Lexus NX Lemon Law

Yes. If your NX's T24A-FTS turbo engine repeatedly enters limp mode due to a warranty-covered defect and the dealer cannot repair it after a reasonable number of attempts, you likely have a valid claim under the Song-Beverly Act. Limp mode is considered a substantial impairment of use and safety.

Yes. The Song-Beverly Act covers any defect in a new vehicle that is protected under the manufacturer's warranty, including hybrid components such as the ECVT transaxle and high-voltage battery pack. If Lexus cannot fix the issue after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a replacement or refund.

You should file your claim while the vehicle is still within the manufacturer's original warranty period, typically 4 years or 50,000 miles for Lexus. However, the statute of limitations under the Song-Beverly Act is four years from the date you first discovered or should have discovered the defect.

California law does not require you to participate in the manufacturer's arbitration program before filing a Lemon Law lawsuit. While Lexus may offer their dispute resolution program, you have the right to decline and proceed directly with a Song-Beverly Act claim in court. An attorney can help you determine the best path forward.
