Last month we traded the RX in for a GS430 sport, what a difference, we were pleased with the RX at first but somehow it didn`t have the Lexus feel to it, the electrical problem was the icing on the cake. I know were talking about 2 different vehicals here but this GS feels like a Lexus, it reminds me of Dads first LS 400 way back in `93. Sorry guy`s but it would take a lot to get me in another RX, unless we needed the 4 wheel drive. P.S. I reckon the fuel consumptions about the same, if not a tad better.

We had the same problem with ford explorers in the U.K. turned out the fuel was attacking the throttle bodies. A few people were killed because the throttle had stuck open (imagine a 4litre car at full throttle in a small town). We were lucky , like your RX it would stick closed,it needed a hefty stamp to get going again. They recalled them all, lolol. That was the first and only ford we have ever owned it spent more time being fixed than we drove it. All the best, and be carefull.

← Oh well its in the alternative lexus repair shop now,they`ve found a 7amp discharge somewhere, its been in for 5 days so far, the mechanic looks for the fault when he has time spare. When he pulls the fuse? marked DCC the discharge stops but hardl`y anything works, he`s had most of the interior stuff apart. Just can`t find it. tommorow he`s starting under the hood, what a bummer, god knows what this will cost. These guys are not fools they`ve worked on lexus from day one, previously toyotas. He thinks it maybe something to do with the loom, in 30 years of jap cars i`ve never had an electrical fault, and i`m non too pleased. i`ll update if he finds it , lol ← Got the car back after nearly 8 weeks, i didn`t hassle em , lol. Turns out it`s an ECU playing up, it doesn`t go to sleep when the ignition is turned off. Apparently they have a few and they all read each other and these multiplex looms tend to be an ars---e to work on. These ECU`s come out around £700 each and i didn`t feel like paying out for a new one as we shall trade the car in soon. So its back to the 10mm spanner every night to take the battery lead off. The main dealer can spend his money on it, lol. Thanks guy`s for a great site.

We have exactly the same problem with our 2001 RX, i also bought a new battery from the local lexus dealer,within days it was stone dead, it takes days to recharge it and the dealer says that the battery has no faults.From fully charged it takes around 4 days to totaly discharge if we dont use the car and its parked. I daren`t book it into the lexus dealer in case they find some hugely expensive fault :cries: , i know this is a shot in the dark , but anyone else come across this and found a cure? If not i fear i will have to dig deep into my pocket at the lexus dealer. Am seriously thinking of trading it in.Its only done 35000 miles, we dont use the auto off function for the lights and it has no modifications.helpppppppp lol
