Used 2014 Lexus RX 350 Consumer Reviews
Bought Used 2014 with Only 17,000 mi
I read a lot about Lexus and their resale value. The SUV is beautiful inside & out. I was very surprised that the radio does not mute when the navigation gave directions. My 2013 Ford Escape does this very much important feature. The loading of the contact info from the mobile phone is not complete either: the phone numbers are downloaded, but the addresses are not (again, a feature included in the Ford 2013 Escape). The navigation reads bottom-to-top, unlike what I'm use to: top to bottom reading of directions (like the Lincoln/Ford). The mouse is easy to get use to, but I do want to "touch screen" some of the selections. Heads-up if your use to a Lincoln or Ford electronic features, they are much more user friendly than the Lexus.

Recline the Front Seatback causes Airbag Failure
Very refined and polished ride and very quiet which I need for my Tenitus. IAdditionally, I much prefer the was driving along late at night and my front passenger reclined the seat back almost all the way to take a nap. Immediattely the seatbelt light started blinking and tthe "Check SRS Airbag Warning" triangle light came on. Took it to a dealer the next day and was told that it was not covered by Warranty due to something (water bottle, shoes, whatever) "might" have been stuck under the seat that would have caused the yellow wire harness to trigger this warning. I had to pay $149 out of pocket to get it re-programmed. There was NOTHING under the seat and I keep a clean and clutter-free car, and never leave trash randomly rolling around in my car. SO... owner/drive beware, DON'T let your passendger recline the seat back too far...

I will miss this car! Although I got a new one.
This was a great car! Traded in after 144,000 miles. Never had a problem and such a great ride. The 2023 is amazing!

Ocean City Happy
Purchased this vehicle from a dealership in Pennsylvania in July of 2019. The vehicle had 46,000 at the time of purchase. The vehicle had a clean Carfax, that indicated the prior owner had maintained it regularly. This is my wife's car and a great one. The RX 350 retains it's value for a very good reason... it's a great vehicle! Great driving performance. Quiet ride, quality interior and plenty of room. No complaints what so ever. The only expense to date was to replace the battery in January 2020. Dealership maintenance costs are high. The dealership quoted $220 to replace the battery. I purchased a comparable Interstate battery at the local Valvoline Oil Change shop for $135 installed. I also own an Acura RDX (another great vehicle) and find the Acura dealer to be less expensive for service work. UPDATE... Six months later... still a great vehicle, Great ride, just broke 50K miles.****20 months of ownership and it's still a great vehicle. Now at 53,000 miles. No problems since the last update, changed the oil recently at the local Valvoline Oil Change shop (the same place that I purchased the Interstate battery reported earlier). My only complaint with the Lexus is the cost of maintenance at the local Lexus dealership. As mentioned earlier, the local Acura dealership that services our other vehicle (Acura RDX) is much more reasonable for the cost of maintenance, far more accommodating and much friendlier. For that, I would give the nod to Acura. That said, we are very happy with the performance of both vehicles and don't envision replacing them for several years. 9/15/21... 54,500 miles no problems, still running great. 3/15/22... 56,500 only 2,000 in the last 6 months. That said, great vehicle. We found a local mechanic who does good work at reasonable rates. I think we will have this vehicle for a while. Happy we found it when we did.
