CAR WAS PARKED AND A FIRE BROKE OUT UNDERNEATH THE CAR. FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT IT OUT AND SAID THERE WAS LEAKAGE, BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. I HAD CAR TOWED TO LEXUS DEALER IN LEXINGTON KY.

AS OF 3/18/2016 I PURCHASED AN NEW RADIATOR FOR A TOTAL OF $945 AT MCGRATH LEXUS DEALERSHIP IN CHICAGO ON DIVISION ST BECAUSE THE OLD RADIATOR WAS LEAKING. AS OF 3/31/2017 THE NEW RADIATOR IS NOW LEAKING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OVER HEATING. AS OF 4/1/2017 THE TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP FOR THE STEERING WILL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TODAY 4/1/2017 MCGRATH LEXUS DEALER STATED I WILL COST AT LEAST $1200 WITH LABOR INCLUDED FOR THEM TO REPAIR. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON RECALLS FOR MY 2004 LEXUS RX330 I DISCOVERED THESE REQUIRED REPAIRS ARE LEXUS DEAKER RECALLS. WHY WOULD MCGRATH LEXUS CHARGE ME IF THESE ARE RECALLS ON MY LEXUS.

TRANSMISSION HAS A HARD TIME SELECTING A GEAR BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD. IT STARTS TO GO INTO 3RD GEAR THEN JUMPS OUT FOR A SECOND AND THEN SLAMS BACK INTO 3RD. USUALLY WHEN LIGHTLY ACCELERATING. VERY NOTICEABLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND WAS TOLD I MAY JUST NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION!! IT ONLY HAS 108,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM WITH A LEXUS! THAT AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS DIAGNOSED AS BAD AS WELL! IT'S LIKE THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN IS GARBAGE!! VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH LEXUS AND I HOPE THEY WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH ME. I DON'T WANT TO BE ON A TRIP WITH MY FAMILY AND IT BREAK DOWN ON US WHEN I PAYED FOR RELIABILITY.

MY WIFE (WHO IS NOT THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE) WAS ENTERING A PERPENDICULAR PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A BUSINESS LOCATED JUST OFF THE STREET. THE BUSINESS WAS ONCE A HOUSE AND HAS NOW PUT 3 PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING JUST OVER THE SIDEWALK.THE ENTRANCE IS UP A DRIVEWAY AND JUST BEYOND THE SIDEWALK AND INTO THE PARKING SPACES. AS SHE WAS GOING UP THE DRIVEWAY AND TURN SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT TO ENTER A PARKING SPACE, THE CAR HESITATED AND THEN ACCELERATED, SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND LEFT A 5 FOOT SKID MARK BEFORE CRASHING INTO THE FRONT OF THE BUSINESS. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS BEFORE ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING AND APPLYING A LITTLE GAS, IT WILL HESITATE AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATE, BUT NEVER CONTINUING AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKE. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PREVIOUSLY WITH THE LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT COMPUTERS THAT CONTROL THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY ADJUST TO THE PRIMARY DRIVER MAY CREATE THIS ISSUE, BUT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED....UPDATED 09/08/15*BF UPDATED 12/3/15

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED 3/2011. ON 10/26/14 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE CAR BEGAN MAKING A WHINING NOISE & THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED. WOULD ONLY GO FORWARD A FEW FEET, BACKWARD A FEW FEET & THEN NOTHING. HAD THE CAR TOWED & DISCOVERED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION IN 2002 RX300 & KNEW THAT YEAR MODEL WAS NOTORIOUS FOR BAD TRANS BUT HAD RESEARCHED THIS YEAR MODEL & TRANS PROBS DID NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE. AFTER DIAGNOSIS I RESEARCHED THE SERVICE RECORDS ONLINE & DISCOVERED THE TRANSMISSION HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED IN THIS SAME CAR ON 10/26/2010 AT 102K MILES. (HOW IRONIC - 4 YEARS TO THE DATE THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT AGAIN!) I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 103K MILES APPROX 5 MONTHS AFTER THE TRANS WAS REPLACED. MY CAR NOW HAS 196,625K MILES & THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD AGAIN. SPOKE WITH NALLEY LEXUS & WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THE TRANS IN 2010 WITH A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. NOW AT APPROX 94K MILES THE TRANS IS BAD AGAIN??? THIS DOES NOT SEEM NORMAL! I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOME REIMBURSEMENT FOR ME HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRANS IN THE SAME CAR AGAIN! SOMETHING IS MAKING THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT. AS EXPENSIVE AS THESE CARS ARE - YOU WOULD THINK THE PARTS - ESPECIALLY THE TRANSMISSION - WOULD HOLD UP BETTER.

