Knocking sound coming from the engine at ~50K miles. Took it to a lexus service center and was informed that the sound was from a failing brake vacuum pump. If not addressed, the failing pump could make braking the vehicle extremely difficult and potentially cause an accident. The 2017 rx350s have…
Knocking sound coming from the engine at ~50K miles. Took it to a lexus service center and was informed that the sound was from a failing brake vacuum pump. If not addressed, the failing pump could make braking the vehicle extremely difficult and potentially cause an accident. The 2017 rx350s have a recall for this exact issue but nothing for the 2016 rx350s. Disappointed that a vehicle that has been diligently maintained with only ~50K miles IS already having issues with failing parts that could cause a serious accident.

I was driving down highway and heard a loud explosion. I was very shaken up. it was a scary experience. I was traveling 220 cross lake bridge and at time could not pull over. I kept hearing crunching noise above me. I opened sunroof inside cover and that's when I noticed the sunroof was shattered and it was what had exploded.

Rodent damage to the electrical wiring harness of my 2016 lexus RX 350 caused by lexus using a soy base covering on the wires that attract rodents.

The vehicle was stalling and sputtering after driving less than 0.1 mile on a city street. After contacting the lexus dealership regarding the issue, we had the vehicle towed into the lexus dealership. After running a diagnostic check, they determined the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle has 51,701 miles on it. The towing charge was $101, and the repairs were $808.96. approximately a month later, I saw that toyota and lexus were recalling various models and years with a similar issue that we experienced. Although the 2016 rx350 IS not currently included, I contacted lexus because the coincidence was too much to ignore. Lexus advised that our vehicle IS not currently included in recall nhtsa 20v012000.

I also have noticed of the mph difference between 6 to 8 mph. lexus said, I required to pay for the repair, when this speedometer IS defected by lexus design. it has do nothing with personal wear, etc. I drove other honda pilot, and the speedometer showed correctly against the traffic pattern, and waze app, but the 2016 lexus doesnt show the correct based on traffic flow, and waze app. the travel from leesburg, va to indiaopolis, in should be 547, but ended at 601 miles. im ok if its just few miles differences, but 50 miles per every 500 miles IS huge, 5% error. I think its because of speedometer and impact error actual miles. I went to lexus chantilly, va to perform recall for other thing, door handle, but they said, wont look at speedometer issue, unless I pay for it. then I called lexus corporation to open the case, and the lexus case manager wont honor or fix my issue. this IS serious safety issue, and should be covered by lexus due to their defective issue.

Sunroof spontaneously exploded. I was driving about 45mph on my way to work during a rainstorm around 6:30am on april 23 2020, when I suddenly heard a very loud bang. I looked up to see that my sunroof had burst and there were glass fragments raining on my head. I closed the visor to prevent more glass and precipitation from falling into the vehicle, and pulled under an awning to assess the damage. the glass had burst outward (pictures attached), and there were no dents or chips on the outside of the vehicle indicating that it could have been struck by something. other than the shattered glass, there was no debris on the inside of the vehicle. additionally, at the time the glass burst, my vehicle was the only car on the road within several hundred meters, so this could not have resulted from any sort of road debris kicked up by another vehicle. I suffered minor cuts to my arms and head, but did not have any major injuries. my rx350 had fewer than 24K miles on it and was 3 years old, so it should have been covered under basic warranty. lexus ultimately denied any sort of manufacturer defect, and did not honor the warranty. I had the vehicle repaired at a lexus dealership for $1,465.

Auto bright head light system deactivates/reactivates indiscriminately, most frequently a few minutes after departing in the morning (still dark). Lack of proper bright light control while driving at night greatly reduces visibility making this a safety issue. I have provided video evidence to lexus dealer demonstrating the problem who consulted with corporate lexus; lexus claims that they found my vehicle to be within lexus specifications and has refused to further investigate nor repair. Information posted on the internet by numerous lexus rx-350 owners reported the same problem - one suggesting that proper cleaning of the camera lens fixed the problem; I provided the evidence to lexus and lexus refused to attempt this solution.

