My wife's key also fell apart in her purse when the car was barely 2 years old. I found out then that Lexus was the only option to buy a new key -- at $200.00 not including programming and tax. > The RX 300 key is one of those integrated devices where the door lock > button etc are a part of the key.

BTW, I now make it a practice to always get the Lexus dealer to throw in 2 or 3 extra "master" keys when I buy a new car. They are more than willing to do this at no charge then. Especially when I point out that the failure of their 'high tech' keys is a well known problem. > > Must be one of those dealership profit making designs that Lexus is > > becoming famous for.

I made an issue of it when my wife's broke -- they reluctantly replaced it at no charge as a courtesy. But, the keys are not under warranty. |
