STEERING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-10
- VIN: 2T2ZK1BA4AC
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: When parked and turning the steering wheel or driving at low speed you hear a clunk / clunck noise vehicle makes knocking noises as it jumps up and down (bumpy) or vibrates when driving You can also feel it in your hands. Also it rattles and makes noises when turning. It feels like there is no lubrication. The drive feels not only unstable but also is very distractive while driving. Took car to Lexus and was told it is steering column or shaft or both; quote around $4000 with labor. Seems like a lot of people had same problems and the steering is manufacturing defect that should be recalled as a safety concern.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-02-05
- VIN: JTJBC1BA2A2
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: The transmission to oil cooler hose erupted!! Oil was sprayed everywhere along highways. Destroying environment This is an environmental safety issue. As well as a vehicle killer. It is a well documented problem with Toyota and lexus vehicles. Just Google it. Many have been recalled. This is a serious design flaw. The government needs to address this. Every mechanic is stunned at how ridiculous it was to use rubber instead of metal. Toyota/ Lexus needs to recall all vehicles snd repair this. And reimburse those who already fixed them or lost their vehicles. One mechanic said this could result in vehicle fires I realize my vehicle is old. But this is an ongoing issue with multiple years involved. Thank you

UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-08
- VIN: JTJBC1BA4A2
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: There is a known issue in the form of a Warranty Policy Bulletin and I believe a recall in Canada for a faulty engine oil cooler line that was made of rubber and fails under heat (now replaced by metal lines). This happened to my daughter after a hot day and she pulled away from the driveway the next day. Almost all of the oil leaked out and we stopped the car and had it towed to a Lexus dealership. When it was inspected, it was confirmed this was the issue, and there was a noise in the engine. I have a concern that further engine problems may have resulted in a loose bearing needing compete replacement. This has yet to be confirmed, but seems consistent with the many discussion boards that mention this exact issue.

- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: Abs actuator failure causing wheels to lock up in wet conditions along with loss of control..I nearly crashed into pedestrians when it failed. suddenly check abs light came on along with abs system malfunction...I could've been killed or killed someone. lexus will not cover the repair though they did for customers under 50k miles and under warranty which is completely criminal.

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-03-06
- VIN: JTJZB1BA7A2
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: In about 2016, ABS light went on and I took it for repair at an independent auto shop for $400. A few months later,received a notice from Lexus of ABS issues so after speaking to Lexus, USA and sending a copy of receipt,I received a credit for having already paid to fix it. Fast forward to feb 2023 and ABS, brake,etc..lights all go on. Received estimate from Southbay lexus for over $5200 to fix Abs actuator assembly and hoses and pump kit, etc.. Found out today online after turning it in for repair at Lexus Southbay that there was primary coverage and secondary coverage offered for this exact issue and a safety/recall letter was supposed to be sent out starting in 9/2020 to owners of Lexus 2010-2012 RX450H vehicles. I never received that letter, so I missed that deadline to receive an inspection/service. Was I and my family in danger? After basic coverage expired at 48k miles, Primary coverage expired in 12/31/21 and secondary expired for owners of 10 yrs or 150k miles or less whichever comes first for this exact issue. I don’t drive much, especially since Covid started so my 2010 Lexus as of today only has only 73,124 miles. Less than 1/2 of 150k miles for secondary miles. I was never informed that there would further issues with ABS SYSTEM nor this extra primary and secondary coverage was available.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-09-08
- VIN: 2t2bk1ba4ac
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: We were 2 hours into a 9 hour drive when I noticed smoke in the rear view mirror. I continued to drive as I thought it may have been coming from another vehicle. I drove to the nearest gas station (about 3 mi) and pulled in. Upon exiting the vehicle, we found the back window and the entire back of the SUV covered in oil. There were no warning lights and no engine noises. We checked the oil and it was so low that it did not register on the dip stick. We added 2 quarts of oil which then registered on the tip of the dip stick. We then added another quart of oil and drove to a nearby service station (1/2 mi). The mechanic could not diagnose the problem since he couldn't put it on his lift (it was occupied by another vehicle). He contacted two other service stations in the area and found one less than a mile away that had a lift open. We added 2 more quarts of oil and drove to the next service station. The mechanic put the vehicle on the lift and quickly found the problem - a pin hole in the oil line. He was able to find a replacement part (not the original part as it had been discontinued) and get us up and running the same day. We were very fortunate that I noticed the smoke - if I had not noticed it and continued to drive (we were 10 minutes from driving over a bridge tunnel) it could have been catastrophic. We finished the 7 additional hours of driving that day and after being gone for a week, have now returned home (another 9 hours). The mechanic told me the part had been recalled, but when I searched this sight, I found lots of similar reports - but no recall. Coincidentally, I had had the oil changed 4 days before beginning this trip. It is surprising that there are so many reports of this incident, but no recall by Lexus.

