John B., CA (2010 Lexus RX 450h 3.5-L V6 hybrid)"Steering column rattle and repaired under warranty"
Anonymous, IA (2010 Lexus RX 350 3.5-L V6)"My telescoping steering column was making noises and I thought it required lubrication. Turns out it was a separation and misalignment and the entire assembly had to be replaced, total cost over $2800. Luckily I had an extended warranty that covered it. The dealer said that they have seen this before. I have been driving for over 45 years and have NEVER heard of this type of issue. I seriously question the reliability reputation of Lexus in light of this, as well as my slipping transmission and failed hood support piston ($500 to repair). These are major concerns that I never had with my previous vehicles (Mercury, Ford, Buick)."
