04-09 RX350 known issues?

[Bailey9971]

I have been doing a lot of research on this year and model and am wanting to know any issues that owners have had.  I am looking to purchase within the next month.  Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

As a Consumer Reports subscriber for more than 40 years, I can tell you this:
RX vehicles, including the 25% more efficient hybrids have been very reliable.
However, if you are buying any vehicle that is more than 10 years old, its maintenance by previous owners is extremely important. Preferably, the current owner can tell and/or show you what was done over the years. But before you even discuss this, I recommend that you find the manufacturer's maintenance schedule, which will list mileage and dates of services.

 I would walk away from any vehicle for which the owner does not have this information.
