Lexus RX 2004-09 :: RX350 - Squeak Coming From Passenger Side Wiper Blades
Apr 16, 2014
I just took in my 2007 RX350 to the Lexus dealer for a "once over" as I recently purchased it, as well as a squeak that was coming from the passenger side wiper blades.
After several replacements (including the high end Rainx and Michelin from Home Depot) the squeak would not go away.
Lexus indicated that the "aftermarket" blades were causing the problem and I needed Lexus blades.
I pushed back as they were about $120 for both, but, much to my surprise no squeak.
Not sure what the OEM blades are and I guess I could have researched it more, but, was at my witts end with the squeak.
Anyway, that fixed the problem.

My passenger side wiper stopped working. Still attached but does not move. Are there two motors? Can't figure it out...

Since when I bought the car (used) if the windshield isn't really wet, the wiper blades skip across the surface of the windshield and make a lot of noise. This occurred before and after I replaced just the wiper rubber.

Odd problem has arisen in my wife's Passat. It's a sort of "chirp" or squeak that seems to be coming from underneath the passenger side dash. It only makes the noise while moving (whether it's 1mph or 100mph) but it's still intermittent and doesn't seem to happen under and exact driving conditions (happens most frequently when turning at low speeds, but can also happen rolling straight down the highway).
My first though would be the blower motor, sometimes it happens with the A/C off. I took it to the shop a few weeks ago and of course it stopped making the noise on the way there and it started back up on the way back. So now it's in the shop again.. Anyway, I managed to catch it on video [URL] ....

There's been a reoccurring squeak and click coming from my passenger side for a while now recently it has been a lot more consistent. For the longest while I'd thought it was my springs/swaybar or something generally just not being tight. Suffice to say I was surprised when I jacked up the front of my car to do an oil change today and happened to catch a glance to the rear while working under there. One of the four subframe bolts in the rear (passenger side, closest to the rear of car, not the one next to the control arms) is apparently no longer doing it's job.
The subframe was hanging free of the body there as though no bolt was there, but upon inspecting the bolt in the subframe itself it is torques to spec (74 lb/ft). So whatever it should be attaching to up in the car is apparently no longer doing it and if I feel around the back of the subframe and rubber bushing I can feel a nut that I suppose should be up in car to accept the thread of the bolt. The hole above the frame doesn't appear broken or deformed, what gives? I've never torques this bolt or removed it, I can only assume the damage was done to it long ago and has just been getting worse ( I've only had the car for a year now). Is there so kind of rivnut type action that I can insert up into the hole, do I need the dealer to fix this for me?

Our 2010 AWD RX350 developed a rear differential oil leak (passenger side) at the drive shaft lip seal. Has 80,000.

I can usually track these down, but this one is eluding me. It seems to be coming from the rear passenger side and really only bad when turning left or veering left at slow speeds.

Having issue with seat belt buckle vibration, passenger side, when the vehicle speed is between 40-50 miles/hr ? It feels like an exhaust vibration transferred through the floor connection of the seat belt. How can I get rid of it ? The vibration feels like a cell phone set on vibrating and is very annoying for the passenger.

Where another 09 owner had what he thought was a cold weather related squeak coming from the passenger side dash / windshield area. Mine does this and it's highly annoying. Here's what I've observed:
- seems to happen in cold temps, though I can't say what "cold" is...<40F perhaps?
- noticeable over bumps or whenever the car frame twists as a result of uneven road surface
- source seems to be the dash / windshield interface on the passenger side
- it's *possible* it may be coming from the top of the windshield as well
- it's very noticeable and highly irritating
Either with an 09 or earlier model? I cut a pool noodle and shoved it down between the glass and dash hoping the pressure would relieve whatever is rubbing. It appeared to work until the temps dropped into the 20s. Then it returned. I have a 2009 GLS, 5MT Sonata.

I have an O4 Phaeton here - the passenger wiper motor doesn't work.. After removing unit - verifying mechanical operation I've found that it's function just fine. However there is no power to connector. When wipers are running I supplied power with power probe and wiper operates just fine.
Cant find location and # for what I presume is a bad fuse. I looked for fuse diagrams all over and cant find one.

So there is a loud humming sound as I would describe, coming from the passenger side glove box when I turn my fan to run at high...

It was raining today and for some reason the passenger wiper can only go up 1/4 of its way. After 1 minute its just dead while the driver wiper works fine.

Mine do. Its really weird especially if I haven't been using the wipers at all and I arrive somewhere, shut the car off, and the wiper blades twitch. Just curious to see if this is normal.

Having issue with these wiper blades? My wife's touareg has less than 15k, but the wiper blades are streaking and otherwise less than useless. I have had the same wiper blades on my jetta for over 2 years with no issue. I have tried cleaning the wipers several times, but to no avail. Before I shell out $60+ on some wiper blades. I know I am gonna probably gonna have to get the new wipers.

Just recently was blessed with an 09 RX350. The driver side door is the only door that will lock and unlock.
The other 3 doors will only LOCK using the fob or interior switch... They have to be manually unlocked.
It's weird that's the drivers side is the only one that works.

The far end of my passenger side wiper has been leaving about a 2 inch wide arcing streak lately. I figured I needed new inserts, so I replaced them yesterday. The passenger side wiper is still streaking in the exact same place. I know I put the new inserts in correctly, including installing the little metal clip at the end of the insert. What could be the problem? Could I need a new wiper blade? Do those things go bad?

I am on my 3rd set of wiper blades trying to get rid of the skipping motion. I did not notice this problem with original. I bought one set at Autozone that skipped, went back and bought an expensive pair of blades, they skipped.
I bought the best wipers t, they skipped.
I just went to the dealer and got a pair of blades, they skip just as bad as all the others I've tried.
I have tried cleaning the windshield, This last time I used clay bar on the windshield but that made it worst. It would skip after each swipe after I used clay bar.
The last thing I done was use some waterless wash on windshield that has it temporally stopped skipping. The wipers run smooth so there is not a problem with any jerking or motion or anything like that.
I have 115K on 2011 Prius, not had a minute trouble out of it except for this skipping. I also have about 65K mile on this set of Michelin Energy saver A/S tires, they will go another 10K. I'm averaging 51 mpg Summer and Winter.

I was wondering if the wiper blades are controlled by two separate motors because the other day, I cut off my engine while the blades were half-way through their cycle leaving the blades exposed across the windshield. When turning the ignition back on, one of the blades starting moving slightly sooner than the other one. This may just be slack in the mechanism but it did raise a question for me. If this is the case, it might be a pretty neat safety feature.
