  1. I had a similar issue with my 2007 RX350 with 59,900 miles on it. THe Check Engine light and the VSC light. The Lexus dealer said it had code P2195 and I needed to replace an A/F sensor. Since I was above 50,000 miles, he said it was not covered by warranty and would cost around $500 to replace. He said that as a goodwill gesture they'd split the cost with me. When I picked it up I was charged $250 for labor, plus about $37 for Hazd./Shop charges. They also had me sign a 2nd invoice so they could recoup about $220 from Lexus. As I look back at it, I'm wondering if the charges were appropriate.
  2. Here's one thread, at least. Try a search on white particles and white dust, as well, and you may get more, but it seems it's an internal piece causing it. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...p;hl=white+dust This was a fairly rare issue when I had the problem in Sept 2007 supposedly on 3 other identical problems in the country. They initially replaced the filters but the problem returned. Then they replaced the evaporators twice and problem solved. My cars interior was gutted twice. Lexus regional sent techs to look into the problem so by now they are aware of it. Tell them to Call Lexus in East Hanover NJ and speak to their service and they can tell them the resolution if they can't get info from their regional techs. Thanks for all the info. Your posts caused me to go back and check my service records. My service tech suspected the heater core, but now after reading the service report, I realize they actually replaced the evaporator. That was in December 2007. I should also mention that I took delivery of this 2007 vehicle in May 2006, soon after the RX350 was first introduced. So it was my second winter when the problem occured. And now I am just starting my second winter with the replaced evaporator and seeing the white dust again. Seems like a pattern to me.
  3. About a year ago, as we approached winter and the temperatures began to drop, I noticed a white powder along the top of the dashboard, near the heater/defrost vent. (I have a 1997 RX350.) I cleaned it up a few times, but it continued to accumulate. It would take a few days for enough to accumulate to be noticeable. I had the Lexus dealer take a look at it. They determined it was a deteriorating heater core and they replaced it. That seemed to solve the problem and I no longer saw the white powder. Now, one year later, as the temperatures once again are dropping and I'm beginning to use the heater, I am seeing the white powder again. Have others experienced this problem?
