So then why do you think he opened this thread......just to hear himself b***h? He could have done that in any of a number of other auto forums. Even if he did do a lousy job of presenting his case (which, BTW, I agree with you on), I still think he wanted our specific input here on CL....not for us to just sit back and ridicule him.

I've been around forums like this a long time. Input is not what posters like this are looking for. It's attention it's a classic troll post and disappear thread.

And, with that, I'm off to bed. It's past midnight here on the East Coast, and I'm tired. So long,

This was something good to read. I love it when people tell their stories. I went and check the other website on the known problems. What i found ?
It only happen to model year 07-11. I am lucky to have bought my wife a newer Rx.
My 02 camry never did have any issue, and there was this one time that i had the oil on as much as 18,000 miles....blame me....and nothing ever happened.....regardless of cold and hot weather in ohio. I even drove it to Atlanta....had oil changed there, and the guy was like....what did you do to your oil ?.....8 years later, still running, 140k miles, sold it, and the mechanic said she would live to carry people for at least another 200k miles.
My 06 camry ? Never even had any issue at all, 110k miles.....hit a deer at 35mph on impact moment, broke a bumper, cracked the light housing, still run like a champ. My daily beater to go to work.
Anyways, there are two issues. If your car is out of warranty, older than 5 years...10 years, you cant expect them to perform free works....un-realistic
Even if it is under warranty, the diagnosis had to be performed by certified Lexus mechanics, and even the works.
Last time i check, Lexus road side assistance is all year round 24 hours a day.
Lastly, would take Lexus over anything else, even an Acura and Infiniti. Reason why my wife RX.
Good luck with your other choice, and i am sure you will come running back to Toyota or Lexus again.

Is this a used car? If it was new, why wouldn't you take it to the dealer under warranty?
Found this amazing video from the Orginal Poster: Although I really don't want to give it hits/views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmjtTIOOboM
I believe the hose you're referring to is RUBBER, not plastic.

And, if your wife kept driving because she ignored warning lights on the dash or obvious signs of trouble, that's on you, bro, not Lexus.
