The 2006 and 2007 RX400h has the HV battery located under the seat, which is the low spot in the rear section of the car. If water is spilled or the body has a water leak, the water will pool at the center of the battery. Lexus considered this, and added a drain under the battery, but the drain has a filter, presumably to keep insects out, and the filter is easily clogged. This, coupled with a pattern problem of split body seams near the rear hatch strut mount causing a water leak in the rear of the car, has created isolation faults in many of the RX400h SUVs. The condition presents as warnings on the instrument cluster and a no-start condition where the vehicle is inoperable.

IT HAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES OR ENTER HIGHWAY ETC. WE HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND WE ARE VERY SCARED MOST OF THE TIME DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THIS KIND OF HESITATION OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN THE SUV TO THE LEXUS DEALER AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A NORMAL OPERATION OF THESE SUV'S. WE HAVE NO WHERE TO GO EXCEPT NHTSA TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST LEXUS LIKE RECALLING THESE CARS BEFORE THIS SITUATION CAUSES THE LOSS OF LIVES. THANK YOU.
