What owners wrote
Steering keeps getting locked up. This time that it happened, it would not reverse itself and had to have it towed into the lexus dealership.
Dealer mentioned power steering leak in 2014, again in 2015 and previous owner of vehicle took it in to have it looked at due to complaint of problems with power steering in 2012 with water pump and timing belt were changed. My local dealer is stating the repair will cost at least $1000 to repair. Despite recalls on the internet, it seems that the investigation of the 2005 lexus rx 330 needs to include vehicle manufactured in canada (mine states canada).
