Hissing noise while A/C is on. Lexus regional rep at dealer at time of repair and he noted that other 2016 RXs are having the same problem. Of two cars on the lot, one other had the same hissing noise. Not repairable at this time. 
A/C gurgling/hissing noise addressed in a Lexus Service Bulletin by replacing A/C hoses and expansion valve. Noticed first day had car, took it in three days later. Dealer advised us a TSB would eventually be issued. Took eleven months. Noise repaired so  Rear liftgate ECM replaced under a Lexus campaign. Functionality of rear liftgate when placing hand over Lexus logo is greatly improved. We never took it to the dealer for that issue but it was noticed after a few weeks of ownership.
