Replying to: sltpigsfly (Jun 25, 2009 6:17 am) My warranty has expired. Do you think they will still cover that?   thanks Replies to this message: sltpigsfly (Jun 26, 2009 7:43 am)
#1684 of 1744 4 michelin tires worn out so quickly by martinm3 Jun 25, 2009 (9:26 pm)
My bought 4 michelin tires from Costco and put it on my 2004 RX330. They totally worn out just after 1 year. I can't believe it. What should I do?

Replying to: sltpigsfly (Jun 25, 2009 6:17 am) What does this loose molding look like?   with our 2004 RX330 with 41K miles, I hear some thing flapping while driving even at 40-50mph. I sounds like one of the luggage carrier racks is loose, but all luggage rack parts are tight in place.   This flapping noise from outside is annoying in otherwise very quiet ride. When I look at the rear ( left and right) quarter panel window moldings, they appear tight in place. Could it be that they are loosely in place and when wind goes around it then it starts flapping?   I have never had this type of noise from any other vehicle we have owned.   Thanks, Joe Replies to this message: sltpigsfly (Jun 26, 2009 7:50 am)

Replying to: martinm3 (Jun 25, 2009 9:22 pm) Yes, my warranty had expired. Also, for the individual who asked what the loose moulding looked like, it is the rubber around the rear passenger window area. In my case, it was on the passenger side of the car, and I could see it flapping when I looked in my right side mirror. Typically, you have to be going 50 mph or so to have the problem occur. Hope this helps!

Replying to: jodar96 (Jun 26, 2009 6:09 am) I thought of this after my prior reply . . . on my RX400h, I've had the moulding at the top of the roof come loose after going through drive through car washes with brushes or fabric scrubbers. You might look at those strips (there are two, running the length of the roof) to see if they are in securely. You can push them back in by hand, and that should solve your problem. Avoid car washes that aren't touchless!
#1688 of 1744 Loose Visors by silverghost1 Jun 30, 2009 (1:11 pm)
My 2004 RX330 has 110,000 miles and still going strong! The visors on both sides have worked loose. As I am many miles past having warranty coverage, I'd like to tighten them up myself, if possible. Anyone know how to do this?

Replying to: amchugh371 (Jan 19, 2009 3:11 pm) I have a 2005 RX330 with 35K miles, bought new. Replacing front discs at 35,160 miles. Rears still in good shape. Lexus says brake warranty stops at 1 yr/12,500 miles. Surprised and disappointed.

Replying to: 850cooker1 (Jul 21, 2009 9:46 am) That's pretty typical since brakes are a wear item and not everyone treats them gently. Front brakes do most of the work so it's normal for them to wear out faster than the rears too.

Replying to: 850cooker1 (Jul 21, 2009 9:46 am) No OEM brake pads should wear out at 12K miles unless you are driving a taxi or a delivery vehicle. or you have frozen caliper and/or hanging sliding pins. I would write to Lexus and ask them for help. While they want to stick to their official stand, they also realize that this is a premature wear.    I bought cermic pads for front and organic pads for the rear and put them on. It cost me $70 ( after $30 rebate) for front and rear pads. The pads on our 2004 RX with 41K were worn out in the rear with some left in the front. I could not tell whether the front pads were replaced once before we bought the car.    Replacing the RX pads has to be one of the easiest one I have done.
