2022 Lexus RX 4dr SUV
295-horsepower 3.5L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 260 mi | Purchased a new 2022 Lexus RX350 from a Lexus dealership in Louisville, KY. The vehicle had 8 miles on it. Within the first 10 minutes of driving it the next day after bringing it home from the dealer, the 'check engine' light went on and multiple messages displayed on the instrument panel including 'Parking Support Brake Malfunction' and 'AWD System Malfunction. 2WD Mode Engaged.' I immediately pulled over and called the local Knoxville dealer. I brought the car in and they determined that this was caused by a 'Failed 02 sensor. Code P013614.' They replaced the sensor and we'll just wait to see how it goes. But, I certainly never expected to have the car in the repair shop immediately after buying it. During the purchase, the salesperson said the only time this car will see the inside of a repair shop was when we were getting an oil change. Ha! Most reliable vehicle on the road? I don't think so, Lexus. Let's hope I didn't end up with a lemon. Very disappointed. |

The oil return hoses are rubber and are external to the engine. These hoses are under high pressure. One hose burst and 5- qts of oil were expelled from the engine within 1 1/2miles.