ENGINE,ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-08-17
- VIN: 2T2BK1BA7AC
- Components: ENGINE,ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
- Summary: Driving along normally, started seeing a flashing "low oil pressure warning". Within seconds, engine started revving uncontrollably and would not make power. Was able to coast into a parking lot. On dipstick inspection, engine had lost ALL engine oil and entire car was covered in oil. Suspect that oil spilled out at some point on the road- danger to other cars. Vehicle was towed to local dealer, diagnosed as a blown oil cooler pipe, causes all engine oil to spray out in seconds. This is a known problem, addressed in Lexus Technical Service Bulletin L-SB-0154-11 and a recalled part in Canada, but not in the US. Factory part is a rubber oil line that deteriorates and bursts, Lexus has an upgraded medal line available. Service invoice can be updated once service completed if needed.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-06-28
- VIN: 2T2BK1BA8AC
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Oil cooler high pressure line, rubber elbow, pin hole oil leak/spray. TSB: POL.14.02 (NHTSA: 10056509). Leaked oil out with check engine light/low oil pressure warning just as I arrived home. Line of oil in driveway. Diagnosed leak from this rubber elbow. One quart of oil left in oil pan. After review of NHTSA website (and many, many Google hits) found this to be a well known problen by Lexus. No recall ever issued. I never received written notice from Lexus, and dealership that vehicle has been to many times never mentioned anything. Lexus denies any extended warranty at this time. Absolutely unacceptable.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-06-30
- VIN: 2T2BK1BA9AC
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Oil cooler line, rubber elbow potential failure. No notice letter from Lexus received warning of their TSB: POL.14.02 (NHTSA#: 10056509). Voluntary extended warranty coverage is expired now and no support from Lexus offered. Rubber elbow cannot be simply replaced as the newly desigend replacement is a metal elbow. Entire assembly must be replaced. Extremely expensive. Unacceptable for a flaw to endanger the engine, and possibly to cause a fire with oil spray onto a hot engine/exhaust.

The contact pulled over and called her brother for assistance. Upon inspection, the contact's brother discovered that there was no oil in the vehicle, even though the vehicle had received an oil change five days prior. The contact called the local dealer who offered to tow the vehicle to the dealer to be inspected. The contact declined the tow, and instead had the vehicle towed to Lexus of Pleasanton (4345 Rosewood Dr, Pleasanton, CA 94588) where the mechanic discovered that the engine oil cooler pipe was fractured. The contact discovered an unknown recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the Vin was not under recall or warranty.

The owner of the vehicle when into the dealership asking the dealership to set tire pressures and inspect floor mats for proper installation, they performed an inspection and inflated the tires. The owner went in and stated that the check hybrid system warning light is on. Oil pump range/performance. NOTE: no road test performed. Possible additional work needed. Transmission oil pump inoperable due to metal in fluid shorting the pump. The dealership took a fluid sample. They had found lots of metal particles present in the fluid.

I've owned two Acura MDXs and was hesitant to purchase a Lexus RX 350 AWD due to some negative reviews. However, I'm happy to report that this SUV is excellent! It drives very well and is incredibly comfortable. While it doesn't get the same gas mileage as a car, it's still a lot better than the MDX. I've already put 780 miles on it with zero issues and I absolutely love it. This particular model has everything I wanted and more.

My family has owned many Lexus vehicles, but this is my first. In my opinion, this is the best-looking crossover available. However, the interior design is underwhelming. The plastic doors and unfriendly center console in the front seat detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the power outlets are inconveniently located at the bottom of the console, making it difficult to add or remove my cell phone charger. Despite five trips to the dealership, the backseat continues to make an awful squeaking noise. The light tan leather seats are beautiful, but they are easily stained by blue dye from jeans. Furthermore, this model does not have exterior door guards, making it susceptible to dings. Overall, while there are some areas for improvement, this Lexus is still a top-performing crossover.

Traded in my 07 RX for 2010. I'm thrilled that Lexus has made the best crossover SUV even better. I've only had this car for a week, but I already love driving it everywhere. On the first tank, I'm already getting 23 mpg. The interior is miles better than the previous model, and it feels more upscale. The technology in this car is the best, and the remote mouse is great and easy to use. I love the smart access. You can't go wrong with this car.
-
This is my 3rd RX, and it's definitely the best one yet. I loved my RX300, but unfortunately, my 2008 RX350 was a disappointment. I'm so glad to be rid of it and driving this car is an absolute dream. It's beautiful inside and out. I don't understand all the negative reviews, this car is totally undeserving of them. The ride is so smooth, and this model is 10 times quieter than my 2008. It feels much more substantial and the cabin is more luxurious. I have no complaints at all. I actually like the new center console, it gives the interior a more wrap-around feel. Who wants all those power adapters visible anyway? I'm glad they are out of sight. I love this vehicle, it's of great quality. Good job Lexus!

