I forgot to post earlier that my RX will be going in for service this week. The service writer was in today, I guess they do oil changes and things on Sunday. I will post the results. I guess it is better to shake out the all the problems at one time rather than over a longer time. Once resolved all will be forgotten.

The voice commands are incorrect 9 out of 10 times. I had 7 friends (all American, English speaking) each try 3 different commands and the ratio was the same. My friend has an 08 Mercedes C300 with Nav and the voice command works 10 out of 10 times with the same 7 people. Does anyone else have road and wind noise? Or a buzzing when the brake is applied? (and it is not the ABS) The RX and other Lexus cars are over priced Toyotas. I made a big mistake. I test drove the new Buick Enclave today. What a ride. Quiet, smooth and strong! Way to go GM!!

The problems continue with my 2008 RX. This morning I put the passenger window down, and guess what? That is correct it now will not go back up. This car is total rubbish. Everyone said try Lexus, try Lexus. I will say good bye Lexus! It must be true, only the Germans build true luxury cars. My 1994 Benz that I gave to my 17 year old son has been great 180K miles and still going strong. God please help me get rid of this car!!!! My wifes Jag has been back to the dealer for only normal service and one warranty repair in 35K miles. Where does Consumer Reports get their info? I emailed Lexus and they keep telling me that the car has a 4 year 50k warranty, thats fine, I just do not think I should have to keep going back to the dealer for so many problems. :angry:

:( Is anyone else unhappy with a new 08 RX350? I purchased mine new in October of 07. Black with gray inside. Nav,etc. This car is loud. I have a lot of wind noise, road noise and a buzzing sound from the brake relay. I believed this was to be a great car. Today the door handle fell off when I was washing it. I attempted to trade it for a GS350 AWD and would loose $7K (I would have done $4K) to do the deal. What resale? My car has only 2350 miles on it. I can not believe I traded a BMW for this junk mobile. I will have to go to Benz or BMW!!! Did I just get a bad one? My uncle has the same RX, he purchased two weeks after me. This is his third RX and he too is having some issues. Did Lexus hire unemployed GM and Ford workers? What should I do?

I think what you are hearing is the brake relay for the led brake lights. It sounds like hissing but is buzzing!!!! It drives me mad. My 08 is doing the same, my Uncle has the same RX 08 and does not have the issue. Mine is going in for service next week I will post if they solve the problem. Overall I feel this car is a piece of rubbish. I have wind noise, road noise and buzzing!!! I have grown to hate this car! I have tried to trade for an 08 GS AWD. The RX value is down $7k from the time I purchased it in October. 2050 miles!!! I will be going back to Benz.
