Is 17 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2019 and 2026, roughly 2 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2016 has 17 complaints on file, fewer than the 2015 (26) and more than the 2017 (11). Of the 11 model years of the Lexus NX we cover, the 2024 has the most (45). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
