hi sorin i have a 2007 rx400h i bought it new and for 3 years now i have never had a repair = fuel is usually 23-24 mpg in the city - i can get 40 mpg if i am very careful and use the feathering of the gas and minding the display to make sure i am running on the battery only - but it is so much fun to drive a bit more aggressively - the battery is warrented for 8 years and very few have gone bad - also i think the battery should last a lot longer than 8 years-the 12 volt battery should last at least 4 years - this has been a great car for me and i love it - the price 33k sounds right Thank you very much for the answer. I am still waiting for the car to arrive in Romania so I can't tell you very much about it. And with the winter coming in 2 months what about it's behaviour in snow with very good winter tires? i am using the original michelon tires that are all season = i have tried to get stuck in the deep snow but the car just keeps going = i have tried to skid going around corners but i cannot get it to skid - as far as i amconcered it is a great snow car - i have all wheel drive - also the anti lock brakes do a great job on ice and snow - i feel very safe driving on any weather --- richard

Looking To Buy Rx400H Any Advise?
richard4u replied to MidLifeHiker's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
hi i have a 2007 rx400h i bought it new and i love it = 3 years old and never a repair = i can get 40 mpg if i feather it but most of the time i get less cause it is so fast and fun to drive = try to find a used 2007 as the newer ones have some changes that i don't care for = like the nav. screen and the joy stick control = i like mine better - the battery is warrented for eight years and none of them have been replaced that i know of - so not to worrry - i did buy the extended 7 yr package just in case - this is a highly reliable car - take one for a test drive and you will be very impressed - richard4u -
if you live in alaska you need it - in miami not needed = your choice

400H Garage Door Opener
richard4u replied to dhermann's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
i think you are holding the learning button on the garage door opener - i think you just push it once then push the button in the car read the instructions again - do not hold the learing button down -

Wild Window Malfunction!
richard4u replied to 4irelands's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
you must have leaned on the key and held the door open button down for enough time to activate the open windows and moon roof feature = normal operation for the feature - read the owners mmanual -
as for the backup lamps - there is a shield on the bulb that can be removed to increase the illumation - the procedure is in this forum - i cannot remember where it is exactly - i will try to find it for you - the shield cuts out about 1/2 the light as to direct it donward !

hello ! ! the lead acid battery does not start the car - the hybrid battery does - but wait - do not put any load on the lead acid battery - it is very small and it can go dead in a few minutes - it is only there to power up the computer that starts the car - yikes i have run down the lead acid bettery several time by leaving the door ajar -- this is not a battery that is found in a regular car = BEWARE and good luck richard

Fastener, Clip Under Hood Droped
richard4u replied to lwleedy's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
I lost 2 pieces also and Lexus dealer charged me $3.23 each. I felt like someone just robbed me. What a scam if that is really true - your dealer is a rat = mine was glad to give them to me for free = can you go to a different dealer ?? -

Sunroof Electrical Problems
richard4u replied to patrikrask's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
yes you have to run it thru a complete manual cycle to reset the auto function you also have to cycle the windows thru a complete cycle - this has to be done for each window by using the switch for each seat - you cannot do it from the drivers seat -
Rx400h Radio Security Codes
richard4u replied to nhrider's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
Only if you set the code, Otherwise no code. ;) why reset your moonroof ???? just run it thru a full cycle and it should reset itself the power windows have the same procedure but you have to cycle them from each indivual window if your batter goes dead and or / if you disconnect it - you have to reset roof and windows manually as described above -
Does Your Rx400h Make Noises After Turned Off?
richard4u replied to cduluk's topic in 04 - 09 Lexus RX330 / RX350 / RX400h
hi CD - i have a 2007 rx400h bought new in 07 - yes there are some noises like when you open the door from outside it makes some kind of whirring sound. there are several other electronic sounds that come on - these are all normal - when turned off there are several interesting sounds it makes - i would not call them noises but pleasant reminders that you are driving a hybrid !!!! -
Me thinks you heard wrong, Grasshopper! ;) i know you cant use flashlight batteries - it was kind of a joke - excuse me i am 71 years old
