1 Radiator Hose problem

Failure Date: 08/27/2017

The oil cooler manifold which has rubber hoses leaked completely out. The new parts have a solid metal hose, not rubber! I believe Lexus obviously knew the rubber hoses were a cheaper method of cooling, though they are "high pressure" and should have been metal at the time of manufacturing the vehicle! I have seen blog after blog of people with the same issue. Oil all over my driveway and again, I believe the motor has been damaged due to driving home (unaware there was an issue) until I saw the oil everywhere underneath and on the side of the motor.
