It will be losing a slight amount of power from somewhere where it is either combustion related or even something simple like the aircon unit.Your not running with A/C on? this saps enough power from the car

wear to the outside of the tyre could indicate to a tyre specialist that the car recieves some serious cornering g-forces. but if this SUV is driven carefully then that should not have happened. when driving down a straight flat road let go of the steering wheel for just a second (make sure the roads empty first) and see if the car wants to lean to the right. it could mean you may have a wheel alignment issue. wear the the outside can also be possible if you are running your tyres on low pressure for extended periods of time (also does not sound likely if maintained) but if that is so you should see wear on the inside . there is also simply the fact that that tyre may be a bad batch from the factory in which case the tyre fitter will exchange it under warranty if he thinks that is the case. but my money is in the wheels alignment.

take it to a brake shop and have it looked over most places do an inspection of your system, It's worth it lexus is after all just a glorified toyota and they are having their share of recalls also. But it sounds to me like a cylinder in leaking or is at the end of it;s travel . which means your brakes are worn out. get it fixed! your life is on the line and maybe somebody else's if you drive it

Most of the time water dripping is normal. The catalytic converter "converts" exhaust gases into water vapor.The exhaust system also collects moisture when the engine is off.It depends on how much water and when. Are you adding coolant to the radiator ?

Really,you have to ask that questionI wouldn't think you would make 4 miles,before you run out of coolant,then who knowswhat damage will occur

There are a number of possibilities.1. If the compressor has a clutch, do you hear it engaging and disengaging? 2. The valve controlling the hot water going to the heater which mixes warm air with the cold air from the evaporator, is not working properly so it si not maintaining proper temperature.3. THe temperature sensor that senses air temp at the intake to the AC in the cabin is defective.4. THis is too comlicated to fix yourself, so you need to take it to an AC expert who knows this particular model.I have 2000 ES300

you must have a wire shorting out look for a bare spot of wire near the smoke
