We have classified the 2 complaints from 2007 Lexus RX 400h about STRUCTURE into the following categories.
Rear latch cover has melted and makes it difficult to open the hatch using it.
The rubber cover for the rear hatch is "melting" very sticky and will not open the door.
Brakes did not apply as expected, experiencing a significant "push" while braking at low speed. it was so obvious that i had to step on the brake pedal to keep the car from running out into the car in front. this one time i crashed into front car. i took it to dealer to check the brakes, and he is saying they are hybrid and thats how they work. this is not acceptable as the brakes are meant to stop the vehicle with immediate effect. this is not happening with my rx 400h, i bought this car in sep 2014 and within 2 months i met with accident. i never had history of accident with other cars. *tr
Rear hatch handle/opener has completely melted. it started a few months ago, it was just a little sticky at first, then the black rubber started coming off on my fingers when i opened the hatch manually. the dealer told me that there is a service advisory out about this and that it is only happening in florida. this is an electrical and a safety issue. *tr
Rubber handle part to open the hatch back, became gooey like tar, and made a big mess. difficult to clean off of things and hands. progressively worsened. temporary repetitive solutions was to cut to fit black duct tape and totally cover the mess, but could still press the mechanism if necessary. mostly use remote now or the button in the driver's seat. last duct tape application is wearing off, and i need to go in to lexus for a recall service, so i decided to ask them about it, and how much it would cost. amazingly, the service man knew off the top of his head that they had the part in stock, and recalled how much the part and labor would cost! sounds like they've had a lot of these replacements!!! of course i'm not under warranty right now. *tr
