2022 Lexus RX
This year drew an ordinary 40 complaints for a Lexus RX — the model's median is 0. What they were about is the unusual part: 7.5% of them mention huge, against 0% across the model's other years.
Last year of its generation. This Lexus RX ran from 2016 to 2022, so it had the whole run for its faults to be found and fixed. Last years are usually the most sorted of a generation.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Lexus RX was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
