  Engine noise too loud - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Signman - September 9 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Slow in show - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By johoba - November 9 - 10:00 am

  I bought this baby and loved it. Now Im think on trading it in for Acura MX. I found the acceleration slowing down. Its getting sluggish and the pedal is getting stiffer.

  Dont buy lexus - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By 777 - December 31 - 10:00 am

  I owned 2004 rx330 for 2 years now pies of crap! I had a BMW that I trade for Lexus and that was the biggest mistake in my life transmission is crap! Stereo system broke doesnt read cds getting error 3 and 4 when then something is knocking inside the dashboard pretty loud, behind the stereo you take your Lexus to the dealer services and tell them whats wrong they dont want to do anything just tells you that thats the way its should be but its really not! Never get Lexus again

  Dont waste your money - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Watch out. - November 26 - 10:00 am

  The vehicle handle perfect when I drove it off the lot. After a feel weeks later I notice the on board systems started to fail. The dealership could not rectify the problem but offer to change out the entire components. I notice now the vehichle doesnt respond as well. The on board computer became really mess up. More shop time was needed. In the process, the service department mess up the paint job and had to bring it to the body shop for repainting. The vehicle does not handle well on turns.

  The Flip Side - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By TAAWN - July 4 - 2:00 am

  One very noisy car. Had to modify/insert shocking absorbing material to eliminate rattling noise inside the car. No one knew what the problem was. Then window rattled and had to secure the harness inside the door. you need to turn up the volume so high to listen to CD. Then you better make sure that you turn it back down to listen to your radio. Not worth your money. With $40,000, you can do better!

  Rattle and thud - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By 2nd and final Lexus - June 22 - 10:00 am

  Has been in the shop to fix rattle for three days. It has come back again. Transmission is not smooth at all and transfers with a thud. Dealership tried to fix it and replaced the software to no avail. Very disappointed! Dealership and service department are great

  DO NOT BUY 2004 RX330 - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By edev31 - May 16 - 2:00 am

  HUGE disappointment and waste of $44k. Taken back to dealer 4 times since July for rattles they cant fix (ripped out dash twice) jerky transmission that "clunks" when you come to a stop, loud wind/road noise-it sounds like a window is open. Loud,ticking noise from engine. Lexus says this is "normal" although their ES330 with the same engine does not have this noise. DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE.Dealer admits there are many problems with the new RX330. Many others are having the same problems.I would hope that Lexus would adhere to their bogus "Passionate Pursuit of Perfection" and stop production until they can produce a quality vehicle.

  Buy something else. - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Sade - February 13 - 10:00 am

  Look, I owned this SUV for two months and all I can say is that I bought my RX330 based on the name of Lexus. Dont make the same mistake. The turns are sloppy and the engine noise is horrific. Rides a little bumpy, maybe due the fact they lowered the clearence.

  Lexus Engine failure at 23K miles - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Ikanutlose - May 4 - 10:00 am

  Not only did this piece of garbage blow upwith little mileage, the dealer would not honor the warranty. The Toyota leasing company promised to inspect the vehicle but didnt see fit to do so after 6 months of calls. I will never buy another lexus or toyota product again. Btw, on the toyota website they mention the engine design flaw which caused this problem but take no responsibility for it. Just bums.

  The RX 330 "has no clothes!" - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By "..has no clothes!" - September 27 - 8:16 am

  Seats do not compare to our Porsche or SAAB. Tilt function is simply inflation of seats leading edge. Arm rest way too short to be useful. Major fatigue on long trips, never really get adjusted. Lines of sight to check for vehicles in prep for lane change are awful. Again, comparison is to SAAB and Porsche. Throttle response delay is shameful and dangerous. Toyota excuses it as computer seeking correct response -- lame. No road feel. Wind noise and engine noise unacceptable for Lexus -- had an LS 430 that was whisper quiet. It was great in all respects -- this 330 is not great in any respect -- below average in many. Sorry we bought it within a month of purchase date.
