Lexus RX 350 mold/leaky sunroof

Asked by Chris Aug 25, 2021 at 04:05 PM about the 2014 Lexus RX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

i all. First time poster.

My 2014 RX350 recently had a bunch of lights come on: Check AWD, TRAC
off, and check engine. My wife took it to the dealer this morning.

She said that she saw water on the driver side floor (after heavy rain from
the tropical storm).

Upon inspection, the dealer said that the sunroof water pump is leaking and
there is mold in the car. They essentially want to tear a bunch of stuff out for
mold remediation. The estimate is for $8800!?!?! Holy crap.

I'm not sure how he can diagnose mold from seeing a wet floor mat. I
attached the estimate which seems crazy to me. How is a coolant flush and
banjo gasket bank related to a leaky sunroof?

Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

The Sunroof clean up is only $6237.71 Typical? Lexus dealer 130 Route 10 West, Whippany, NJ fees! The other issues are power train NOT related to a leaking sunroof. Seriously, Toyota / Lexus is not what it once was you might what to locate a competent Auto advisor not affiliated with any manufacturer. (private)

I would garage it if you can. Maybe if you dry it out very thoroughly the problems will go away.
