2004 Lexus RX330 RX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When braking and going down from 3rd to 2nd gear, vehicle surges. I hesitate to take on highway as a I expect a rear end collision eventually!
19,000 miles and new tires are needed even though they were driven in normal conditions and rotated every 5,000 miles.
Engine is loud, sounds like tapping to due to low oil.
General comments?
Spent $42,000 on this vehicle, which was extreme and extravagant for us, only to have Toyota not acknowledge these known defects/complaints.
Will not buy a Toyota or Lexus vehicle again.