Are you having problems with your Lexus Rx350 2010?

I've had my 2010 RX 350 for about 4 months now and unfortunately, I've had to go back to the dealership 5 times for 3 different defects on the new model. These include Navigation, A/C and Radio problems, which all have TSB's issued by Lexus now. Additionally, I've experienced some exterior defects, such as the driver side bumper popping out of place during long drives due to wind damage. While it's frustrating to have to wait until my next service appointment to have it checked out, I'm hopeful that the dealership will be able to resolve these issues. Despite these setbacks, I still appreciate the quality and luxury that Lexus offers.

The car is great overall, with reliability being a major selling point for me. However, there are a few minor areas where Lexus has missed the mark. For example, the swing-out pockets on each front door are not very practical as the contents tend to spill out when the pocket is opened. Additionally, the dash-mounted cup holder is not very versatile and can only hold cups. The center console lid also doesn't fully open, making it difficult to access items inside. The overhead switches for interior lights and garage door openers are flush, which can make them difficult to locate by touch alone. The voice commands for Bluetooth phone can also be challenging to use. Finally, the climate control system can be a bit confusing to operate. However, despite these minor issues, I still find the car to be a great choice. I do have some concerns about the compact spare tire that comes with the car, as it has a top speed of only 55 mph and can be dangerous on western state freeways. Additionally, the full-sized flat tire will not fit in the space occupied by the compact spare in the trunk, which can be inconvenient. Overall, I would still recommend this car to others.I understand that many other cars may use compact spares, but for a luxury vehicle, I would expect more attention to detail. Additionally, I believe that a premium car should come with a better audio system, and if an optional premium audio system is offered, it should be considered. While the car is comfortable, drives well, and handles nicely, it can be a bit bouncy when going around corners with bumps in the road. Since my last review, I have not warmed up to the interior due to the many little annoyances that add up to my dissatisfaction with owning the car. For example, the door pocket was slightly open and snagged my pants cuff, and the seat pockets on the back of the driver and passenger side barely open and have hard covers that are uncomfortable against the knees of back seat passengers. The rear seat door pockets virtually hold nothing but a small water bottle. My first RX was a 99, and it was the best car I've ever owned, far superior to the 2010 RX. The smooth ride of the 99 RX-300 was a dream, and the A/C system was flawless. The center console did not extend to the dash, but had two roomy slide-out drawers. I am due to buy another car this year, and while the RX is still on my list, I will also take a look at the GX. If it doesn't fit the bill, I will consider other brands of cars. The only selling point for me with another Lexus is that in 20 years of driving Lexus cars, I've only had one significant mechanical failure. Update: I sold my previous car and bought a new RX 350L. While many annoyances have been solved, some still remain, and the spare tire is still a total failure. However, I like it better than the 2010 model.

I have noticed several issues with my wife's car. Firstly, the front right bumper has been popping out since we purchased the car. Despite our claims that we did not damage it, the dealership has been unhelpful. Additionally, accessing the charger can be quite difficult, if not impossible. The controls for the seat heaters are also not easily accessible. Furthermore, changing the trip computer while driving is impossible as the controls are obscured by the steering wheel. Lastly, we have noticed that the general quality of materials used in the car is poor. The plastic trim in the rear hatch scratches easily even with normal use, resulting in many scratches and abrasions. The materials used are less durable than those used in BMW or Land Rover.

When we ordered our 2010 RX, we were assured that it would come from Japan, just like all of our previous 5 Lexus'. However, when the Canada-manufactured RX arrived, the dealer was surprised. Despite this, we decided to take the car. Unfortunately, the front bumper popped off right at the headlights after only 100 miles. We returned to the dealer and they initially wanted to charge us to repair the damage, but after some discussion, they fixed it free of charge. Now, at 2000 miles, the bumper is completely loose again, just from normal driving. We are currently waiting for Lexus Customer Service to respond. Additionally, the hood, door, and car body are not aligned, and the build quality is poor. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your VIN starts with J. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share some feedback on the recent changes made to the engineering of the car. I've noticed that some of the buttons, such as the temperature and stereo volume, are smaller than what I'm used to in the 2005RX. I was wondering if there was a specific reason for this change? Additionally, I noticed that the auto-close button on the hatch and the glovebox are also smaller. I was also surprised to see that the rack on the roof is gray on a black car. I was wondering if there was a reason for this color choice? Lastly, I found that the joystick control on the NAV system is not as easy to use as just pressing your finger. Have you considered making any changes to this feature? Thank you for your time and consideration!
