Warning Problem with Rotors

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.

Bought the 2004 Lexus because I drove the RX 300 and loved it. Yet this car has disappointed. The transmission lags horribly! Going from a stop, you press on the gas with no response and then a huge lurch forward. We took it into the dealer and explained the problem and they insisted nothing was wrong and it was "how they all run". Only to talk to them 4 years later and they admit that this car was underpowered. However, the styling, space, and comfort was exceptional.
Rattle and thud

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

Don't trust other reviews. This vehicle has many issues impacting driveability, reliability and safety. We've had to replace the power steering rack on ours several times due to leaks that would have eventually resulted in an unsafe failure state. The throttle response is terrible, and the vehicle tends to lurch and surge when you least expect. Transmission hunts, skips and juggles gears resulting in rough and unpredictable on-power drive feel. The radiator is known to burst as well. The anti-roll bar mounts are prone to cracking along the length of the part, suggesting poor quality cast parts in the suspension. This car should never have made it into production, avoid at all costs.
