Top 10 Lexus Repair Issues

All makes and models have their own personalities and quirks, strengths and weaknesses. We thought it would be useful to mention some of the most common Lexus repairs we see in the line-up.

1. Massive oil leak and loss of oil pressure – oil lines on the Lexus RX350 are known to burst. This is a sizeable leak and a serious repair issue that needs to be done as soon as possible, as continued driving will destroy the engine.
2. Air conditioning fault – air conditioning lights may flash or an AC error message may be displayed. The AC amplifier may fail and there is an updated part available as a result.
3. Check engine light with codes P0440, P0441, P0442, or P0446 – the Check Engine Light may come on with various EVAP system fault codes stored. This can be the result of a sticking EVAP Purge Vacuum Switching valve. An improved valve is now available to fix this issue.
4. Check Engine Light and Lack of Power – mass Air Flow Sensor failures are often not uncommon.
5. Clunking noise from front suspension – worn top front shock mounts can cause this, as the parts have been redesigned.
6. Brief rattle or knocking noise on initial start-up – if there is noise coming from the timing chain area, there are updated variable timing gears available to fix this issue.
7. Software upgrade for GPS, Radio and Heater Operation – checking for and implementing the newest software update is the first step in diagnosing and fixing this issue.
8. Clunk type noise from rear of vehicle when stopping – an updated rear driveshaft and rear suspension control arms fix this repair issue.
9. The inside rear-view mirror may become discolored – if the inside rear-view mirror has become discolored or blurry there is a revised part available to fix it.
10. Abnormal fan belt noise – implementing a revised fan belt tensioner fixes this issue.

LEXUS REPAIRS & COSTS: Repairs can be costly, especially if the issue requires us to work on the transmission and engine. We help you cut costs by prioritizing repairs that need immediate attention versus ones that can wait by sourcing the best parts for the money and by providing the best technicians to work on your car. That’s what makes our prices VERY competitive.

LEXUS PARTS: We generally use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts ONLY if they are cost-efficient. Otherwise, we’ll source an equally durable aftermarket part. We’ll help you save money this way!
