Buying Tips for the Lexus RX (AL10)

  • On RX 450h models, listen for a barking or squawking noise when repeatedly pressing the brake pedal while stationary; that is the classic warning for actuator trouble.
  • Inspect the radiator and lower front crossmember for pink coolant staining, especially on cars that have towed or spent time in heavy traffic.
  • Check every electric adjustment, and on higher-spec cars make sure any air suspension rises and settles evenly without warnings.
