Consumer Description

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH LEXUS FOR NOT ADDRESSING THE RACK AND PINION LEAKS THAT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE RX 350 MODELS. I AM NOT ALONE IN REPORTING THIS FAILURE OF A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE STEERING SYSTEM TO NHTSA. THE LEXUS DEALER THAT I TAKE MY CAR FOR SERVICE FOUND THESE LEAKS AT AROUND 91,000 MILES. THE DEALER COULD NOT PROCEED WITH THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT AFTER DISCOVERING THE RACK AND PINION LEAKS. THE REPAIR COSTS THE DEALER ESTIMATED WAS $1320. I DO HOPE THAT NHTSA WILL INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
