"routine replacement of worn out items"

"They had cracks"

"Leaking power steering fluid"

"Had to be replaced twice by dealer"

"There was a very minor leak in the power steering system, but it cost nearly $2500 to fix"

"Squeaking belt noise, had to replace Power Steering unit"

"leak found at service. replaced power steering rack"

"Once the power steering fluid has begun to leak from the boots due to worn gaskets inside the steering rack and the rubber boot covers have begun to deteriorate, the entire power steering rack needs to be replaced at a cost of about $2,000. Before or at about this time, the front and rear struts have to be replaced, for roughly another $2,000. So, the car requires more than just regular maintenance and the recommended maintenance at specific milage intervals at approximately midlife due to wear"

"expensive repair"

"The power steering racka nd pinion assembly was leaking at a 90,000 mile service check and replaced"

"70,000 miles and on oil change, was told that the power steering rack and pinion was leaking and if not fixed could cause loss of control. $900 to fix. Found many complains on Lexus RX-350 web forum about same problem"

"Replaced rear struts due to oil seepage at 80000 miles. Replaced front struts due to abnormal tire wear at 94000. Apparently, not unusual although others I've talked to said to expect 150000 miles, but tire places told me to get ready after 50000. Not unreasonable."

"Both rear shocks started leaking, requiring replacement."

"three of the four leaked"

"There was a rumble under the car that was discovered to be the struts. They have been repaired and the noise is gone."

"Both front and rear struts were replaced at 80k miles due to leaking shocks, normal wear"

"Replaced struts"

"I was advised by my mechanic that the shocks & struts needed replacement. Otherwise I was satisfied with the car's performance. Apparently the age of the car and what appeared to the mechanic the need to replace the items above were needed"

"Expect to replace both front and rear struts at some point during the car's midlife. Each strut costs about $300 and the replacement is labor intensive, for a total cost of around $2000"

"Bad and loud noise"

"left front headlight leaked and caused the ballast to quit functioning so the after dark headlight would not work. evidently it has been a problem and Lexus would not fix it since 2017. They said that I had to get a new headlight at $2600 plus $600 installation. One of our son's is a Porsha tech. He ordered a new ballast for $59 and installed and resealed the headlight assemble. Works fine"

"TPM{tire pressure monitor ] light was blinking. As instructed by manuel., press and hold down reset button under dash;should go out. did not; still stays on while driving."

"tire pressure light stays on even when the tires are inflated correctly - it's too expensive to get fixed in a car this old"

"Tire pressure monitor goes off when the sensor needs replacing, the tire pressure is too low or too high, or when the spare pressure is too low. They also are exprensive to replace. When the dashboard light comes on and flashes it can mean too many things, and usually does not indicate a problem with a tire. Kind of a nuisance."

"Whenever weather gets colder, tire pressure monitor comes on."

"sensor light stays on; have added air to correct pressure; light did not go off."

"left rear wheel hub needed replacing"
