Safety & Tech

Common Problem

TL;DR
• Squeaky brakes are a common issue due to performance pads. • Some owners report issues with shocks and seat adjustment features ,. • Overall, the car is considered reliable with typical Toyota dependability.
Brake Issues
One of the most frequently mentioned problems with the Lexus RC F is squeaky brakes. This is often attributed to the high-performance brake pads used in the vehicle. While some dealerships may replace them, others consider it a characteristic of the car. Alternatives like Project Mu brake pads are suggested to reduce squeal and dust while maintaining stopping power.
Shock Absorber Concerns
There have been reports of shock absorbers failing or leaking on the RC models, which can be a concern for potential buyers. It's advisable to check the service history for any repairs related to shocks when considering a purchase.
Seat Adjustment Features
Some users have experienced issues with the "easy exit" feature not functioning properly, where the seat does not move back automatically upon exiting the vehicle. This is typically resolved by visiting a dealership for repair.
General Reliability
Despite these issues, the Lexus RC F is generally praised for its reliability, thanks to its Toyota engineering. The only major known issue across the Lexus RC line is a potential valley plate coolant leak, but this is not specific to the RC F model. Owners appreciate the car's performance, comfort, and the V8 engine, although the handling is sometimes criticized compared to other sports cars.
Cost of Ownership
While the RC F is reliable, potential buyers should be aware of higher costs associated with brakes, tires, and fuel consumption. However, many find these costs justified by the car's performance and luxury features.
