Super reliable, safe, comfortable, looks great. Good gas mileage for SUV. This is my fourth Lexus RX, when I sell this one, buying a 2017. The technology just keep getting better and better! Sold and bought a new 2017 RX

Lexus will not stand behind this model / year dashboard crack. I have owned 3 different RX 350…20 years worth. The cracking is a known problem and I guess they fixed it up to 2017. Now no support. We were never notified of this problem and we are original owners. Didn’t even get any ideas on how to fix. Auto upholsterers, dealers, car repair places won’t touch it. Beware! Audi, Mercerdes and Infiniti are now looking like good alternatives. Too bad.

I have a 2008 Lexus RX 350. The dashboard is falling apart because it is junk. This is happening to Lexus vehicles across the country. Lexus has admitted the problem and issued a "warranty enhancement" saying they will replace the faulty dashboards at no cost. The problem is they have no intention of fixing these dashboards. I have been on their repair list for well over one year, each time I call they give excuses that they are waiting on parts. When I ask when the parts might be in? Their response "sometime maybe this year or next year". Buy at your own risk, if anything is faulty they do not stand by their product.

Engine Noise

HELP! Engine very noisy especially whenever I accelerate and I was told by LEXUS that it is normal. When I test drove it, it was not noisy and I thought the noise came from the tires as I was told to change when it was under 20,000 miles as the inner treads were worn.
So you thought you had a reliable car!

I love the way this car drives and the comfort of this car. The breaking of the car is excellent. However the alternator was replaced at 75,000 miles and today at just less than 90,000 miles I have had to replace the power steering train which is 2000+ dollars and the back right strut which is another $750. I don't consider this a good buy when at 90,000 miles a powertrain starts leaking. I've had BMWs before and never had the issues that I have had with this car now. Today I have a new model SUV that's on loan to me and I was considering a purchase possibly have a newer car since my car is 2008 however after seeing the repairs today I don't trust Lexus to be that good a car. I kept my BMWs 13 and 15 years and never had the major repairs that this car has had. So much for all of the reviews that say this car is so incredibly reliable. It's now another 10,000 miles later and the car is now about 9 1/2 years old. I've had to replace the front brakes again but that doesn't bother me. The car has actually done fairly well the last 10,000 miles but the lack of technology for safety is making me rethink whether I'm going to keep this car or not. In any case it won't be another Lexus RX 350 because I don't like feeling like I'm squished in a cockpit or the design of the new car. Safety technology has become my number one issue. This car kept me from a bad car accident two years ago when a car cut out in front of me and I was able to hit the brakes hard and fast. I still really enjoy driving the car so I may keep it another five years unless it falls apart. I have a friend with the exact same car and mileage and hasn't spent a cent on repairs so maybe mine is just a fluke. Still like the car and will be driving it for a few more years I am sure.
