The fuel gauge issue is by design - did you not read the full thread??? And if your RX feels like a 10 year old car, you should certainly get it back to the dealer.

Let me just add to this. Besides that you have to fill up 14.5 gallons the real issue is that you actually HAVE TO fill up the car. If you roll down any of the windows noise inside cabin goes up exponentially that it is difficult to hear radio. What was Lexus thinking.

I also noticed that even after filling the tank, the level starts declining again as you drive. Is there a TSB on this??
