Default 2018 RX350 L - Brakes Degraded/Poor Performance

Hi All,

Was hoping any RX350L owners could share their experience with their brakes on their cars. I have a 2018 with low mileage (10,000) and should definitely not be having Issues with brakes on it! It feels like the brakes are just weak for the car for the size of the vehicle and the weight When hauling 4-5 passengers. Anyone else have issues or experience with the brakes being weak?

Thanks in advance. - J

I have a 2018 RX350 L with 11,000 miles and the brakes are great. They don't have any problems stopping.

Our 17 has 40k on the clock and still plenty of pad meat and braking power. Have your dealer check the system.

So far the brakes on the RX have been fine. I wouldn’t expect them to last on a track day but that’s not the right use case for this vehicle. Not sure about how you are using the term degraded.

Degraded from new or degraded with passengers aboard?

If you have 5 200+ lb passengers I’d imagine that would clearly have an impact on vehicle dynamics in every aspect including braking.
