Consumer Description

MY 2009 LEXUS RX350 HAS 84000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS LEAKING OIL. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND CAREFULLY DRIVEN SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW SO IT IS A SURPRISE. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, IT TURNS OUT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE VOICED THEIR CONCERN WHILE LEXUS HAS NOT RECALLED THIS 2009 MODEL AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR 2008.
