2010 Lexus RX350

ON THE 2010 LEXUS RX350 THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM. WHEN TRAVELING WITH HIGH WINDS OR AT HIGH SPEEDS THE WASHERS DO NOT WORK ON THE UPPER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD, HENCE IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO SEE. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN CONFRONTED WITH ROAD SPRAY IN COLD CLIMATES. THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENT THAT CAN BE MADE. IT IS A FIXED NOZZLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LEXUS RX350. WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AND STOPPED ON ITS OWN. DURING THE FAILURE, THE SLIPPING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LEXUS RX350. AFTER CRASHING INTO A SNOW EMBANKMENT THE FRONT BUMPER WAS CRACKED AND LOOSE. NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, WHEN THE DEALER WAS CALLED, THEY INFORMED HER TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. THE BUMPER COST $900 TO REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS APPEAR TO BE OVERLY SENSITIVE IN LEXUS VEHICLES. I OWN 2009 AND 2010 RX350S AND BOTH HAVE ISSUES WITH FALSE ALARMS, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER SEES AT LEAST 20 CARS A DAY WITH FALSE ALARMS AND THEY ARE SELLING NITROGEN INFLATION GAS TO REDUCE THE RATE OF FALSE ALARMS. ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AS FAR AS DIRECT SAFETY IS CONCERNED, IT CAN LEAD INTO THE SITUATION WHERE THE DRIVERS WILL START IGNORING THE WARNING LIGHT THAT CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. IF THE EQUIPMENT HAS HIGH FALSE POSITIVE RATES, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE, BUT THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT IT'S DOING ONE. *TR

2010 LEXUS 450H WON'T START. WE BOUGHT A NEW 2010 LEXUS 450H ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, IT ALREADY HAPPENED TWICE, THE CAR JUST WON'T START. BUT AFTER PUSH POWER ON/OFF FEW TIMES, THE CAR STARTS.

DROVE 4 HOURS TO A WEEKEND TRIP, SATURDAY, USED CAR FEW TIMES, EVERYTHING IS FINE, THEN SAME THING HAPPENED ON SUNDAY, START AND STOP FEW TIMES, AND IT WORKS. *TR
