2010 LEXUS RX350 Complaints

OIL HOSE LEAK. OIL PIPE WHICH CONNECTS TO THE ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING THE HOSE WILL LEAK AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ADVISED THAT THE OIL IS LOW. "A SERVICE BULLETIN" WENT OUT TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC HOSE TO METAL. WHEN YOU TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TRY TO TELL YOU ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT AN ENGINE NOT RECEIVING OIL AND YOUR TRUCK JUST BREAKING DOWN IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

STEERING COLUMN RATTLING / CLINGING. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BY THE MANUFACTURER. HOPE WE WILL NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEBODY OR A FAMILY LOSES THEIR LIFE.

THE STEERING COLUMN RATTLES WHENEVER YOU GO OVER A BUMP. IT SHAKES AND MAKES A LOUDER CLINGING NOISE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURENCE. THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGED ISSUE BUT CLAIMS IT HAS BEEN FIXED ONCE. SAME PROBLEM REOCCURS AGAIN. CLEARLY A DEFFECTIVE PART. MANUFACTURER OFFERED A REPLACEMANT PART BUT REFUSE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLATION COST. I OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF THE INSTALLATION COST. MANUFACTURER REFUSED MY OFFER. SENT AN APPEAL LETTER OF RECONSIDERATION TWICE BUT WAS REJECTED. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING / DEFECTIVE PART PROBLEM. REGARDLESS OF HOW OLD OR HOW MANY MILES THE VEHICLE HAS. IF SOMETHING IS FIXED ONCE AND SAME PROBLEM REOCCURS AGAIN, THEN IT'S NOT FIXED. CONCERN OF MY FAMILY SAFETY AND VERY DISTURBED ABOUT THE MANUFACTURERS ATTITUDE. PLEASE KINDLY HELP.

ELECTRICAL CAUSES HEADLIGHT TO NOT WORK (ON DRIVER SIDE), AND THEN DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT WORK ON DRIVER SIDE AND HAD TO USE KEY FOB . THEN ALL WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN AND CANNOT ROLL THEM BACK UP DEFINITELY NOT SAFE WITH WINDOWS DOWN WHEN OUT OF TOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LEXUS RX350. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (CHARLES BARKER LEXUS VIRGINIA BEACH, 3909 VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA 23452), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED AN INVESTIGATOR TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CONTACT ANYONE CONCERNING THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

MY CAR STARTED LEAKING OIL ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE GARAGE, AS SOON AS I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAID FRONT OIL COOLER HOSES WERE LEAKING AND THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST. DEALER ASKED LEXUS TO RECALL AND WERE REFUSED. THIS DEFECT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET SINCE THE COMPANY USED RUBBER HOSE INSTEAD OF METAL WHICH THEY USED TO USE AND SHOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO USE. THE PART WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT MY DRIVEWAY AND GARAGE FLOOR ARE RUINED. THE COMPANY 1-800 NUMBER SERVICE PERSON WAS RUDE. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THIS PART WAS A PROBLEM. OTHER DRIVERS ARE BEING STRANDED ON ROADWAYS AND THEIR ENGINES ARE BLOWING UP. PLEASE HELP. THIS NEEDS A CLASS ACTION SUIT OR A FORCED RECALL.
