I have recently purchased a 2016 Lexus RX350. I love both the exterior and interior design along with the electronic driver aids. However, I am extremely disappointed with the excessive noise and vibration I have experienced from a standing stop.
This is my first purchase of a Lexus product and expected a much higher level of refinement.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I read there was GOOD NEWs back in November about Lexus coming out with a fix.
But it looks like Lexus Is just giving runs around.
Lexus Is not going to fix any problem with their current sales number.
I think if they were going to fix it, it would have been the 2017 model.

Less than 1100 miles on mine, and I'm noticing the drone more and more. Just ordered the exhaust damper Walt described earlier. Hope it fixes it. Not worth waiting for Lexus to come out with something.

I just had the opportunity to note the November sales numbers on the RX 350. The numbers have gone negative vs last year. I find the number interesting since this is a new model in a hot SUV market. Maybe the message is getting out. I sure hope so.

I finally got a damper on my RX, I can say that the droning noise is a little better. On a scale of 1-10, it was a 9 prior to the damper, now it's a 4-5. It's more tolerable to drive but I still notice it's there. I only put on one damper for now.

Wish i had read all these posts before making my 2017 RX purchase. Well I just noticed my new RX is having this issue as well and I am pretty sure the dealer will give me the same generic answer. I guess Lexus is not the same it used to be and not sure how a company that charges $50k a car can allow this kind of problem to go thru QC. I am going to tell everyone to not buy Lexus as this is just not acceptable.
