Common problems & what to inspect
Based on 16 owner complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2014 Lexus gs350, here are the most-reported problem areas — and exactly what to check before you buy.
💥 5 involved a crash 🚑 2 reported injuries
🔍 Steering should be tight and centered — no play, clunks or wandering. Test at low and highway speed; listen for power-steering whine.
🔍 Have a trusted mechanic inspect this system as part of a pre-purchase inspection.
🔍 Check for fuel or battery warnings, hard starts and stalling. On a hybrid/EV, confirm charging and range behave normally.
🔍 Test every electrical feature: windows, locks, infotainment, charging and all lights. Watch for flickering, dead accessories or warning lights.
🔍 Brakes should feel firm and quiet — no grinding, pulsing or pulling. Check for an ABS light and uneven pad/rotor wear.
🔍 Listen for knocks or ticking, check for leaks and blue/white exhaust smoke, and make sure it doesn't overheat. No check-engine light should be on.
Pre-purchase checklist
- Match the VIN on the dash, door jamb and title — they must be identical.
- Cold-start the engine; listen for knocks and check for blue or white exhaust smoke.
- Test-drive through all gears at low and highway speed — no slipping, shudder or pulling.
- Confirm every warning light clears at startup (none should stay on).
- Check fluids — oil, coolant, transmission — for level, color and leaks.
- Look underneath for rust, fresh undercoating or signs of collision repair.
- Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic.

I PURCHASED A USED 2014 LEXUS GS350 F-SPORT IN LATE 2019. NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASE I ALWAYS NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NEVER STRAIGHT, SEEMED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT AND WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD FEEL AS IF IT STICKS A LITTLE TO THAT POSITION AND WHEN TRYING TO ALIGN THE CAR TO THE LANE, I HAVE TO USE A LITTLE STRENGTH JUST FOR T…

NHTSA ODI #11325710ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS STOPPED WORKING WITHIN A WEEK JUST AFTER 65,000 MILES. THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHERS OUT THERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THIS GENERATION GS350. HOPE TO SEE LEXUS RECALL TO MAINTAIN QUALITY AND RELIABILITY REPUTATION. THE REPAIR COSTS ARE VERY UNREASONABLE.
NHTSA ODI #11182651ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING. THEY FAILED WITHIN DAYS AT 60,000 MILES. COST TO REPLACE BY DEALER IS PROHIBITIVE. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THS IS A COMMON ISSUE BRAND WISE.
