My 2004 Lexus RX330 has horrible paint issues on the front bumper. Paint started chipping off in huge sections and it looks terrible. This has only happened on the front bumper and the rear view mirrors. Seems like the paint is defective in these area's. so disappointed. Also the transmission is messed up. Seems like it hops in between 1-2 RPM. I even had the transmission rebuilt and it still didn't fix the issue. It still does it. I have heard that this is a major issue with these vehicles.

The dashboard began to melt. Literally. I tried to wipe it off and the towel melted into the dashboard the dealership blamed it on armor-all. The car was about 7 Y/O at the time. I am the second owner. I did not research this until I saw a program that suggested the airbags may be affected. Thank you.

2004 Lexus rx 330 that has been taken to dealer on several occasions concerning the vibrating the car does at speeds of 65mph or more. The care does not do it all the time and rarely does it in within city miles. But once on the highway, the vehicle starts violently vibrating which makes it hard to try and keep the car steady on the highway. The sound of the engine changes and the speed drops down to around 60 while the episode occurs and then out of the blue it clears and the car drives normal. I have contacted Lexus regarding the problem and the dealership claims they cannot find anything. I want this information on record in case of an accident and something happened to me while driving this car or to someone else as a result of the vibrating episodes. Last occurrence was January 21, 07. I have not been back on the highway since then but occurrence was also on Dec 17 while on the highway, Aug while on the highway, Mar, may, July all while on the highway, it even occurred in Feb after picking it up from the dealer and the problem was supposedly taken care of. I don't know what els to do here but report the problem to you all.

My Lexus RX330 (2004) has 20,000 miles and the A/C has a foul odor which the dealership said is mold. They said the problem occurs when using recycled air function with the ac and said the manufacturer says not to use it because it allows mold to grow. They sprayed ac system w/ ac odor treatment. I think the mold is a safety problem as many people are allergic, and this is a defect with the ac system. Service dept said the problem is occurring with other luxury cars (Jaguar, BMW).