MY STEERING STARTED GETTING STIFF AND MAKING A GRINDING SOUND WITHOUT WARNING. IT WOULD THEN DISAPPEAR AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I NOTICED THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE 90,000 MARK. I BOUGHT A LEXUS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SOLID BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS STARTING TO GO. I HAD TO REPLACE THE SUNROOF, AIR CONDITIONING PUMP, RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AFTER HITTING 80,000. I DON'T WANT TO PUT ANY MORE $$$ INTO THE CAR AT THIS POINT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM WORTH. ONE PROBLEM AFTER THE NEXT.

THIS IS OUR 2ND COMPLAINT REGARDING OUR 2004 RX 330. WE HAVE OWNED IT FOR 8 MONTHS AND HAVE PUT 7K MILES ON IT SINCE PURCHASE, AND IT ONLY HAS 85K NOW. SINCE PURCHASE WE NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING AND JERKING PROBLEMS AT ALL RATES OF SPEED WHEN STARTING/ DRIVING/STOPPING. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP TO ASK IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE, AND WAS ADVISED THEY COULD CHECK TO SEE IF THE PREVIOUS 1ST OWNER OF VEHICLE HAD EVER "UPGRADED" THE COMPUTER CHIP THAT CONTROLS THE SYSTEM. SO, WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY DETERMINED IT HAD NOT BEEN DONE SO WE PAID THE $100.00 FOR THE UPGRADE. WE HOPED IT HAD SOLVED THE ISSUE, BUT NOW IT IS EVEN WORSE. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK, I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND ACCELERATED TO CHANGE LANES AND PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. DURING MY ATTEMPT TO PASS WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, FOR 5 OR 10 SECONDS THE ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION FROZE AND IT WAS LIKE YOU WERE IN NEUTRAL GEAR, IT DID NOTHING, AND FINALLY WITH MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR IT KICKED BACK INTO GEAR AND I WAS ABLE TO PASS THE VEHICLE TO MY SIDE. IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME I'M SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT, AS THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION BUT NOT ACCELERATING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAD COMPLAINTS AND WERE AWARE OF THE ACCELERATION ISSUE, BUT HAD NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH IT "FREEZING" LIKE THAT. HE SAID THE TRUCK WILL JUST HAVE TO "LEARN MY DRIVING PATTERN", AND UNLESS TOYOTA DOES A RECALL IT WILL ALWAYS HAVE THESE ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, SOONER THAN LATER AND IT IS JUST NOT A "FLOOR MAT" CLIP FIX. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK SINCE IT'S A TOSS UP AS TO WHEN OR WHERE IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2004 LEXUS RX330 IN JANUARY 2013 AS THE 2ND OWNER WITH 78K MILES. WE BEGAN TO NOTICE AT LOWER SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL JERK FORWARD WITH NO WARNING WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, OR EVEN WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MAKING LAND CHANGES OR SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC. WE HAVE A 2001 LEXUS RX 300, AND IT NEVER HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND WILL BE CONTACTING OUR LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW, SO IT CAN BE DOCUMENTED. SINCE READING OTHERS COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS THAT LEXUS IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THIS ISSUE, WE MAY BE LOOKING TO TRADE IT IN AND GO BACK TO THE HONDA CRV, WHICH HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, WE JUST LIKED THE LUXURY OF THE LEXUS, AND WANTED AN UPGRADE, NOT A VEHICLE THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH NO WARNING.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2005 LEXUS RX 330. I PURCHASED IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED IN 2007. I WAS COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT. AS I PROCEEDED TO TAKE A LEFT HAND TURN THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE. IT WAS JUMPING AND SHIFTING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL IT AND PULL INTO A NEARBY GAS STATION. I COULDN'T DRIVE IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST LEXUS SERVICE CENTER. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE TRANSFER CASE ON THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WENT. THEY OPENED UP THE CASE BOX AND METAL SHAVINGS FELL OUT! I GUESS THERE WAS NO TRANSFER CASE FLUID! SHOULDN'T A MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT POP ON OR A WARNING? IF I HAD CONTINUED ON THE HIGHWAY RATHER THAN GET OFF THE EXIT, IT WOULD HAVE ENDED BADLY! THE BACK END OF THE CAR COMPLETELY LOCKED ON ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT THE TRANSFER CASE IS RUNNING OUT OF FLUID? THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $2700 FOR THE PART AND $1500 FOR LABOR! I ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. I HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING AND HAD I BEEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, I COULD HAVE FLIPPED THE CAR AND ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL OR DEAD. I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR LEXUS/TOYOTA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!

