Nice Car to Drive - droning and vibration FIXED
Update! Lexus released a fix for the droning and vibration on January 25. I had the fix installed and it works! Amazing stuff. The middle section of the exhaust system gets replaced. Do not buy or lease an RX350 unless you like consistent droning from the drivetrain. Mine was super quite until around 1800 miles and then something changed. There’s a low pitch droning sound with a vibration all the time - especially at about 1400 rpm. The nice ride and comfy cabin does not make up for this serious flaw. Search “RX350 droning sound” before making the investment. Look elsewhere for a midsize SUV.

To start or not to start
There is a technical glitch with this model that Lexus hasn’t come up with a fix for. Periodically, about 4 times a month, the car won’t start when first turned over. A message appears that states “ Braking power low. Pull off the road. Check owners manual”. Lexus says to keep trying, push the petal harder and the car will start on the second, third or fourth try. They claim the car is functioning normally. My other Rx’s never had this problem. Be prepared to face this surprise each morning!

Vibration and Drone on take off
Had this car for nine months now. From day one every time you take off there is a vibration. and low. frequency exhaust note that is just unacceptable especially for a $50k + car. Come to find out its a known problem Lexus is aware of. Many consumers are having this issue but according to Lexus they are saying one of two things. We know about the issue and do not have a fix at this time or its a characteristic of the. new model..Which. is it. Lexus, I would definitely stay away. Lexus quality has definitely taken a turn for the worse.

RX350 Rear Main Seal Leaking at 200 Miles,
Do a complete check on the NEW vehicle (if there is a oil leaking) before you sign the paper.

A let down
Bad transmission hesitation issue at low speeds. Engine whining and droning. Slow from the start. No power uphill. No luxury feel to it in city driving.
