The United States quartet of Trayvon Bromell, Fred Kerley, Ronnie Baker and Cravon Gillespie were sixth in their heat with a time of 38.10 seconds.
"The USA team did everything wrong in the men's relay," said Lewis.
"The passing system is wrong, athletes running the wrong legs, and it was clear that there was no leadership."
China won the heat in 37.92, with Canada second - just two thousands of a second behind - and Italy third in 37.95 as they qualified for the final.
Germany (38.06) were fourth and Ghana (38.08) fifth as they also finished ahead of the US in their heat.
