Hi Guys, I purchased a pre-owned certified RX330 – year 2004 about a year ago from Lexus Greenwich, during last year since I got the car, I almost dropped it off every month at the dealer for some problems. But still there is a big issue, which I’m dealing with that since the second month after the purchasing the car. It’s regarding to the Clunking/popping sound when the car is shifting up between 30-40 mph speed and when the car is down shifting. Actually the dealer applied TSB#TC002-04-FP#3297-48030 to my car and also said that they applied all other transmission adjustment. But after couple months the sound came back, this time the sound is much lighter than before but it’s making me nuts. They test-drive the car with Lexus technician and they are keep saying this sound is the nature of all Lexus cars – no mater what model. I was wondering if any body else here has the same problem as me or it’s only my problem. If my car is the only defected one, then I’m planning to file a claim against them on National Center for dispute. Willing to hear from anybody, which has the same problem. Thanks,

Replying to: soul1350 (Feb 07, 2008 7:51 pm) When I purchased my rx330 I too had a "clunk" sound and there seemed a slight gap between hitting the brake and then the accelerator. It seems to go away probably with the TSB#TC002-04-FP#3297-48030 . However, they kept saying there was no clunk. So instead of their technicians taking out the car, I DROVE my car with their tech in the car. When the noise occurred I told the tech. After several times thru the service dept, correcting under warranty the sunroof failure to shut (2x), the clunk (1x), and the rattle in the dash, (4x) my rx330 which is still under warranty until 6/3/08, is now running fine. Suggest you drive and point out the issues and not trust their techs to do the driving. Good luck to all and stay safe. jensad

My 2004 RX330 has a strange noise when driving between 70-75 miles/hr on the freeway and when slightly pushing the gas paddle. The noise will be gone if the gas paddle is released. went to the dealer a couple of times because of it and was told the noise was from transmission, it's normal and it happens to all RXs. Does anyone have the same problem? Even if it does not hurt anything, it's still very annoying. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot...... Philip |

Replying to: jensad (Feb 08, 2008 11:45 am) thanks for your kind reply. I was wondering do you know what did they do beside TSB to your car. did you hear the noise after that or it's completely gone? thanx |

the maintenance book doesnt state that the atf should be changed at 60k miles. There is a band on the tranny filler that states not required to change fluid under normal driving. Dealer wants to change fluid..is this a $ generator for them or should i abide by the lexus written guidance. Should the tranny fluid ever be changed?
