As with any vehicle, Lexus cars certainly have their problems over the course of their lifespan, and some are more common than others. From oil and water leaks to problems with the sensors and cracking dashboards, we\u2019re taking a look at some of the most common problems reported by Lexus owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oil Leaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oil leaks seem to be an issue that plagues a huge number of vehicles UK-wide at some point throughout a car\u2019s life. However, many Lexus owners are reportedly experiencing leak issues as early as 8,000 miles into the car\u2019s life. The Lexus RX 350 has been reported by GetJerry as having a &#8220;propensity to leak oil from the engine&#8221;, which &#8220;primarily affects those between 2007 and 2015&#8221;. (https:\/\/getjerry.com\/car-repair\/lexus-common-problems#what-are-the-most-common-lexus-problems) If not caught quickly, or if left unrepaired, oil leaks can be costly and cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.service4service.co.uk\/car-repairs\/engines\">significant damage to the engine<\/a> and components. Getting your car <a href=\"https:\/\/www.service4service.co.uk\/car-servicing\">booked in for regular servicing<\/a> and keeping an eye on the quality and level of your oil can help you catch problems before they get any worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Water Leaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water leaking into the car\u2019s cabin also appears to be a commonly reported issue when it comes to Lexus cars, particularly in those with sun or moonroof areas. Medium.com reported that &#8220;defects or wear around the edges of these roof features can lead to water seeping into the vehicle&#8221; which, when left unchecked, can lead to corrosion, mould, damp and other potentially dangerous issues. (https:\/\/medium.com\/@isalmanansari007\/common-problems-with-lexus-cars-a-comprehensive-guide-a092fb370d43) Rust can build up, and the electrics may be put at risk. This issue typically occurs around 20,000 &#8211; 30,000 miles but is worth keeping an eye on throughout the car\u2019s entire lifespan to ensure it\u2019s caught before rust can form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Power Steering Rack<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another problem with leaking &#8211; Medium also reported that Lexus vehicles can be prone to developing leaks within the power steering system. Over time, the components within the system can wear down and gradually reach a point where loose fittings at connection points can lead to cracks and leaks throughout the hoses. This kind of damage can be costly to repair if not kept on top of, so it\u2019s best to ensure you are having your Lexus checked and serviced regularly to prevent any irreversible issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sensor Problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cars are becoming more and more technologically advanced but with more and more tech comes more opportunities for things to go wrong. For Lexus, reports claim that this manifests in issues with the car\u2019s sensors. MotorAndWheels states that older models, such as the Lexus IS 250, have &#8220;O2 sensors [that] are prone to failure.&#8221; (https:\/\/motorandwheels.com\/problems-with-lexus-cars\/). These sensors, when faulty, can cause issues with the performance of the vehicle and should be seen to as soon as possible. Our team can run full diagnostics and act accordingly to get your Lexus up and running as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cracking Dashboard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plastic can be brittle and prone to cracking, but the last thing any of us want to see in our vehicles is cracks on our dashboard. Lexus are known for their luxurious, stylish vehicles and a crack along the dashboard certainly doesn\u2019t lend itself to that sleek finish. According to research, the PVC may be reacting to UV and heat exposure and cracking prematurely. Due to the frequency at which this issue was occurring, Lexus did put out an offer to cover the cost of any replacements needed in affected models.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you own a Lexus and are unsure of what to keep an eye out for, or you\u2019re in need of Lexus repairs, we are on hand to help.
