2010 LEXUS RX

Pot affects 2007-2011 RX350/450= 459,285 units. 1. On Friday, [XXX], the oil cooler pipe burst on our 2010 RX350. 2. All six quarts of engine oil were lost in approximately 700 feet while traveling at 70–75 mph on the highway. 3. Massive amounts of smoke poured from the front of the vehicle & through the air vents, causing my wife & daughter to fear for their safety due to risk of a fire & smoke inhalation. 4. No warning lights appeared on the dash, meaning the vehicle could easily have been driven to engine failure had there been no smoke. 5. 2 Colorado Department of Transportation vehicles & a State Trooper stopped to be sure they were ok & monitor the risk of a fire.  8. Towed & Lexus dealership confirmed seen many 3rd gen RXs with this same issue, some with seized engines because no dash warnings were triggered.   9. Lexus updated part from RUBBER to STEE, acknowledging design flaw.   Major Safety Concerns This failure represents a serious safety risk that could have r

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2010 Lexus RX450H. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase of the vehicle. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase, the vehicle mileage was 118,000. It was later discovered that the mileage was 183,000.

Mileage: 183,000

I purchased this vehicle. It was advertised with 117,000 miles and I did an auto check and I was asked to verify if that was the correct mileage on the vehicle because the last check-in showed the vehicle to have over 250,000 miles on it so I am concerned that this vehicle misrepresented the mileage and possibly turned back the odometer.

The the VVI oil line failed in April of 2024. Contacted Lexus corporate via phone and problem was never resolved. Fast forward to November 2024 and after paying to have VVI oil line replaced the motor failed on the highway. Mechanic said complete engine failure. THIS CAR WAS A CERTIFIED USED LEXUS AND THEY FAILED TO REPLACE THE VVI DURING THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS! Prior to buying this used car from an individual I called Hendricks Lexus 6935 W Frontage Rd, Merriam, KS 66203 and spoke to service advisor Willie who said if you have any problems with that vehicle bring it in and Lexus IS making good on the hybrid vehicles. After purchase I went to Hendricks 9300 NW Prairie View Rd, Kansas City, MO 64153 multiple times for parts and service history. I spoke to parts manager, service manager and several others and NOT ONE PERSON INFORMED ME OF THE PROBLEM AND IMMEDIATE NEED FOR CONCERN! HOW DID THIS CAR GET CERTIFIED PRIOR TO THE PREVIOS OWNER BUYING THE VEHICLE “CERTIFIED”? I BOUGHT

The contact owns a 2010 Lexus RX350. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH over thin black ice, the contact lost control of the vehicle, causing the rear passenger's side of the vehicle to crash into the guard rail. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was drivable and the contact drove to the orthopedic for medical assistance. The contact sustained a left shoulder joint fracture. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was inspected, but the vehicle not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the Lexus collision center for assistance. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, another vehicle that was driving at an undisclosed speed rear-ended the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was drivable. The contact sustained lower back pain

When parked and turning the steering wheel or driving at low speed you hear a clunk / clunck noise vehicle makes knocking noises as it jumps up and down (bumpy) or vibrates when driving You can also feel it in your hands. Also it rattles and makes noises when turning. It feels like there is no lubrication. The drive feels not only unstable but also is very distractive while driving. Took car to Lexus and was told it is steering column or shaft or both; quote around $4000 with labor. Seems like a lot of people had same problems and the steering is manufacturing defect that should be recalled as a safety concern.

The transmission to oil cooler hose erupted!! Oil was sprayed everywhere along highways. Destroying environment This is an environmental safety issue. As well as a vehicle killer. It is a well documented problem with Toyota and lexus vehicles. Just Google it. Many have been recalled. This is a serious design flaw. The government needs to address this. Every mechanic is stunned at how ridiculous it was to use rubber instead of metal. Toyota/ Lexus needs to recall all vehicles snd repair this. And reimburse those who already fixed them or lost their vehicles. One mechanic said this could result in vehicle fires I realize my vehicle is old. But this is an ongoing issue with multiple years involved. Thank you

ABS TCS lights came on and check brakes warning was displayed. The power assist failed making the brake pedal very hard to press in order to stop.

There is a known issue in the form of a Warranty Policy Bulletin and I believe a recall in Canada for a faulty engine oil cooler line that was made of rubber and fails under heat (now replaced by metal lines). This happened to my daughter after a hot day and she pulled away from the driveway the next day. Almost all of the oil leaked out and we stopped the car and had it towed to a Lexus dealership. When it was inspected, it was confirmed this was the issue, and there was a noise in the engine. I have a concern that further engine problems may have resulted in a loose bearing needing compete replacement. This has yet to be confirmed, but seems consistent with the many discussion boards that mention this exact issue.

Abs actuator failure causing wheels to lock up in wet conditions along with loss of control..I nearly crashed into pedestrians when it failed. suddenly check abs light came on along with abs system malfunction...I could've been killed or killed someone. lexus will not cover the repair though they did for customers under 50k miles and under warranty which is completely criminal. Any lexus of Toyota highlander with abs assembly part # 44510-48080 needs to be recalled and replaced at Toyota and lexus immediately. They want $4000 to fix the system knowing they sold a critical safety part that malfunctions.

ABS System failure Suddenly while driving in wet conditions abs malfunction appears check brake system appears, brakes locked up several times under light braking pressure first occurred two months ago. Dealer inspected estimated repair 3700$ Not isolated event as I see many complaints online from other owners

In about 2016, ABS light went on and I took it for repair at an independent auto shop for $400. A few months later,received a notice from Lexus of ABS issues so after speaking to Lexus, USA and sending a copy of receipt,I received a credit for having already paid to fix it. Fast forward to feb 2023 and ABS, brake,etc..lights all go on. Received estimate from Southbay lexus for over $5200 to fix Abs actuator assembly and hoses and pump kit, etc.. Found out today online after turning it in for repair at Lexus Southbay that there was primary coverage and secondary coverage offered for this exact issue and a safety/recall letter was supposed to be sent out starting in 9/2020 to owners of Lexus 2010-2012 RX450H vehicles. I never received that letter, so I missed that deadline to receive an inspection/service. Was I and my family in danger? After basic coverage expired at 48k miles, Primary coverage expired in 12/31/21 and secondary expired for owners of 10 yrs or 150k miles or less whicheve

2010 LEXUS RX 350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO AN OIL LINE RUPTURE.

The speakers in my car made a loud noise and I thought someone hit my car. Ever since then it’ll keep happening and it’ll startle me when I’m driving. Sometimes my speakers would have really loud static sound and it’s impossible to turn it off. It’s extremely dangerous to be startled like that when I’m driving.
