| Power Train problems |
There are multiple recalls on my vehicle and I am experiencing all of the recalls inverter failer vehicle stalls out alot. Crank shaft pulley is leaking oil and belt from the power steering maybe detached causing vehicle to stall. Inverter assembly causing the vehicle to stall and become non drivable. Floor carpet cover and retention clips. And my brake master cylinder leaking fluid causing major break problems. Every item I mentioned is recalls for the vehicle I have.
This vehicle seems to have a well-documented problem with water intrusion that damages the ecu and hybrid battery. The 2006 and 2007 Rx400h has the hv battery located under the seat, which is the low spot in the rear section of the car. If water is spilled or the body has a water leak, the water will pool at the center of the battery. Lexus considered this, and added a drain under the battery, but the drain has a filter, presumably to keep insects out, and the filter is easily clogged. This, coupled with a pattern problem of split body seams near the rear hatch strut mount causing a water leak in the rear of the car, has created isolation faults in many of the Rx400h suvs. The condition presents as warnings on the instrument cluster and a no-start condition where the vehicle is inoperable. A search for "Lexus ecu water intrusion" brings up my vehicle's exact model and year so this is well-documented.
