Who has the most miles and what issues (if any) experienced?

We purchased our RX in January 2016.
Current odometer: 39K miles
Issue:
  • Seeping oil - identified and fixed by the dealer. Oil issue affected only a small batch of early production vehicles.
  • Gurgling A/C - applied the TSB by the dealer but gurgling noise is still there, although not as loud as before. Seems the A/C isn't blowing cold air as before the fix, will bring it back to the dealer.
  • Clicking driver seat - when in stop and go traffic, the driver seat makes a clicking noise almost - small rocking sensation. This is pretty annoying since I drive in stop and go traffic often. Mentioned at prior service but dealer couldn't duplicate.
Other things to note:
  • I get 20MPG in daily commute 70/30 highway/city mix - LA traffic. I was hoping for better MPGs
  • Still on original tires, which will need replacing soon - maybe another 5K miles out of them.
  • Original brakes - feels like I need to replace them soon. OEM front pads are pretty expensive ~ $140 just for the pads
Overall I'm happy with the vehicle but would not purchase a first year model again. Since it is a Lexus, I thought I would be safe with a first year - but cars aren't perfect. Most of my issues were corrected in later production cycle.

We have roughly 20K miles on our 2017 purchased in Jul-17. No issues. Michelin tires wearing well and I'm changing oil every 7K miles or so. MPG not great but what do you expect with a vehicle this size

purchased in Oct 2016, currently at 52800km. Had a few trips Toronto-Louisville-Phily-Toronto, Toronto-Louisville-Toronto. Had snow tire for last winter. I think i am gonna replace the all seasons after this winter, four tires all wear differently, two of them still have plenty thread but the other two are approaching minimum safety notch.
City driving gives 22L/100km which is kinda high, highway driving usually ends at 13L/100KM. The lowest I got was 9.5L/100KM from Toronto to Montreal.
Only thing bothers me a lot is it doesnt have AA/Carplay.

Probably explains why the battery died. That car is barely being driven.