I have almost been t-boned four times in 2 months since I bought this vehicle due to it randomly stalling briefly while turning. Occasionally I lose power while going uphill, and I have had several instances of my vehicle 'jumping' or surging. It happens while I am driving, but the majority if the time I have noticed it, it happens when I am turning or accelerating. I have not had any lights on the dashboard come on, but I have has this issue since day one of buying the vehicle and when I saw the recall that was expanded today on toyota and lexus vehicles for a faulty fuel pump, I started reading about it and it sounds like exactly what my issue IS. The recall covers 2017-2019 and my car IS a 2016, but I believe it should be included as well.

While I was driving on the highway around 3:30 pm cst, my vehicle sunroof just exploded and the glass shattered. There were no vehicles in the front for at least 150 meters.i was on my way to the airport. The wind noise was loud and also I had booked the parking outside (non-covered) so I had to go back home and take my wife's car. In this process, I almost missed the flight. As per the weather report it was going to rain the next 3 days so I knew I couldn't park the car outside with the broken sunroof which would cause further damage. Fortunately, the sunroof was closed so when the glass shattered it didn't come inside and didn't hurt me. I am not sure what would have happened if it was open?

We took a car for lease from lexus. The first week, we realized the brakes weren't working well. We took the car to the shop and they said nothing was wrong. Then, a couple of months later it happened again and they said the same thing. Last week, after 2 years, I was driving and so was my daughter ( two different times ) and we couldn't break the car. The car drove right past the intersection on a red light. Thank god there was no pedestrians or vehicles at that second. We brought it to alexus and they tested the brakes and saw a problem with the brakes. The pressure was low and the metal was scraping. They asked for a large sum and said we never complained before.

I was on my way in car from home (bridgewater nj) with my daughter to drop her for volleyball practice in hillsborough nj. About in 7-10 mins drive, my daughter and I smelled smoke coming from the ac vent and also noticed smoke from the front hood. I immediately pulled the car to the shoulder. There were no signs of alert indication on the dashboard. I turned the engine off and turned on the hazard lights. When I got off the car, I immediately opened the front hood and saw the fire between radiator and engine cylinder block. I immediately called 911. My daughter called her mom saying our car IS on fire. My wife suggested my daughter to video tape this. While my daughter was video tapping this event, the 911 responder suggested we get in a safe distance from the car and that the fire responders are on their way to this incident. We immediately got to a safe distance. Within 5 minutes from the call, the fire chief arrived and blocked the traffic. By this time, the fire spread to the driver and passenger area. We heard the airbags and tires exploding. The fire trucks came and the fire fighters started to extinguish the fire with water & foam. The car had completely burned to total loss. please note my daughter, 14 year old and I are in complete shock and traumatized with this horrific incident. My daughter IS having nightmares from this and we are scared with this event.

This car experienced an unintended acceleration at the top of my driveway while being put into park. The car took off and hit the center posts of the two car garage and only stopped because it was caught on the supports in the foundation. we had experienced this sudden unintended acceleration several times during the first year we own the car when we were getting onto the highway. We did report it when we brought the car in for a service, they were aware of the complaint but at that time there was no remedy for the computer slash transmission issue. I was parking the car at the top of the driveway, my foot was going on to the break and the car unintentionally accelerated and flew through the air into the center post of a 2 car garage. I luckily was not physically injured but was emotionally distraught. It took down both garage doors and the center pillar all of which had to be rebuilt and replaced.

The transmission has three settings. In any of them, start up often results in erratic shifting, rough acceleration and sometimes abrupt lurching forward. This has resulted in alarming shifting and acceleration. The shifting from one gear to the nexr IS not smooth nor contributes to safe start-up in my opinion - and I am over 80 and have driven many cars and trucks - worst shifting in my experience and IS dangerous. Dealer says IS normal.
