  • Unbelievable Lemon Lexus - 2004 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    I purchased the Lexus for mechanical reliability; unfortunately in the first week the gas tank had to be reattached because it was not bolted properly. Shortly after that the power steering pump had to be replaced; the radio stopped playing, the amplifier had to be replaced; the ignition system chimed after I removed the key, had to be replaced; then the radiator was recalled and had to be replaced. The transmission seemed confused at times when accelerating.I asked for a replacement car after the first incident in the first week;Lexus customer service said it was all covered under warranty and offered an extended warranty 6 mo later. I would not pay the extra money for a Lexus again.

  • Engine noise too loud - 2004 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    When accelerating the engine noise is loud and rough. It doesnt have the smoothness of a Lexus sedan. I wonder if Toyota forgot to put extra sound barriers around the engine. Paid a whole lot of money for a car that sound really cheap.

    It depends on what you want. More power and more comfy seats would be ideal. Other than that. Its great. My back hurts all the time from the seats, though.

  • Just Awesome - 2004 Lexus RX 330

    Just love everything in it.This is my first lexus product to own and am 100 % satisfied w/ everything, it delivers the whole package that I needed in an SUV. Just made right-not overdone.

  • Great Lexus SUV - 2004 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    It is a beautiful car. Im a previous Cadillac owner,the Lexus ride is truly outstanding. It handles like a dream. I looked at other vehicles, test drove them but found the RX 330 to be the best. I recommend owning a Lexus RX 330 if your in the market for a SUV/LUV.

  • Radio and CD - 2004 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    My Lexus only has 20,000 miles on it, but the CD player is already going out. I can only play one CD instead of the 6 that are available. I took it to a place I know is reliable (they work on car sound equipment) and he said it is almost gone. Other than that I love the car..

  • Some major problems - 2004 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    While I love driving my Lexus, I have had some major concerns with design problems and one significant safety issue with my rotors. Twice it was necessary to machine my rotors because of warpage from overheating and which caused significant and uncontrollable shaking of my steering wheel. Also, if only a rear window or sunroof window is opened, an intense vacuum is created in the interior which hurts my ears. I must open my drivers window to eliminate this vacuum -- very poor design! I have also had problems with my rear window spoiler weatherstripping, several scratches on the exterior finish, intermittent unworkable power rear door, and transmission surges and jerks from shifting.

  • Thank God I didnt buy the Caddy - 2004 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    I stopped into a Lexus dealer while testing the V8 SRX and am I ever glad I did. While not as powerful as the Caddy, the RX is much superior in every other way. Although the Infinity FX45 would have been my first choice based on looks alone, the rear seat room of the RX sealed the deal. (the kids appreciate the extra room) Great job, Lexus!

  • Great Ride!! - 2004 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    I have had this vehicle for 3 years with no problems! The rear camera works great and the ride is very nice. My only complaint would be its slight stall when accelerating other then that the best car I have ever owned.

  • Better than I thought! - 2004 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    This car rides smooth, is easy to handle and has excellent fuel economy. I had a Toyota Sequoia and cant believe the difference in gas consumption of the RX330. Turning radius is excellent and I feel that the vehicle is very safe.
