Used 2022 Lexus RX 350 Consumer Reviews
Exhaust drones/vibrates between 1400/1900 RPM
I have a new 2022 but the exhaust noise and corresponding vibration in the pedals and steering wheel is very annoying. Test drove another new 2022 today that did not have these issues. After two visits, a total of 11 days in the shop, and replacement of several parts the issue remains and Lexus has now washed their hands and told me that’s just too bad. It’s operating as intended in their words, but obviously not, or they would not have worked on it two times and replaced parts. Very disappointed in Lexus quality and there their response to customer issues. If they don’t deal with this in a better fashion, they can put me down as a never again customer, and I warn everyone looking at ANY RX 350 to carefully check for this issue. All you have to do is leave the car in park, and very slowly rev the engine between idle and about 2000 RPM . If you hear any abnormal, droning , rumbling or vibrations run from the car, because Lexus will not fix it!

Our 2022 RX350 is very nicely finished, but they have never fixed the horrendous drone and vibration that many, but not all 2022's have which dealer personel say is normal and corporate said you it is normal. So learn to live with it. Poor answer when you spend 60k for a supposed "LUXURY TOYOTA PRODUCT". hk

Exhaust Drone and Vibration Problems
Not sure about the statistic number, but a large amount(Maybe 50%) of RX350 has the Exhaust Drone and Vibration issue(Just google it). Lexus chooses to ignore it and note it as normal. Ironically they are pursuing 0 NVH(Noise, Vibration, Harshness) at the same time as Luxury Brand. Be careful of this issue before you buy this car!!!

Love my 2022 RX350; learning features.
I bought my RX350 Premium 2 weeks ago, only 42 miles driven so far. Drives smoothly and comfortably; no exhaust drone or vibration unlike the earlier review. I learned how to operate Android Auto so I can connect my smartphone by USB cable to use Google Maps. I did not get the Navigation System option but using Android Auto displays navigation on the standard 8-inch screen. I enjoy the standard 9 speaker Lexus Multimedia System (has a CD player!) Don't believe all that hype about needing to order the Mark Levinson music system, unless you have to drive a concert hall all day long. Oh, yes. I have no problem using either the display screen or the touch pad on my 2022 RX350. I find the touch pad user friendly, and the standard 8-inch display screen is within easy reach for me to touch (I am 6-foot, 1 inch). The NuLuxe seats feel so plush and comfortable as I drive. I did not find LexusApp that useful. I really don't care to start my car using my smartphone. I prefer to hold my fob key and start my RX350 the old-fashioned way. Lexus Enform seems useful, but Amazon Alexa Compatible? I am driving a luxury SUV, not a living room! So far, I have not used the kick sensor for the power rear door. It's simple enough to touch the button on the rear tailgate. All my grocery bags are next to me in a shopping cart when I get to the car. I love having the moonroof and look forward to opening it in cooler weather. After reading all the marketing information about "paint protection film" or "ceramic coatings", I prefer to apply a paste or liquid wax which seems less intimidating to perform. I just don't draft behind tractor-trailers on the freeway and look far ahead for trouble on the road. I can always afford to get a quality paint job several years later if the front end and hood gets chipped up.

Very Disappointed after Relying on Reviews
I relied on Lexus for their quality and reliability. I told the dealer exactly what I wanted after test driving many 2022 RX 350. The dealer found what I wanted and my mistake was that after he brought it in from MA to NJ, I didn't test drive this vehicle because I already drove many of the same vehicle. This vehicle is not smooth (shudders) in between 10 miles an hour and 35 miles an hour. My personal mechanic said the gears are rubbing. When I took it to Lexus, they said that this is normal!! However, when I take it in for my service (5,000 miles and 10,000 miles), the same year and make loaner doesn't do this!!! I had the Lexus mechanic drive it with me and he said he heard and felt the vibration too but when they brought the Lexus engineer in, he said it was normal.... I waited so long to get this car and can't wait to get rid of it. I should be loving the first year of my new car but it is nothing but a headache and I don't even enjoy riding in it. I probably got a LEMON.
