I've had to repair the front wheel bearings twice in less than two years. I also had to replace ALL four tires twice in less than two years. Is there a correlation? Is this a defect that Lexus may be able to address? My current dealership is giving me a hard time and because I am a woman they dismiss me - changing dealership asap.

 

A bad wheel bearing will cause tire damage. As far as I know, their is not a known issue with Lexus' wheel bearings.

 

Lexus of Austin has women service writers ... It may make some customers feel more comfortable.... If I am not mistaken there are more women Rx owners than men. I would urge you to go to another dealership where you feel more welcome.

I will have to agree with the others. Are you the original owner of the car? Wondering about possible past damage to the car in another person's hands whether it be by an accident or simple curb bashing. Florida roads are not known to be all that bad.

Personally, I have an '04 RX330 FWD. Not one issue with wheel bearings nor tires with the exception of something I ran over on the interstate which sliced a tire.

 

Find another dealer. Best bet.

 

...i didnt even notice that my dealership is mostly male...

 

I had a rear wheel bearing go 6 months in on an rx350. I wonder if they do not bother to pack them well at the factory with grease? Or maybe poor inspection?

 

If the wheel bearing went twice, it is very likely that the original repair was not properly done. Definitely find someone else to do the work the second time around.
