Replying to: ccc4 (Feb 08, 2008 4:10 pm) Anyway, I took the car to the lexus dealer and told them I thought the noise was coming from the transmission.... they called me later and confirmed that it was the transmission and replaced it with a rebuilt transmission.. took a week, but it got resolved... car had 60K miles on it so still under factory power train warrenty so no cost to me. good luck with yours.

Replying to: ccc4 (Feb 08, 2008 4:10 pm) I have a 2004 RX330 with exactly the same problem, and I hate driving the car because of it. My wife mostly drives the car, and usually has the CD on all the time. I have had it to the dealer 4 times, along with a factory rep. They say it is normal, but I cannot reproduce it in a loaner car - it is not normal. I cannot accept this answer. I am thinking it now may be related to a motor mount vibration and making the way through the exhaust bracket, but that is a long shot. By the way, mine is the FWD version. I was encouraged by ckanesthesia reply that the transmission was replaced. PS: Mine also happens at a lower frequency . .more subtle at around 45 as well. Let me know if you heare more ok? -Mike

Replying to: mce (Mar 24, 2008 5:45 pm) My problem is mostly same as Mike, after more than 20 times dropping the car for this issue finally they drove the car with Lexus Tech and he said thats normal, which I don't believe it is. on the service invoice they mentioned the noise coming off of the drive line and it's normal. I think we all should take the next step and call National Center for Dispute at 1-866-272-4872 or 1-800-777-8119 EXT 115 to file a claim against Lexus which is not coming up with solution for this problem. I'm planing to file a claim by tomorrow as well and will keep you guys posted. |

Well, I always hear a luxury foreign car will cost you. I have a 2004 RX 330, just turned over to 56k miles. I'm the first owner, baby the car. I have had to replace the high performance tires at 40k miles, replace the radio at 45k miles, get a new battery at the same time. So now, my radio is not working again and the dealership will not replace it b/c it's a replacement part, is only good for 12 months or 10k miles. I'm furious. I paid way too much for this car to sink all of this $ into it. I understand oil changes, fluid changes, etc. Has anyone else had issues with tires and radio? I may trade this sucker soon. Love the car/size, but the maintenence is expensive and I'm liking Acuras even more.

Replying to: bladeturner (Aug 16, 2007 6:29 pm) I own 05 RX330 with 29k miles same exact thing is happening to me. Going back for second time, told me thermostat was sticking first time it happened not even 3 weeks ago. The month before I had my car in for service, tire rotation, oil change etc. and this happened after they had WORKED on it !!!! Wondering if you ever got to the cause. thanks |
