Lexus RX330 Visibility problems by year

Was on freeway, heard a loud pop , looked around and everything looked ok, saw something fly off vehicle in rearview mirror. Now there is a sound of wind rushing, check windows all closed, decided to pull of freeway to see if there was damaged to vehicle . Stopped got out did not notice anything up till we looked at the roof an saw a hole. Looked like it blow out not in , did not notice in the car because sunroof cover was closed.

The sunroof on our lexus rx 330 shattered while we were driving on a highway at 65 mph. It was not hit by a rock or other debris, it shattered for no apparent reason into many small pieces. Fortunately we had the sunshade closed, otherwise we would probably have been injured by flying glass.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND FALLING OFF.

I was on my way to work when there was a loud boom and my sun roof exploded - glass went everywhere. I am lucky that I was not in an accident. It turns out the sun roof exploded. It was not a hot day some clouds and there was no rocks or debris in the roof. It turns out that lexus an other manufactures know of this problem but little is being done about it. The glass is being made a lot cheaper and thinner these days to cut cost. I have a 2004 lexus rx 330 suv. This should be covered by the manufacture and a recall needs to be made as it is a know issue before people get killed. *Tr

I own 2 lexus 2004 rx330. Both of cars have the passenger mirror change color (change to darker color). One happen about 3 year ago. One happen about a year ago. *Tr

Dashboard has slowly started to melt becoming increasingly smooth, sticky and glary, severely obstructing vision from sun reflection. *Tr

While driving on the highway there was a startlingly loud noise from the back, upper left part of the car. After reaching our destination we realized the top molding on the quarter rear driver-side window had ripped off the car while driving at normal highway speeds. This appears to be a common design flaw, based on lexus chats. This should be a manufacturer covered defect even if the vehicle is no longer under warranty. This could be a serious danger if those hit someone or something. *Tr

My steering started getting stiff and making a grinding sound without warning. It would then disappear after driving for about 5 minutes. I noticed this seems to be a common problem with the vehicle at the 90,000 mark. I bought a lexus because I thought the vehicle would be solid but it seems like everything is starting to go. I had to replace the sunroof, air conditioning pump, radiator and transmission after hitting 80,000. I don't want to put any more $$$ into the car at this point because it doesn't seem worth. One problem after the next. *Tr

The vehicle dashboard has experienced abnormal cracking and decomposition throughout. It started with hairline cracks which spread all through the dash. Since the dash started to turn sticky/gummy, pieces of the dash started falling off near the ends (e.G. Where the dash meets the glove compartment). Of concern is airbag deployment in case of an accident. For example, since the dash has been compromised and has cracks, would the airbag deployment cause the dash to splinter and shoot pieces at the car's...

I was driving southbound on the 405 in los angeles. I was beginning to change lanes and was looking into my driver's side rear view mirror when I observed the molding come off of the left rear quarter panel window and strike the hood and windshield of the car behind me. It occurred to me how dangerous this could have been if a motorcyclist had been following me. It could have easily hit him or her directly in the face. In researching the internet for a price on the molding, I have since learned a large number of...

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 rx330 lexus. The contact stated that the passenger side rearview mirror exploded from the casing. In addition, an unknown liquid leaked from the mirror after the failure. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the vehicle had to have struck something in order to cause the failure. The contact then took the vehicle to a local mechanic and was advised that it appeared as if the mirror exploded independently, which was hanging from the vehicle by several wires. The failure and the current mileage was 77,000.

My 6 year old lexus window molding flew off on both quarter size back windows in the last month. This is a hazard as it went flying off in the highway, one day and not even a month later, the other one flew off and almost hit a pedestrian. They said I will need to replace the entire window for the molding. This sounds like the window could possibly fly off as well if the molding isn't something you can just clip back on. There are several websites of this complaint, but lexus is not willing to do anything. I have a...

Like many other people, I am complaining about the headlight condensation on my lexus rx330. The passenger seat headlight fogs up so that it is very cloudy. This affects the quality of the light beam at night as it makes the light dimmer. I've asked lexus to fix this problem and they quoted me close to $2000 for something that really should be a safety recall. I am not the only person experiencing this problem. I've done some research and found that there is currently a lawsuit going on about this problem. This problem needs to be fixed immediately. *Tr

2005 Lexus rx330 while I am driving on freeway a driver rear quarter window's molding felt out off. I contacted lexus headquarter rise an issue, I do reseach online forums to find down alot of same problems. I talked to lexus headquarter personnel I think its a manufacture defective, but they denied that. Since my car out of warranty lexus just pay half of replacement cost. I think it unfair should be replaced by lexus corp cost. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 lexus rx330. While parked, the sunlight was shining on the passenger side mirror and the contact noticed a black glare on the mirror. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the technicians could not see the glare. The contact stated after sometime the black glare became more noticeable and changed from black to yellow. The contact stated she was unable to see anything in the mirror. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer a second time where the technicians stated the mirror needed to be replaced but it would not be covered under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 17,850. Updated 03/06/12 *bf updated 03/07/12
