranty by the manufacturer or the dealer. If you suspect your vehicle is a lemon, your attorney will guide you through the process and advise you on what parts of the Lemon Law apply to your individual situation. The Lemon Law covers the following new and used vehicles sold or leased in California:

  • Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans
  • The chassis, chassis cab, and drivetrain of an RV or motorhome
  • Dealer-owned vehicles and demo cars
  • Business vehicles
  • Personal vehicles

You aren’t required to have an attorney to make a California Lemon Law claim, but Lexus manufacturers and dealers are faster to respond if you do, and you are more likely to get a positive outcome if you have a lawyer in your corner. Here are some of the ways in which Lemon Law Associates of California can help you with your Lexus RZ claim:

  • Deadlines. Filing a claim and handling communication with all of the involved parties during the process involves meeting many deadlines. Manufacturers will use missing these deadlines as grounds to deny your claim. We will make sure you meet any deadlines associated with your claim.
  • Eligibility. Not all defects are protected under the Lemon Law. Your attorney will verify your eligibility under California law.
  • Expertise. Our firm focuses exclusively on Lemon Law claims, so we have in-depth knowledge to answer your questions and guide you through the claims process.
  • Client service. We prioritize client service by providing exceptional representation and keeping you abreast of developments in your case. We also pride ourselves on our availability and accessibility.
  • Advocacy. We advocate for your rights against automakers and dealers to make sure that you secure justice.
  • Save time and money. You’ve already spent a great deal of money on a vehicle that is new to you. Dealing with a lemon costs additional time and money. In many cases, we can resolve your case quickly, without going to trial, so you can go about life as usual.

The California Lemon Law covers a wide range of vehicles, which includes all Lexus vehicles. The law applies to both new and used vehicles, as long as they are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty.

If your Lemon Law case is successful, you could be entitled to a refund of your purchase price or lease payments, a replacement vehicle, or another form of compensation. The specifics depend on the details of your case and the applicable laws.

Starting the process is easy. You can begin by contacting us through our website or by phone. Our team will review the details of your case, discuss your options, and guide you through the necessary steps to initiate your Lemon Law claim.

While it’s possible to pursue a Lemon Law claim without legal representation, manufacturers often have experienced legal teams on their side. Having a skilled Lemon Law attorney increases your chances of securing a favorable outcome and ensuring your rights are protected throughout the process.

Lexus Lemon-Law Attorneys With Experience

Lemon Law Associates of California specializes in helping consumers recover expenses or damages related to their Lexus and Lexus RZ lemon vehicles under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Civil Code Section 1790 et seq.). A vehicle is considered a “Lemon” if a defect or “nonconformity” substantially impairs its use, value, and/or safety. This Act covers not only cars but also motorcycles if street legal, RV chassis, and motor homes’ propulsion parts.

If Lexus fails to repair the vehicle after a sufficient number of attempts, as determined by the type of problem and unique circumstances, the consumer may be eligible for a full buyback (repurchase) or a replacement of the lemon vehicle. Additionally, the Act offers a replacement remedy for other consumer goods like boats, travel trailers, or 5th wheels.
