Dave, Thanks for the response. If you still have your RX400 after all these years that says something about quality and reliability of the Lexus brand which I've read about being rather high. It looks like $50-$55K is about the norm for this vehicle and we got the only red one available in the area so the hybrid wasn't an option although those stats are certainly better. I figure I'm getting about (24-27MPG) depending on driving mode. I'm always in sport mode to compensate for the low HP so mileage is probably taking a hit there. There's only a 10-day return policy and we're a few days past that now so we'll work on getting used to it unless my wife decides she just can't deal with the shifter mechanism and then we'll have to figure something out. In the mean time maybe some free car washes and snacks once a week at the dealer will help lessen the discomfort. 😁 -
Had a similar issue three weeks ago with my 2024 RX500h at 3,500 miles. Out running errons, restarted the car and got the engine malfunction warning with "contact your dealer immediately. Like with the othjers mentioned here the local service deptartment could not dianose the issue. They provided a loaner and advised me they needed to have an engineer from Lexus (out of Atlanta) run a dianostic. My dealership recommended I might want to initiate a Lexus Buy Back claim incase the car could not be repaired in a timely fashion (which I did). Received a call from my service manager a couple of weeks later with great news - the engineer that came up to dianose the issue was able to correct it. They were able to download an update to software that corrected the logic issue that caused the warning code. 😊 I guess that's the price we pay for enjoying all the benefits of a technically advanced vehicle. Hopes this helps others that have had similar issues with their new Lexus 500h F Sports.

1. That depends upon the rotor thickness and whether material needs to be taken off. 2. That would depend upon your part of the country. $450 seems very reasonable if quality parts are used. 3. Take a look here for suggestions. Brakes for 2005 Lexus LS430 (tirerack.com) 4. See above. 5. Yes, that's what I do unless I have the work done by the dealership. Unfortunately, if you select the hardware and they squeal, it's typically on you to rectify. 6. The front brakes always wear out long before the rears do. I'd be surprised if you need all four done.

According to Consumer Reports, the best version of the NX is the hybrid with an overall score of 83 vs. the non-hybrid score of 72. They describe the hybrid as "more refined". They do describe the electronic interior door releases, the unintuitive gear selector, and low center dash vents as "small faults". Fuel mileage of the hybrid is superior at 34 MPG, a 42% increase. Our RX400h cost us $50K (before tax), 19 years ago, so your $50k cost doesn't seem so bad. We get 25 MPG.

I bought my wife a 2024 NX250 Lexus for her birthday last week and we're already planning to take it back, cancel the sale and get something else. While customer service at the dealer was exemplary there's multiple detractors for this model and many others I've been reading about. - Fixed non-adjustable annoying headrests. - Worst shift configuration ever conceived. The push button P,R,D,N,S-(Sport) on our Lincoln was so superior to this insanity. What was Lexus thinking? - 4CYL turbo has only 203HP while the same 4CYL motor in the 350 has 275HP? Nice way to hamstring a vehicle. - The Navigation Application is a free standard option on almost every vehicle except Lexus where you have to pay a subscription fee? - You have to manually turn off the eco engine shutdown/restart option every time you get in the car. Sheer ridiculousness. - Can't reset the MPG option. I can reset trip history but the MPG stays the same as one continuous analytic. Even tried through the dash history/reset option. We were excited to move up to a Lexus but after just 11 days that excitement has dissipated. It doesn't make sense to keep it with so many things we don't like especially for a $50K vehicle. Wish we would have thought about this a little more before purchasing.