I AM HAVING SERIOUS QUALITY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 RX330. THE VEHICLE IS KEPT IN THE GARAGE AND BEING TAKEN CARE OF LIKE A FAMILY MEMBER. I TOOK THE SUV TO A LEXUS DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED - APPROXIMATE COST $1800. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED - COST ANOTHER $1000. THIS IS NOT THE END! APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO MY WATER PUMP FAILED AT THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND I HAD TO REPLACE MY WATER PUMP, TIMING BELT, DRIVE BELTS, ETC ONLY AT 65K MILES - COST $1200. WHY EVERY MAJOR KEY COMPONENTS ARE FAILING SO EARLY? I DROVE A CAR MADE BY A COMPETITOR UPTO 110K MILES WITHOUT ANY OF THESE ISSUES. LEXUS/TOYOTA IS USING DEFECTIVE/CHEAP PARTS AT THE EXPENSE AND SAFETY OF CONSUMERS. I WOULD RECOMMEND STARTING AN INVESTIGATION AGAINST LEXUS/TOYOTA FOR FAULTY STEERING AND POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS IN RX, AND BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION, START A RECALL IF NEEDED. I REACHED OUT TO LEXUS IN THE PAST, BUT THEY DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE ANY QUALITY PROBLEMS WITH RX330; HOWEVER, WHEN I SEARCHED THE INTERNET, I SEE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND THEY ARE HELPLESS. LEXUS WILL NOT DO ANYTHING, AND THEREFORE, WE NEED NHTSA'S HELP TO PUSH LEXUS TO RECALL RX330 STEERING AND POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS.

I WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE ON A RAMP AND LEFT THE CAR IN GEAR (DRIVE) AND AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED BACK INTO ANOTHER CAR. THE LEXUS 330 IS SUPPOSED TO PROHIBIT ONE FROM REMOVING THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION WHEN IN GEAR. MY CAR CONTINUES TO ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY (ENGINE OFF) WHILE IN DRIVE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT MY LEXUS IN 2007. IT IS A 2004 RX LEXUS 330 IT HAD 31,000 MILES WHEN BOUGHT. SINCE I HAD THE CAR MY RADIATOR WAS BROKEN AND THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT UNDER WARRANTY. BEFORE THIS I REMEMBER STOPPING TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE FELT THE CAR WAS STALLING AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WRONG ITS JUST I HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT THE WAY I DRIVE WITH SPEED. NOW IN 2010 I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STALLING OR LAGGING WITH THE RPM AND A LITTLE NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I REALLY THINK THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS OR DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I READ ALOT OF REVIEWS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AND THE CAR DOESNT EVEN HAVE THAT MANY MILES. I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON THIS CAR AND THEY SHOULD TAKE THIS PROBLEMS IN CONSIDERATION REALLY.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE PERIODICALLY (APPROX. WEEKLY) SURGES BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE PURCHASE IN OCT. 2003, AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, UP THROUGH THE PRESENT DATE. FOR YEARS I COMPLAINED VERBALLY, AND WROTE LETTERS AND E-MAILS TO LEXUS. THEY FIRST DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEN CHANGED TACTICS AND BLAMED IT ON ME, THEN SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS OR IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEN LEXUS FINALLY ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM--"OFF THE RECORD," BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. EVERY TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, THEY WOULD INSTALL COMPUTER UPDATES TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM--WHICH IT DID NOT. YEARS AGO, I RESEARCHED THROUGH GOVERNMENT RECORDS AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME KIND WITH 2004 LEXUS RX 330S. IN LIGHT OF RECENT RECALLS OF TOYOTA VEHICLES, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY SOMEDAY TURN INTO THE SAME UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING WITH OTHER TOYOTAS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR!
