Two problems related to engine and engine cooling have been reported for the 2018 Lexus RX350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I tried accelerating on the highway (pch in santa monica, CA) while traveling forward at about 45-50 mph, but the vehicle hesitated. This is the forth time there has been a hesitation in acceleration since owning the car, but this time there was a message on my dash. The message stated that there was "an obstruction with the pedal and acceleration was retarded. " I later looked down at the pedals felt around the them, but found nothing obstructing. At the time, the vehicle had less than a quarter tank of gas but not low enough for the low fuel warning to come on. After driving about 15 more miles - the low fuel warning came on. I have always put premium fuel in the vehicle and my wife doesn't put gas in the vehicle. A recall was recently performed pertaining to the fuel pump at the dealer - pertaining to low.
Hesitation upon acceleration. The engine does not respond in a linear manner when pressing the gas pedal.
