Difficult Starting When Warm

[HANKLEC]

Just purchased the new 2009 RX350.

When the engine is cold no problems starting up.

After the engine has warmed up it has to turn over some 8 times before starting.

It has been at the dealer since last Thursday morning 7:30 AM. They called late day on Thurday (5/15/2008) to tell me that the annalysing equipment is not giving any indication as to what the problem is and that they have called Lexus to help.

Reply should be forthcoming next Tuesday. WOW...talk about outstanding communication in this day and age.

Anybody out there having had this problem?

I have owned 2 Muranos back to back 2004 & 2006 totally problem free.

Have had my 08 RX 350 for a little more than a year now, and have never had any starting problems, either warm or cold. Hopefully it's just some mechanical issue/adjustment with your car that they can resolve quickly, and to your satisfaction.
