1 Air Conditioner problem of the 2017 Lexus RX

Failure Date: 12/12/2022

Damper servo sub-assembly, air conditioner radiator, no. 2 part number: 8710608120 which also called the bend door actuator failed on my 2017 Rx450h at 80,000 mile. The part or door opens to mix hot air form the heating core and cold air to supply heat to the interior of the vehicle. When the bend door actuator part failed you have no heat and to replace it you have to he the dash removed (poor engineer design) and face bills for service over 6,000 dollars. This part failed appears to be prevalent with this manufacturer. Other manufacturers such as Mercedes Benz, Porsche, and Honda etc. Do not appear to suffer from this part failure problem at the same mileage. This appears to be a lemon part form this manufacturer. Respectfully submitted, newton edwards chemical engineer 31 years.

2 Air Conditioner problem of the 2006 Lexus RX

Failure Date: 08/04/2014

The dashboard on my 2006 Lexus Rx330 has deteriorated over time. There are cracks in the dash, and soft spots that reflect sunlight as glare to the occupants of the car. My Lexus dealership (Lexus of tampa bay, FL) has so far been unable to help me with the dashboard defect. They told me Toyota corporate won't acknowledge the defect, nor provide any relief, especially since my car is out of warranty. I should note my car is kept in a garage, and the dashboard is only exposed to the florida sun when I am driving (with the air conditioning on).
