There are recalls for 2017 Lexus RX350’s for their fuel filters being faulty. Mine is not on the list. I have taken my car to many mechanics and in the last few months I’ve had my front and back brakes replaced, new struts, new tires and more done on the vehicle and nothing is helping. They have checked my mass air flow sensor, oxygen sensors, spark plugs, transmission and everything they can think of to try and see why it is having such a hard time transferring power to the wheels and being very sluggish. I’ve replaced air filters, done fuel additives and many other things, there are no error codes or any stored codes. I am left to only think it is the fuel filter/system and my vehicle is part of the list affected. I noticed the changes in the vehicle about 20,000 or so miles ago and it’s gotten worse. I’m not sure what else I can do at this point.
