SO Many Issues

Kind of noticed around 75% of these threads are for problems with their RX.
I really haven't had any issues with our '09. Am I the exception or are there owners like me that haven't had issues?? Kind of makes one wonder if a new vehicle (RX ) a wise thing to do??

I think that a lot of owners come to forums like this in search of information for various issues. The vast majority of satisfied customers, not so much. As one poster said a while back, you don't see posts that read something like "I drove the car today, and nothing unusual happened".

It's not a problem but the AC isn't as cold as our 03 Solara. And I've been on Nissan vehicles who's AC are known for really cold air, but that was 15 years ago.

My 2011 RX350 AC works great, always set the LS at 74 degrees and find that I set the RX at 76 or even 78 for the same comfort level.

The only problem is I don't have a place to put my sunglasses. I really miss that glasses holder.

I have a Toyota, IS and a RX. I have the problem with the AC for all three cars. After turn on AC to use then turn off AC just blow air by the fans, I have the uncomfortable smell. Brought cars back to the dealers, they cleaned them good. However the smell comes back after 3 4 days. Oh well, been living with that for years.
