What are some common problems with the Lexus RX 350?

I want a used luxury SUV, but I don’t want one of those gargantuan gas guzzlers. I only want a small crossover with all of the amenities. My budget permits me to buy a used Lexus RX 350, but I just want to make sure I’m not buying a money pit. Are there any common problems with the Lexus RX 350?
