Did you check the pressure in the spare tire? Nine times out of ten the spare is the problem.

Default Problems

I bought my FWD 2007 RX350 new off the lot. About a year later it had the only recall for the oil line done.

No more problems after that. About a month after my extended warranty kicked in. My XM radio receiver died. That was replaced. Then about a year later I got an airbag warning light. The drivers side pillar one went bad. Took the dealer about 10 days to get one and install it.

Sold it last summer for 25k with almost 70k miles on it to CarMax. Excellent car.

Unhappy Oxygen Sensors

Check engine light along with VSC came on this weekend and it turns out I have a bad O2 and an air-fuel ratio sensor. I'm fortunate enough to have a mechanic in the family that can replace these for a little more than $400. Problems like this make me wish I had purchased a different vehicle

That is way too much money for the b1s1 sensor job.

The Denso sensor is only $94.00 shipped from ebay and your mechanic should not charge more than $100.00 to get it installed.

04 RX330 FWD. a cover on the outside door handle came loose a few months ago. instead of pulling out the entire door panel as suggested below, I tied fishing line to the lock assembly and pulled it back after i tightened the entire door handle. It took less than 5 minutes and super easy.

The RX's are not problematic. Most all cars will have some problems that need fixing. I am a older guy and my RX is one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. The question asked is "problems you had so far". There are only 66 postings here of cars that had problems worth commenting on. People that don't have problems don't post on this thread!

True above. There are tons of these vehicles out there; some are bound to have issues.

I just got mine, and I took it through the car wash and the sunroof leaked slightly. I don't know if the calibration helped but I did it after the car wash, so we'll see...

But the rear hatch also leaked, quite badly. I read on this site that the brake light could be the issue, but not sure how to diagnose that... anyone have experience with that?
