Safety & Tech Synergy

Common Problem

TL;DR
The Lexus LC is generally reliable but can face issues such as transmission problems, squeaky rubber seals, and expensive repairs for certain components. The drivetrain is robust, but expect high maintenance costs typical of luxury vehicles.
Transmission and Mechanical Issues
Some owners have reported significant mechanical issues with the Lexus LC, particularly with the transmission. A user mentioned needing a new transmission after just 37,000 miles due to harsh shifting, which was covered under warranty. This issue seems to be more prevalent in earlier models (2017-2018), suggesting improvements may have been made in later versions.
Rubber Seals and Squeaks
Another common complaint involves the quality of rubber seals, which tend to squeak when windows are rolled wet or doors are closed after rain. This issue appears to be consistent with other Toyota vehicles, indicating it might be a broader problem across the brand.
Costly Repairs and Maintenance
While the LC is praised for its build quality, some parts can be very expensive to repair or replace. For instance, replacing a glove compartment system can cost around $3,500. Additionally, bodywork is costly due to the use of reinforced fiber materials and large panels. Tires and brakes are also on the pricier side, with tires costing up to $2,200 for a full set.
Reliability and Longevity
Despite these issues, the LC's drivetrain, particularly the 5.0 V8 engine, is noted for its reliability and performance. Owners expect longevity similar to older Lexus models, although the increased complexity of modern vehicles could introduce more potential points of failure.
Market Perception and Comparisons
The LC500 is often compared to sports cars, though it's designed more as a grand tourer prioritizing comfort over outright performance. Its unique market position means it doesn't sell as well as some competitors, partly because buyers at this price point might prefer brands with stronger performance reputations. However, it remains a highly regarded choice for those valuing style and daily driving comfort.
