Consumer Description

BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, WAS INFORMED ONE OF THE POWER STEERING BOOTS WAS "RIPPED AND LEAKING PRETTY GOOD." I WAS QUOTED $1600 FOR A COMPLETE RACK & PINION STEERING REPLACEMENT INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR, WHICH I DECLINED BECAUSE THOSE ARE MSRP PRICES.. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR AND I AM NOW CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHER PASSENGERS. BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH 2007-2009 RX350'S ON THIS SITE, LEXUS IS WELL AWARE THEY HAVE AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM AND THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO COVER THESE INSANE COSTS. WE MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A POWER STEERING FAILURE AT BELOW 75K MILES ON ANY VEHICHLE BUILT IN THE LAST 20 YEARS...NOT HAPPY AND THIS WILL BE ONE AND ONLY LEXUS!
