13 Wiper problem of the 2016 Lexus RX350

Failure Date: 02/28/2018

Passenger wiper was streaking; assumed the blade needed replacing. Instead, learned that the arm was bent, causing the wiper to hit the interior of the hood and has caused paint to rub off on the hood. Our Lexus is only taken through a touch less car wash or the one at the Lexus dealership. The passenger wiper is impossible to lift given its tucked position. I do not see how this could have happened by removing snow from the windshield.

14 Wiper problem of the 2007 Lexus RX350

Failure Date: 11/28/2017

While driving down the highway (approximately 60mph), I heard a loud noise & I did not know what it was at first. Upon looking up, I saw my closed moonroof shattered & I had tiny shards of glass on my shoulder & on the console below it. I inspected the damage after stopping a little later & there is a clear ridge of separation. This was not from a rock or other object with one primary point of damage.

15 Wiper problem of the 2016 Lexus RX350

Failure Date: 08/25/2017

Main wiper arm the extends to cover more glass area (in other words, the right wiper) bent, causing the wiper to hit the hood. Our Lexus isn't taken through a car wash, and the dealership wanted to blame it on snow, but last winter we didn't have snow. This happened in the middle of summer. It has caused paint to rub off on the hood and makes a bang every time it hits the hood.

16 Wiper problem of the 2016 Lexus RX350

Failure Date: 04/11/2016

2016 RX models equipped with the heads-up display have an issue with the oem windshield showing a second image of bright lights at night. This occurs for streetlights, stoplights, led tail lights, and even incandescent tail lights. The double image is clear and distinct approximately 1/4" below the original image at 100 feet ahead of the bright object and it slowly moves to join the original image as you approach the bright object. When driving at night, this gives a parallax effect and is distracting. Due to a chip in the windshield, the oem windshield was replaced with another oem windshield that also demonstrated the same issue. Other 2016 RX models at the dealer exhibited the same effect. Nothing can be done at this time from the dealer and the district manager.

Failure Date: 10/20/2015

My car has been mostly stationary and kept in my garage for 3 years. This year I experienced the dashboard and ignition area melting and cracking. I feel it may affect the functionality of the airbag. Also, I do not know if there may be some sort of chemical release that is not healthy to me or my passengers. Visibility is also a problem since there is a severe glare from the dash on to my windshield.

Exploding passenger side mirror I own a 2009 Lexus RX-350. It's in excellent condition with limited mileage. Last week, we were stopped at a stoplight when suddenly there was a very loud & frightening explosion emanating from the passenger side mirror. The mirror came flying out of its casing, hanging by its wires, & was cracked. Moreover, the fluid that's in these auto-dimming mirrors sprayed/dripped onto various panels, damaging the paint. I did not hit anything. No biker, person, or crazy bird hit my mirror, nor was I shot at. It was also not temp-related. . Read more...
