I've been a Toyota guy forever. We're finally looking at a used 2017 RX in Tampa this weekend. My logic was they're basically bulletproof but I'm seeing weird stuff about the 8-speed transmission hunting gears and door lock actuators.

Are there other mechanical gremlins I missed?

Honestly, I have been very satisfied with my 2017. It works well and I dont have any complaints about the reliability. To be safe, you should look for these:

Timing cover oil leaks can happen, so peek under there.

Check the battery health since Tampa heat is rough on them.

Use a BlueDriver Bluetooth Pro OBD2 Scan Tool to scan for hidden codes. Its a very solid choice and feels safe.
