Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2004 Lexus RX 330

Have had to replace radiator 3 times & will need a 4th at this time, since 2015, was bought used in 2014. !st replacement 2015 2nd) 2016, 3rd) 2017, and now needs again. many websites state many different problems related to my vehicle, as well as others of a new year ie; 2005, 2006. lexus claims vin is the only source to verify if needs fixing stated to me, yet a websource clublexus.com/forum shows a statement by lexus stating the issue is not by vin alone but by make model & year. a local radiator shop in western stated to me via phone that lexus dealership service for a while in past had ordered many, many radiators because as it was stated some kind of electrical issue was causing the antifreeze to become acidic and destroying radiator from within. this is another not well known issue with this model that seems to have not been made public that i can find. my radiator mechanic that replaced mine 2 of the 3 times stated that the radiator was leaking could not find any other issues in 2015, & 2017. this implies that the issue stated from previous stated website isn't even the issue that i'm experiencing. my closest lexus dealership is aware of the acidic problem based on statement given to me by the local radiator ship rep that i talked to.
