Help. Buying a used RX!

Hi All,

Migrating from my 13’ GS FSport to a used 16’ RX. (Family needs more space - love my GS)

Need your help. In reading this forum there are clearly a high # of complaints regarding the drone, vibration, and shifting issues.

Have these been fixed or will this be a real risk factor when buying a 16’. ??

Also. If I go RX FSport do I have worry about any of these issues?

Thanks in advance!

Well, a few weeks ago, I flew to Denver from Fort Worth and picked up my wife's "new" '17 with 8,200 miles on it. Drove it home, no issues at all other than trying to figure stuff out on the horribly boring stretch of road which is US 87 in NM/TX.

Granted, her's is not a sport, however, I daily an LS 460 L, so I accustomed to driving a machine which is tomb-like in how quiet it is.

Besides extra wind noise over my LS...though speeds were rather, um, elevated, the RX is as smooth.

I have a 2016 RX350 and the shift issues are still a problem. I drive it in Sport mode to avoid the issue that occurs in Normal mode. And I had the only TSB applied last year.
