Lexus RX350 Steering problems by year

The suv pulls hard to the right when accelerating and has almost driven me off the road. it does it at random times and its super dangerous

When parked and turning the steering wheel or driving at low speed you hear a clunk / clunck noise vehicle makes knocking noises as it jumps up and down (bumpy) or vibrates when driving You can also feel it in your hands. Also it rattles and makes noises when turning. It feels like there is no lubrication. The drive feels not only unstable but also is very distractive while driving. Took car to Lexus and was told it is steering column or shaft or both; quote around $4000 with labor. Seems like a lot of people had same problems and the steering is manufacturing defect that should be recalled as a safety concern.

Electrical system malfunction began (to my best calculation & recollection) in summer 2021 with the first of four battery malfunctions in one year. Each time, AAA discovered low battery response and recommended battery replacement. This time around, battery was replaced about two weeks prior, due to battery failure/AAA reporting would not accept charge. THE NEW BATTERY FAILED (8/3) and the starter broke while attempting to charge. Mechanic repaired starter and battery accepted the charge. No problem, right?...

On November 19, 2021, I purchased a vehicle from cars Lane on Hanover Road in Annapolis Maryland. Upon driving back to my residence in Gaithersburg I noticed that there was significant shaking when the vehicle was driven over 60 miles an hour. I notified the dealership and seemed helpful at first. I took the car to a good year facility and pay to have an alignment. That seem to fix one of the issues however there were several more and many more I was later to find out. As well, the vehicle was also hard to steer...

The Power steering had started to feel hard and squeaking some time ago. I was driving day before yesterday and I noticed a few times that the steering was very difficult to turn which could have been dangerous. While doing some research I found that this has happened to some RX models. I went to the dealer and they told me that there is no recall for this issue and any fix would be out of pocket.

I recently took my newly baught 2008 lexus rx 350 in at a lexus dealership for routine maintenance. I didn't notice and steering issues or leaks but was told I needed a new rack and pinion. Since its lexus dealership I respect their inspection and recommendation...But like many others...It turns out the rack and pinion on the rx 350 is common ( too common ) and I have read many people writing a complaint to nhtsa. I don't see any resolution or explanation to the " same " complaints. I also have to pay $1,800 + and...

My 2009 lexus rx350 has 84000 miles on it and I have just found out that the rack and pinion is leaking oil. The car has been well taken care of and carefully driven since it was bought brand new so it is a surprise. After searching online, it turns out it is a very common problem and a safety issue. A lot of people have voiced their concern while lexus has not recalled this 2009 model as they have done for 2008.

I was told I need a new rack & pinon due to leakage with less than 92,000 miles on the vehicle. I bought the car used just 2 years ago and had all regular maintenance records from previous owner & dealer service. Have had regular service since purchasing it - which is how issue was discovered. Will cost over $1500 to repair. Upon doing some investigation on-line, I see I am not the only owner experiencing this in under 100,000 mileages.

My dealer just told me that the steering rack kit leakingand needs to be replaced immediately. This common problem in lexus,if there is a problem with this, lexus should be paying for it, not me. The quote is for $1315

During routine car maintenance, I was notified by the toyota technician that the rack and pinion assembly was leaking power steering fluid and needed to be replaced in order to maintain safety operation. The mileage at the time of failure was 86,817. The technician stated that the only fix for this issue was to remove and replace the entire rack and pinion assembly at a cost of $1,700. I believe that this is a design defect and should have been recalled by toyota, given the number of failures I have found reported on the nhtsa website. It appears to be a common problem with other lexus rx350 owners from various years.
