Replying to: battambangblue (Jul 09, 2004 6:36 pm) Did anyone ever figure out why the check engine and VSC lights came on and how to fix the issue? I'm dealing with the same issue. Thanks

I had seen this topic before on this site, but nobody seems to have answered why these lights came on. I would certainly appreciate any info. Thanks!

#1702 of 1742 Re: Window Moulding Blows Off [flstspringer] by football247 Aug 31, 2009 (3:10 pm)
Replying to: flstspringer (Aug 24, 2008 9:15 am) This has happened to me and since I have noticed about 4 other RX330"s missing the moulding on the rear quarter panel window. I was wondering if anybody know how wide spread this problem is and if Lexus is doing anything about it. When I went to my dealer they said they never heard of this problem and wanted over $300 because they said the entire window had to be replaced. I said no way for a $20 peice of moulding.

Replying to: lexus330vroom (Aug 21, 2009 6:52 am) Our 2004 RX 330 had this problem (Check Engine and VSC) twice since the end of June 2009. Dealer traced the problem to a faulty fuel filler cap. They cleaned it, cleared the code and I was on my way. They did say there was a chance it could happen again. If it do they would replace the fuel cap. It happened again and they replaced the fuel cap this past Tuesday.

Replying to: football247 (Aug 31, 2009 3:10 pm) This is a common problem and Lexus dealers know it very well. Our right rear moulding blew off 2 years ago. To fix, they would need to replace the entire window. I spoke with the glass replacement service that my Florida Lexus dealer uses. He said he sees the problem often, gluing it on does not work long-term and that I should contact lexus customer service. I contacted them by email and got a favorable reply. While they did not offer to replace the window and did not acknowledge a probelm, they did send me a credit that is good for anything (service or parts) at a Lexus dealer with no expiration. Meanwhile, I've kept the moulding and keep an eye out for an adhesive product that would work long-term.

Replying to: football247 (Aug 31, 2009 3:10 pm) This happened on my 2004 RX330 last year. I caught the problem before the molding fell completely off, so was able to save the piece. I went to a body shop yesterday, who glued the piece back on for no charge! Took them about 15 minutes. I won't do any business with Lexus ever again. Too many issues with a 'luxury' car to suit me.
#1706 of 1742 Trailer Towing w/RX 330 by kerrien Sep 08, 2009 (1:59 pm)
Hi: I've searched the posts already and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. So, here I am.   I installed a hitch on my 2004 RX 330, and I intend to tow a small 14-foot travel trailer (guessing the weight is ~1,500 lbs). The towing capacity of the vehicle and hitch is 3,500 lbs.   1. Has anyone had any issues with towing under similar conditions? Any tips/advice?   2. The tongue of the trailer pushes the back end of my vehicle down. I looked into installing a distributing hitch, but these types of hitches are not allowed for this vehicle. Does anyone have any information about reducing the pressure on the back of the vehicle, redistributing the weight, or adjusting the vehicle suspension?   Thanks in advance.

Replying to: kerrien (Sep 08, 2009 1:59 pm) Often trailer towing weight capacity of the vehicle assumes only driver and nothing else in the car. Once you have passengers, luggage, and some loading in the trailer you are at 3500 pound limit.   How much back of the RX is lowering? You think a 1500 pound trailer should not cause any noticeable lowering. Anyway, assuming you are not towing more than 2-3 times a year, less than 2000 miles each time, and not through hilly train, it is not worth getting into weight distribution or suspension modification. I would worry about the transmission than anything else in RX.   Make sure your transmission fluid/filter is changed every three years. Do not use cruise control on inclines, lower your speed if you notice too much down shifts, and you should be fine.   These FWD biased SUV/LUVs are not built to pull anything serious. They can handle a bike rack comfortably and that is about it. Replies to this message: wwest (Sep 10, 2009 8:17 pm)
