Mr CB

That's about what we get with our 2013 450h. On the highway we'll get 25-26 and around town 19-20 where most of our driving is... It does not get any better than my 2003 es300 that I drive back and forth to work and only slightly better than my 2015 3500HD pickup which gets 17-19 average... My 450h does not get what it's supposed to... I have two friends that just bought 2022 Toyota hybrid minivans, both of them are getting 35 mpg. They are improving. I do not know about the Lexus hybrids.

I have a 2013 RX450h. It gets 22 to 24. I'd like to get the 28-30 mpg that is advertised. I still love the car though and so does my wife. The most important factor.

The POAA6 code is a high voltage drain on the batteries. I would take the car in for a checkup. These cars are highly advance and monitor all kinds of things. The fact that you are getting a code is telling you that something is wrong. If you've been driving it since 2010 and no problems that's pretty good. It probably will not take a technician an hour to trouble shoot the problem and give you a fix. I have a 2013 RX450 and I would be taking mine in to someone qualified as I know I'm not.

I'm just wandering which RX did you buy? How do you like it?

I have to agree with 1990LS400 now. It appears he knows a lot more about the system than me. I probably would attempt to do a repair on it and cause more damage, lol. You should turn it in on your insurance and pay your deductible. I wouldn't sell the car or trade it for this, that would be a big $$$ loss.

Is the emblem busted? If so was it busted when you received the car. I wouldn't pay $1700 for a new one either. First I would pull it apart and see if the sensor under the emblem is damaged. If not I would replace the emblem and go from there. The sensor is probably not damaged just part of the emblem is against it. If you do not want to tackle it yourself try a collision place. You can always get an emblem at a salvage yard. When you pull it apart there should be a part number on the back. Use that to find one. They are about $125 on lexuspartsnow.com or any number of other parts places. At the salvage yard it will even have the sensor attached to it and would be a direct pull and replace. You might even be able to just unplug it and leave it disconnected and have to others work. If you were close I would try to help you.

This must be a problem with Lexus as I've had the same problem on my 03' ES300. I bought it with 62,200 miles on it and they had just replaced the pads it said. At about 75k I started getting the wavering on the pedal when braking. I knew this must be a warped disc so I had them turned and replaced my pads. Problem solved. At about another 5k miles it started again. I performed the same with having the disc turned and replaced the pads again. Wavering stopped. Luckily I had purchased O'Rileys ceramic pads with Lifetime warranty and they replaced them free. At just under 100k it starts again. This time I replaced the rotors with O'Riley rotors and new pads. I wanted Wagner rotors but they were unavailable for a week and I needed the car. The O'Riley rotors and ceramic pads worked great though. There was no more rotor warping taking place. They are still installed and I just replaced my pads at 165k miles again with the Lifetime warranty. They were about 75% wore down and required replacing. They had almost 70k miles on them. I'm convinced it was the Lexus rotors being faulty. I just purchased a 2013 RX350 with 60k miles. I'll see how it holds up.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up going with my credit unions extended pkg. They had a 3 yr 36k miles for $1200, that covered everything that's not a normal wear item. Probably will never use it but just case and it give my wife a little peace of mind. The dealers same pkg was $3600. The dealer did have something that I went with. A insurance that repaired door dings, replaced lost or broke remotes, replaced windshield and paid my insurance deductible if I had an accident. Probably will use this since every vehicle I have has had to get a windshield rock ding repaired and one replaced that my insurance didn't cover. With this noise reducing windshield being over $1500 and they didn't repair rock dings but replaced the windshield. I decided that this might be beneficial. Have a good day.

I'm just purchasing a 2013 RX350 with 62,900 miles here in Dallas. My big question. Should I buy an extended warranty on this suv? I've owned 2 older Lexus before but the newer technology that is showing up in these cars and we're demanding can be expensive to fix. This being 7 years old things can start breaking and wearing out by now. I know the car will be reliable for years to come but will the new electronics last? Thanks for any feedback.
