Used 2021 Lexus RX 350 Consumer Reviews
Hesitation
I’ve owned three prior Lexus vehicles before and never had any problems. I bought a new 2021 Lexus RX350 AWD in June. When I accelerate the vehicle wants to hesitate and not go unless I push the pedal way down then it goes. I’ve almost had several crashes from this. Unless this stops I’ll be forced to trade it in and purchase a different type vehicle and it want be a LEXUS. Very disappointed in this type of performance.

Swindled by Lexus
I thought I was buying a great car from a good company, well I was swindled. Just a few short months after I purchased my 2021 RX350, the plastic fender trim started separating from the fender. I took the car to the dealership and was told by a repair technician that the new 2022 vehicles are doing it too. And now the vehicle has developed and louder then normal sound, when heard when you place a load on the engine. I called Lexus Corporate on these issues and awaiting what the outcome is. A 57,000.00 car should be have much better quality control.

Buyer Beware
I am posting this to hopefully warn others about the decline of Lexus: 2021 Lexus RX 350. My husband and I have each driven a Lexus RX 350 since the mid 90's without a single issue. I bought a 2021 RX 350 i November, 2020. In October, 2021, my friend was driving it on a road trip in Hot Springs, AR. Long story short, as we sat waiting to join the traffic the car just sped off by itself at full speed, causing a fault accident. At the time, I thought my friend had just had some sort of mental lapse. However, in January, 2022, the identical thing happened to me. I filed a complaint with my local Lexus, Austin, TX. It was inspected locally, and the only feedback that I got from the October accident was that "your friend must drive with two feet", which she absolutely does not!! Then, I had to submit a mountain of paperwork to Lexus corporate. In April, they sent a gentleman (3rd party person) to inspect it. I got nothing but a bunch of symbols from him. I received an email as my formal response to my complaint, stating "no accident found"! I guess there wasn't; they had the wrong date for the date of the accident!! I have been lied to, jacked around all over the place, and they won't even return a call now. Additonally, ever since I've owned the car, there is a place in the seat that pokes me; it's never been an issue until this past week when I ended up with sciatica. I won't bother taking in it, because they will just say "nothing found"! I will never purchase another Lexus ever!! There is something very sinister going on. Worst of all, I have to disclose it to the next buyer, but I have nothing in writing to substantiate their false claim of "no accident found"! Buyer Beware!!

2021 RX350 fsport
Purchased this car 2 months ago to replace my 2013 RX350 (None fsport). The throttle response in regular drive mode is absolutely horrible. I have to drive in sport or sport+ mode to get better driving response. But, still not the best. My 2013 is quick off the start. We still have this car. Anyway, after 5K miles on the 2021, I am seriously thinking about selling it.
