  Not A Usual Lexus - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Ex Lexus Lover - June 16 - 2:00 am

  The RX330 is not of Lexus quality. This car has a lot of great features but they are not enjoyable with the roar in the rear end and the wind noise from the new design.

  Unrefined RX330 - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Johnnie - June 10 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle is for people who do not want quick acceleration and solid corning. The vehicle leans too much when turning, and the acceleration is horrible. The drive-by-wire feature needs to be redesigned to allow the driver to be the decision maker, instead of some computer programs. There are also various interior squeaks and rattles. Very un-Lexus.

  My Lexus - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Timothy - May 30 - 10:03 am

  My wife and I purchased this vehicle for her, and since I must drive it periodically I feel free to comment on it. I am somewhat disappointed with the performance and handling aspects of this vehicle, it handles almost as badly as my Isuzu and no where near as well as my Benz. The transmission and the parts cost are my single major complaints, as well as the service intervals, which for a vehicle of this so called caliber should be less frequent. The transmission really feels like an old Yugo with a stick, too much jerky and choppy. I would not purchase another Lexus until they could assure me that this and the maintenance intervals are more rational.

  Lexus blew it with the RX 330 - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Indiana driver - January 10 - 7:50 pm

  This vehicle is a huge disappointment! We had an 01 RX 300 that was perfect. This vehicle has horrible wind noise. The seat heater switches are hard to use and poor quality. The tires are worn out with less than 25000 miles. I recently drove it to Oklahoma, 900 miles one way, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable. My passenger told me they would never ride in the Lexus again. The rear windshield wiper is lousy.

  Warning Problem with Rotors - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Wally - January 5 - 5:10 pm

  The rotors had to replaced at l4000 miles after the steering wheel began to shake. At 27000 miles I was driving down a 8 mile 7% grade in third gear and needed to brake because the traffic slowed, the steering wheel suddenly shook so badly that I had to pull over and let the rotors cool before proceeding. Rotors were replaced for a second time. If you have paint chip on the bumper do not take the RX330 through a high pressure car wash as the paint may peel off the bumper as it did in my case. Lexus will do nothing about. It is your problem even if the car is within warrentee. I feel the vehicle is unsafe because of the rotor problem. I would not suggest buying one.

  Safety Problems - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Shankadelic - April 10 - 2:00 am

  Great car, but the headlights are very, very unsafe, lacking any light dispersion. But for the light issue, and, as a result, my wifes unwillingness to drive at night, its a good car. We had a few problems with the computer when we started, and there was a recall for a manifold problems.

  Forget it take the lost - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Lawrence Liew - January 7 - 2:00 am

  Paid $46,000. Dealership should makes enough profit to cover all services cost. Five times within 9 months return for the same porblem. I guess this is why you drive or own a luxury car. Becasue you dont need to go to work got too much extra time to kill. I am very disappointed with this new world class lexus RX330. It does cost too much for a bag of LEMONS. Dealer no help or not even try to help at all. What a service means?

  What have I done to deserve this - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By RX330Guy - August 27 - 2:00 am

  Bought my RX330 with the thought that this car would last me for years. Thought the Lexus name stood for quality but I have experienced the following problems: DASHBOARD - The COWL rubs against the dashboard and makes popping and rattling noises. Though there is a COWL kit that now exists for this problem, it has not alleviated all the problems. I have taken my car in 4 times with no avail. Also, the glove box rattles when going over bumps. Lexus lined my glove box with felt and has helped to some degree. FAULTY TRANSMISSION Drive a loaner car and listen for the dashboard noises.

  Horrible blind spot - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By tercot - July 21 - 2:00 am

  The 2004 models side-rear windows are narrow causing a terrible blind spot when backing out of a parking lot. Also, the rear door can only be opened with the remote key, meaning that if you are carrying things, you have to put them down and dig in your pockets or purse to find the key. Very inconvenient. This is not a female or Mom friendly car.
