Used 2010 Lexus RX 350 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Slipping reliability
I purchased a 2010 Lexus RX350 Ultra package from a Lexus dealer in September 2019 with 72k miles. It now has 96k miles, In my time of ownership I’ve had these problems arise: Leather doesn’t hold up well at all Amplifier failed-$300 for a rebuild and self install Rear struts failed- $700 Trunk shocks failed- $50 self installed ECU failed- $1,410 TPMS system failed- $900 Honestly I typically love Lexus vehicles and I have several cars at the moment to compare and this SUV while it is very comfortable and has decent power has not held up to the reliability expected of a Toyota/Lexus product.

Drive Train
I was making a turn going approx 10 miles an hour when a retaining clip on the right front axle broke resulting in the car not being able to move except to roll to a stop. The car had to be towed to a Lexus dealership. They said there was also a bolt missing in the bearing carrier. Now I am afraid to drive worrying that it will happen again. I took it back to the dealership I purchased it from to see if they would give me my money back so I could purchase another car, but they would only give me 75% of my purchase price. I left the dealership very disappointed,with my car. What would have happened if this happened on the freeway?

This vehicle is designed for politically correct soccer moms. They have eliminated the ash-tray, lighter and change holder. For just the front seat (1 driver, 1 passenger), they now have 3 cup holders and spaces for an almost infinite number of water bottles. There is no outlet for a cellphone charger or radar-detector. The center armrest is way too far back to rest anything but your right elbow on. Whoever designed this clunker must be related to the guy who changed the formula in coca-cola.
New 2010 RX 350 - Lots of Systems Problems
My new 2010 RX 350 started off great. This good feeling lasted about 2 months until my first technical problem. Since the new Navi/radio system is so intricate and connected to everything, I've had problems with the climate controls, Navitraffic, XM Satellite radio and HUD display. I'm in shock. I thought Lexus quality stood for more. Well, my car has been back to the dealer 4 times, each visit averaging 3 days. Every time, the same story, we need to research this, we are unfamiliar with the new systems. I think I should have waited until they had gotten the bugs out. How frustrating my new car experience has been. Be forewarned.
Okie dissapointment!
My wife and I went from a wonderful '07 to this cumbersome '10. The ride is rougher, window noise, a loss of 4 to 5 MPG, and it drives like a truck. The turning radius is greater, the steering is slow to respond, the acceleration is OK but the vehicle seems so big I'm afraid to goose-it. We screwed-up! My wife and I both wish we would have kept the '07. The '07 was nimble, quick and fun to drive. The '10 is none of the above. One positive is I have a little more leg room in the drivers seat. The information panels are hard to see and select. Auto wipers did not come with the '10. The bluetooth is difficult to hook-up three layers down in the console. My advice don't trade.
