2004 Lexus RX330 review from North America
"Don't buy rx330 (2004) no fix for tran yet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hi! I bought rx330 (2004) in January 2008. Since the time I bought the vehicle, I felt jumping in the transmission sometimes & delay in shifting most of the time while driving in the city.
I took the vehicle to the dealer three times, they tried to re-flash the Ecu, then updated the Ecu, & re-flash the Ecu during my three visits. Every time I went to the dealer, I had to pay the money for the work they did on the vehicle.
The vehicle still has a problem & its seems to be worse than before after re-flash.
I spoke to the Service Manager at the dealership & he replied that I am not the only one who has this problem, May be I need to change my driving habit to put the vehicle in 4th gear (I don, t know what does it mean).
I called Lexus Canada & the review team said they cannot do anything.
If anyone has problem with rx330 please email me at hbhatia_98@yahoo.com because I am going to take this matter to the higher level to find a solution for the problem. I cannot accept to buy such an expensive car which comes with a driving training or some sort of expalanations.
