2025 Lexus RX 350 common problems

The most-reported problem areas across all 20 owner complaints filed with NHTSA — and what to check before you buy.

Electrical System

Test every electrical feature: windows, locks, infotainment, charging and all lights. Watch for flickering, dead accessories or warning lights.

Engine

Listen for knocks or ticking, check for leaks and blue/white exhaust smoke, and make sure it doesn't overheat. No check-engine light should be on.

Service Brakes

Brakes should feel firm and quiet — no grinding, pulsing or pulling. Check for an ABS light and uneven pad/rotor wear.

Tires

Check tread depth, the DOT age date, and that all four tires match with even wear. Look for bulges or cracks.

Air Bags

Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.

Forward Collision Avoidance

Have a trusted mechanic inspect this system as part of a pre-purchase inspection.
