2007 LEXUS RX350 Complaints

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM ON MY 2007 LEXUS RX350 IS ON ALL THE TIME CAN'T BE RESET. STILL ONLY HAD 29K MILE ON THE ORIGINAL TIRES. I KNOW TOYOTA WAS RECALL SOME SUV FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT, MY LEXUS IS NOT ON THE LIST. *TR

MY LEXUS 2007 RX 350 HAS HEAVY WATER CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE THAT IS CAUSING MY HEADLIGHTS TO FLICKER AND SHUT OFF. REPEATED CALLS TO LEXUS CUSTOMER CARE HAS NOT RESULTED IN ANYTHING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND GOT THEIR VEHICLE INSPECTOR TO INSPECT AND GOT A DETAILED REPORT ENDORSING MY COMPLAINT THAT IT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE LEXUS HEADLIGHT DESIGN THAT ALLOWS HEAVY WATER CONDENSATION CAUSING MY HEADLIGHTS TO BLOW UP. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE WAY LEXUS PEOPLE ARE BEHAVING AND THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT AFTER YOU BUY AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM OF THEIRS IS DIRECTLY PUTTING ME AND OTHER FELLOW MOTORISTS UNDER RISK. *LN

I HAD PUSHED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR ON THE UNIT. I BEGAN LOADING ITEMS IN THE REAR WHEN THE DOOR CAME DOWN STRIKING ME IN THE HEAD. THE DOOR CONTINUED TO LOWER AFTER HITTING ME THE DOOR HAS OPENED BY THE BUTTON AND THEN CLOSED BY ITSELF ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS. NO ONE WAS INJURED FROM PREVIOUS CLOSINGS.

AT APPROX. 8:05 AM ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2ND I WAS STOPPED BEHIND A SCHOOL BUS THAT WAS PICKING UP CHILDREN AT THE INTERSECTION (1-2) MIN WAIT) I GAVE THE CAR ENOUGH GAS TO MAKE THE RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO CROCKERS LAKE BLVD. WHICH IS ONLY APPROX. 150-200 FT IN LENGTH. I ESTIMATE THE SPEED WAS BETWEEN 10-15 MPH WHEN I BEGAN BRAKING TO MAKE THE LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE CITATION CLUB APARTMENTS WHEN I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SLOWING. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDER AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO PULL AGAINST THE BRAKES. AS I APPROACHED THE END OF CROOKERS LAKE BLVD I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR WAS SLOWING, HOWEVER THE ENGINE WAS "SCREAMING" AND THE TACHOMETER WAS APPROACHING TO "RED-LINE". I MANAGED TO MAKE THE LEFT HAND TURN AND AS THE CAR SLOWED I SHIFTED IT INTO PARK TO STOP IT. THE ENGINE WAS SCREAMING SO I TURNED THE IGNITION TO OFF POSITION. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT IMMEDIATELY RED-LINED AGAIN; I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE CAR. UPDATED 03/11/11

FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN EMITTING WHITE POWDER FROM THE INTERIOR VENTS. IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE AS THE POWDER SETTLES ALL OVER THE DASH BOARD AND BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE EACH YEAR. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA AND ONLY NOTICE THIS PROBLEM DURING THE WINTER WHEN THE HEATER IS USED. WE ARE WORRIED OF THIS POWDER BEING POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS TO OUR HEALTH AS WE BREATH IT IN. I HAVE HEARD OTHER OWNERS OF LEXUS RX 350 WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. THE DEALERS FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT AND POTENTIAL HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE 2007 LEXUS RX 350, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2010, MY A/C LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND THEN GAVE ME "CHECK AIR CONDITION" SIGN. START TO SMELL GAS/OIL SMELL AND ALSO SAW SOME SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE. I PULLED OVER AND SAW OIL LEAKING BY THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE SIDE. OPENED MY HOOK AND CHECK FOR OIL LEVEL AND I WAS ALMOST OUT OF OIL. I FIGURED MY OIL MIGHT BE LEAKING FOR A WHILE AND WHEN I GOT BACK HOME I REALIZED THERE WAS SOME OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY AS WELL. SO I THINK THIS PROBLEM STARTED A DAY AGO. I ADDED 3 QUARTS AND DROVE THE CAR BACK HOME (ABOUT 4 MILES). SINCE I HAD ADDED ADDITIONAL OIL, IT HAD MORE OIL TO LEAK OUT. WHICH MADE MY DRIVEWAY COVERED WITH MORE OIL. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT ON THIS CAR AND HAVE DONE MY OIL CHANGE VERY REGULARLY WHILE I WAS BROWSING THIS ISSUE ONLINE, I REALIZED THERE ARE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPORT SAME PROBLEM FOR SAME MODEL OF LEXUS ON DIFFERENT FORMS AND BLOGS. IT IS MY REQUEST FOR YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS AND SEE IF THIS IS MANUFACTURES ISSUES. THIS SITUATION IS VERY HAZARDOUS AND UNSAFE FOR THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP ON THIS. *TR
