2007 LEXUS RX Complaints

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AN INDOOR GARAGE FOR 10 YEARS. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED EVERY 3000 MILES FOR 10 YEARS.

ENGINE OIL WAS POURING OUT OF MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE ENGINE OIL COOLER LINE WAS LEAKING. IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE UNDERCARRIAGE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS IF I WAS NOT ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY GET THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP.

2007 LEXUS RX 350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD THROUGH 2 SMALL TREES. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP. THE CONSUMER GAVE AUTHORIZATIONS FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 07/06/2017*JS ..UPDATED 08/30/17 *BF *JS

1.TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTEDLY COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. CAR JUMPED FORWARD AND COMPLETELY STOPPED ON THE FAST LANE. I HAD TO CALL FOR TOWING. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT MECHANIC SHOP. HAPPEN IN NOVEMBER 2016 2. OIL SHOOTING FROM THE BROKEN HOSE CLOSE TO THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. STOPPED CAR AND CALL FOR TOWING. REPLACEMENT OF HOSE COMPLETED AT MECHANIC SHOP. HAPPEN IN 2014. REIMBURSED BY MANUFACTURER. 3. RANDOM FLASHING OF AIR BAG LIGHTS (DRIVER) WITHOUT ANY REASON. LOOKS LIKE SOME SENSOR/ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. HAPPENING NOW.

THE RACK AND PINION IS LEAKING FLUID (ATF IS USED FOR POWER STEERING) FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DUST BOOT INDICATING A WORN OUT SEAL AT ONLY 70,000 MILES. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM AT A SUBSTANTIAL COST. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN DEFECT WITH THIS RACK AND PINION SYSTEM BECAUSE I HAVE OTHER VEHICLES WITH WELL OVER 200 K MILES AND NO PROBLEMS.

INTERMITTENT HESITATION OF THE TRANSMISSION. PUT IN GEAR (FORWARD OR REVERSE) AND VEHICLE WON'T MOVE. REV UP ENGINE AND IT SURGES-JERKS FORWARD OR REVERSE.

APRIL 11,2017 TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A LEAK IN THE POWER STEERING RACK. COST $1800. NO WARNING.

RECALL OF SE UNITED STATES ON DASHBOARD FOR LEXUS RX350. LETTER PROMISED FIXING IT 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. TOOK 100 MILES TO DEALERSHIP THEY DETERMINED IT WAS CRACKING AND FALLING OFF DUE TO YOUR RECALL. WAITING ON DASH TO COME IN. 2 1/2 YEARS RIDICULOUS!!!!

CRACKING AND MELTING DASHBOARD CREATING NOXIOUS FUMES IN VEHICLE. IN LATE 2015, WE NOTICED THAT OUR LEXUS RX400H'S DASHBOARD BEGAN FORMING CRACKS. WHILE WE INITIALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A COSMETIC ISSUE, SOON THE DASHBOARD BEGAN MELTING AND STINKING UP THE CAR. WHEN WE BROUGHT IT TO OUR LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP FOR INVESTIGATION (LEXUS OF KENDALL), WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM RECENTLY LAUNCHED TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. WE WERE PLACED ON THE WAITING LIST TO GET A NEW DASHBOARD AND WERE TOLD WE WERE #1 IN FEBRUARY 2016. WE HAVE SOMEHOW MOVED TO #2 ON THEIR LIST AND HAVE SEEN NO PROGRESS ON LEXUS REPLACING OUR DASHBOARD. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU CALL THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AND ASK TO ORDER ONE THEY CLAIM IT WILL ARRIVE IN 5-7 BUSINESS DAYS. THAT SEEMS UNFAIR. SINCE THE INITIAL OBSERVATION, THE SMELL OF THE CRACKED/MELTED DASH HAS BECOME OVERWHELMING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S HOT OUT. WE ARE HESITANT TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THESE FUMES.

MY DASHBOARD IS TERRIBLY CRACKED AND IT'S VERY SHINY. IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING ON THE SUN
