Any Issue(s) on 4th Gen RX450h ?

I have owned a 450h and 350RX from previous years and the new 2016 knocks it out of the park in my opinion. People that would have never considered a new RX are buying them now.

Only had my 2016 RX 450h a few days, but I can truthfully say that it is much better than my 2015 model. The new one seems quieter running, the inside is quieter, it rides better, and the steering is much lighter. I really like the car and glad I bought it.

Yep. If you read these forums you will think the 4th gen was the worst but I would buy another in a second if I lost the one I have.

I picked up my 4Rxh last week on Thursday and I'm loving it so far!
...However, I was supposed to take delivery on Weds but during the first few minutes of the delivery specialist talking me thru all the new stuff we discovered that the AC was not working. They called a guy to look at it but he could find nothing obvious. So they drove it back to the shop, put me in loaner and said, "we'll call you." Apparently the AC was low on freon. They charged the system and checked for leaks (over several hours) and found none. My fingers are now crossed, hoping this is not an omen.

Is anyone having issues with noisy brakes? Whenever I brake, I hear a sort of hydraulic/actuator noise coming from under the car. This can only be heard with the radio off but it is especially noticeable in parking garages. It is too loud for me to think that it is normal - thoughts?

I'm trying to imagine what kind of noise you are describing. I drive thru our parking garage at work every day, usually with the radio on (not loud) and I haven't noticed anything unusual. However, at times I am tempted to take a wire cutters to the the speaker that plays the alien-sounding noise in EV mode.
Are you talking about the calipers clamping onto the disc? I don't really hear that either but I'd call that more of a mechanical noise (if I heard it).

It does sound more like a mechanical noise. When I drive into the parking garage SiriusXM cuts out, which makes the brake noise even more noticeable. You should turn off the radio and try it. I will ask my dealer to check it out next servicing since it sounds abnormal.

Erican13...did you get a resolution to brake noise? Got my 450H in August and the brake noise is there at low speed. Asked two dealers about it and both said that it is a normal sound and other 450Hs have the same noise. I was not able to confirm as the last dealer did not have a 450H on the lot for me to drive. The noise does not sound right and will ask the dealer again to check it.

Blemish on dash, they fixed it.
Navigation acted up, they replaced it.
Gas tank/fuel gauge issue, they fixed it.
Noises? I don't hear the EV pedestrian warning or brake noise. The parking brake does make a activation/deactivation noise when car put is put in/out park...normal.
Very few complaints after 11,000 miles. Guess I need to spend some time with windows open in a parking garage.
