| Lexus RX in Florida, United States Jan 2019 - Jun 2022 | |||
| Jun 201920000 mi | My Lexus had a weird vibration around 2000 RPM. About June 2019 after I got tired to hear my Lexus acting like a Sports car. I search the web and found that this problem is unique to some 2016 Rx 350. In Lexus Owner's club I found a technical Bulletin about this problem and how to fix it. Took it to Lexus and they were amazed, not only that they did not know about it, but the Master Mechanic took my papers and examined the drawings and then asked me: Do you really want to do this? What it is is a 2"x2"X1-1/2" heavy rubber part attached to the bottom of the exhaust pipe ahead of the catalithic converter on a rod extension welded to the exhaust!! As a matter of fact I already built one as per others on the web, however I preferred the factory edition. It reduced the vibration by 50 percent, not more. | ||
