I bought my 400 in June 2011 at 93K milage with a 12 months warranty included - ayear later I decided that as I was keeping the car I would purchse the 2 year extended warranty, i month later I noticed green liquid in the drive under the car. I had this checked out by Lexus Bradford and was told the transaxle was leaking. this was replaced under the warranty and would have cost me £3500 otherwise. Since then I have bought another 2 year warranty and intend to change the car next year when this runs out. It may sound a bit expensive but I prefer the peace of mind of knowing all the major items and some of the not so major ones are covered

Hi

I have an o6 SE-L. I tried to set the automatic locking as per the handbook but couldn't. When I next took it into Lexus I asked them to do it but was then told it was not possible on my car.

Hi I bought my RX450 SE-L in June 2011 with 92000 on the clock it had 12 month lexus warranty and when it ran out I put a further two years on. The car is brilliant - no trouble with the batteries and the fuel consumption around 30 mpg. It still drives and feels like a new car. the inverter problem was a recall by lexus so should have been sorted now on any cars out there - mine was done just after I bought the car. I did have a leak on the transaxle and the unit was changed under the warranty. I would recommend buying the Lexus used warranty it is a little expensive but does give very good cover. The big saving for me was the cost of the car - low due to the high milage - I did ask about the batteries when I bought it and was told that as yet they hadn't changed any

I bought my 06plate RX400 from Lexus Bradford in June and have found them to be excellent. They did the inverter recall on my car loaning me a new 450 and returning my car cleaned filled up with petrol and a bottle of champagne for me.

Hi I had the same service from West Riding Lexus in Bradford - very nice to find the car filled up with petrol, I was about to say that was about to say that's better than the bottle of champagne I got from a Toyota recall when she turned round with one. I must say that the service I have received since I bought the car last June has been superb.

I have had my 06 RX400 for about six weeks and have noticed the change in braking when going down hill it actually feels as if the ABS is kicking in but without the judder. I have not reported this as yet as I have no problem controlling it with extra pressure on the brake.

I have driven autos for 20years. I never leave the parking brake on on the flat but use it on hills or ferries. My last car prior to the RX was a Toyota LC5 land cruiser which I had for 7 years. I had no trouble with either the gear box or the brakes. I have always felt that leaving the parking brake on for long periods will cause 1) the cables to stretch & 2) the brakes to lock on, the same applies to my caravan, the parking brake is left in the off position once the legs are down, I have seen too may vans with locked brakes in the past.
