premature rusting

My guess is that more people have this problem then they want to admit to. I just bought a 2009 RX350 and the front and the hood had a plastic coat applied to it. The previous owner did not give much of an explanation, but I guess that he must have had bad experience with his previous Lexus.

Its a common problem with Toyotas, but Toyota will never admit it.

I am having the same problem with my 2009 RX 350 and my dealer has not responded to my email as of yet.

rust comes from the backside of the panel in question ! salt laden mud buildup

Like this? 2009 lexus rx350. Also dash is melting leaving sticky residue. Also moonroof drain got blocked and flooded front passenger floor.

And bubbling

Left side of hood too.

I am a 2013 RX350 owner and I'm experiencing premature rusting with the handles and back door. Dealer repaired backdoor twice within the warranty from 2015-2018, now the backdoor has bubbling under the camera. Lexus dealer asked CAD$3900+tax to repair it:(
