My Lexus has just 50,000 miles on it garage kept, just was told my rack&pinion gear was leaking to the tune of 1800. 00 dollars. I was looking up Lexus forums on line, there is quite of Lexus owner's that have the same problem. And if you don`t take care of this problem it could be quite dangerous. I think Lexus should reimburse owner's for there out of pocket expenses.

2. 5 months old with 2200 miles has a leaky front right shock. The dealer says the shocks are on back order nationwide and it will take 2 weeks to get the part. It sounds like a possible recall problem. They will replace it under warranty now, but this may happen again right after the warranty runs out. Car feels unsafe to drive, but the dealer insists it is safe. The noise and rough handling is more noticeable in low speeds, but it is felt at all speeds. The problem started on Saturday and got much worse by Monday.
I had reported rough ride to sales specialist and service dept. It was attributed to new suspension specifications and possible tire pressure. Tire pressure was lowered however rough ride persisted. During the 12 month 10k full maintenance service of Rx350 both rear shocks were found leaking and replaced (under warranty). Since I had been monitoring rough ride issues of other Rx350's on Lexus forum I reported the suspension replacement incident to sales specialist and I had recommended addressing with those who may need to know to investigate potential suspension problem (s). There was no follow up to my emailed concern. Subsequently on another online forum a participant mentioned having suspension replaced on rav4 (Toyota branded auto). Perhaps there may have been an issue with a specific production run with one of their suspension suppliers and may need to be addressed since it may result in handling and / or control of vehicle.

I was driving my 2008 Lexus Rx350 on the freeway at 65mph and my son rolled down his window and instantaneously there was an extreme and painfull cabin pressure that Lexus call "normal cabin pressure". It startled me, I almost crashed with my wife and two kids in the car with me. It makes your ears hut, very painfull. I bought a Lexus because of t he quality and luxury that the Lexus corporation portays. I am vey disappointed because the Lexus dealership told me this is normal cabin pressure. The corporate office told me that this is normal and is no longer wanting to discuss this matter any further with me. They said that I will have to hire a lawyer if I want to pursue this matter any further. I think that the Lexus corporation is promoting false advertisement by claiming that they are commited to high quality and luxury while still mass producing the Lexus RX model with this deffect of "normal cabin pressure". This is so frustrating. I finally buy a luxury vehicle and it turns out to be defective with no apparent solution. Bassically I just have to live with this ear pearcing annoyance. What a disappointment with Lexus. I payed so much money for a disappointment!.

Lexus 2007 Rx350 can suddenly vibrate at a speed of 55 mph or higher. The vibration can unexpectedly start any time, first starting at brake pedal and then the whole vehicle body. The vibration cannot be stopped without pressing the brake pedal a few times. This will create a safety problem and can cause an accident in highway. I took the vehicle to a Lexus dealership four times and they failed to identify the cause and fix the problem. I also wrote to the Lexus company for help, and the company only suggested to get service at dealership.
