  1. My 2019 RX350 displays this right after tire pressure data. There is nothing in the manual that describes this and and am wondering what it is. The manual does state "AWD Control displays the driving force applied to each wheel using segments. The greater the number of segments the greater the driving force applied." Wondering if that's what this is, and what does it mean? Thanks
  2. Yes, I assume that's what I'll end up doing...can inquire during my next scheduled service
  3. My center console is discolored (see pics). I tried Olde English Scratch Cover which had no effect. Any ideas on how to address this?
  4. Thanks for trying, but I already registered my home (Havre de Grace, Md) and the weather info still defaults to Kennett Square, Pa as the "current location." I was the original poster on the Reddit thread and actually had included a screen shot of the my manual so the responder suggesting I check my manual did not make sense. I have all of the manuals and have searched them for answers...that is why I am posting in this forum. It's not a big deal but it annoys me that the software does not function the way it should (OS & Nav software are current).
  5. Just purchased L/Certified 2019 RX350. One thing driving me nuts is trying to change the location "current weather" under "menu-info-weather" which defaults to a town in Pa nowhere near me. The RX was a dealer vehicle and originally titled in Pa. My maps are current and my phone with location on is paired. Deleted prior personal data, unplugged battery, nothing works. I have also changed to other local locations but hey are only local to the first town in Pa, not to where my car was actually traveling in Md. After I shut off & restart the current location goes back to the default in Pa. There was one instance when it somehow found my home town in Md, but after shutdown & restart, went back to the Pa location. I asked the dealer and they had no clue... Any theories?
  6. I brought my 2010 RX 350 AWD to the dealer for it’s 60K mile oil change, air filter and brake fluid replacement, and the list of various vehicle 60K inspections. The service rep called me over and said that the he recommended the following work: - replace the main drive belt which was fraying ($215 parts & labor) - drain & refill front / rear differentials which he said had darkened oil ($204 parts & labor) - replace the vent valve sub-assembly which he said was bad ($87 parts & labor) - replace the motor inside the steering column which was intermittently squealing ($3,000 parts & labor...SO MUCH FOR LEXUS RELIABILITY). What upsets me most is being advised to drain & fill the differentials at 60K miles. I had an AWD Mountaineer for 10 years & 130K miles and never touched the differentials. The 60K maintenance list says to “inspect” the differential oil, but it seems the dealerships use that as a way to squeeze more money from the service visit, advising that the “fluid doesn’t look good.” WHY IN THE WORLD SHOULD I NEED NEW DIFFERENTIAL OIL ON A LEXUS THAT COST OVER $45K, WITH ONLY 60K MILES ON IT...WHEN MY OLDER SUVS NEVER NEEDED SUCH WORK? I went online and found several other owners complaining of EXACTLY the same thing at their 60K mile service visits. Has Lexus prepped their service reps to scam up differential fuid service when it’s not needed? Sure seems that way. I have emailed the above to Lexus corporate.
  7. My dealer never mentioned anything like this to me. Why would the pressure sensors require you buy winter tires??? As long as we are discussing tires, are the Michelin tires on my 2010 RX 350 AWD (18" wheels) "directional?" Reason I ask is the manual says to rotate front to back and back to front; I read somewhere else this is because the tires are "directional" and must stay on the same side of the vehicle. I have never used that pattern before...and always got 55K miles on the tires of my previous AWD SUV. Thanks
  8. My rep said they visually check it out, dont actually touch it. I said that's not what the maintenance log says, and he basically said it's outdated and not to pay attention to that item.
  9. My 2010 RX350 owners manual states that every 5000 miles the drive shaft bolts must be re-torqued. I am sure thats not a cheap service. (1) What the heck is that for? Never heard of such a thing. My old car went 200,000 miles and I never touched the driveshaft. Now I have to torque bolts every 5000 miles on a $45000 vehicle??? (2) Can I do this myself? Are there instrctions / diagram someweher for this? Thanks! Ken in Md
  10. My 2010 RX350 (4800 miles) looks like the brake pads are showing signs of rust. Is this normal with these exposed brake assemblies? Ken in Md
