Lexus Rx330 2005 Exterior Lighting HeadlightsLexus Rx330 2005 Exterior Lighting Headlights Review #10139135 LEXUS RX330 2005 car safety problem was reported on Sept 12, 2005.LEXUS RX330 2005, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS . i have a lexus rx330 awd (2005) with hids in nj. the vehicle is really good and so is the headlights. no complaints about the ride and luxury. but its disappointing to share my experiences and the sleepless nights i am having for the last 2 months. the hid headlights were stolen twice and i am having scary nights after spending 40k on this luxury suv. one of the big reason why i went for rx 330 from the other brands was the known quality of service and reliability of the lexus brand. but now i am totally disappointed. lexus should notify everyone who has the xenon headlights to do the enhanced security for headlights. but they didn't do anything until i contacted them. meanwhile i contacted lexus after the 2 thefts and they installed the data dots and anti theft brackets which they say may prevent thefts. it has been done a week back and hope thieves may not steal it again seeing the data dots. these datadots wont prevent theft but they just warn the thief. extra brackets makes their job a bit hard, but they can easily take it by doing more damage to the hood. first theft - 5000 k loss second theft - 6000 k loss i have only this suggestion. 1)no one can prevent thefts. my only suggestion is lexus or dealers should warn the customers in nj and ny about the potential headlight thefts or they should notify all owners to install some security enhancements for these headlights. 2)why customers risk their life and peaceful nights by spending 40k for luxury vehicles and again risk to spend 250-500k for deductibles every month. i really worry that next time insurance company may be unwilling to give insurance to my vehicle telling the area is a high risk area. 3)removing a live electrical system from an advanced micro computer controlled vehicle and the theft alarms just sits dumb. i cannot believe why this vehicle and the headlights was designed like this. 4)the enhanced brackets should be some strong metallic stuffs(now i guess its plastic). *nm.Lexus Rx330 2005 problem was reported in EDISON, NJ.

(how ironic - 4 years to the date the transmission is out again!) i purchased the car with 103k miles approx 5 months after the trans was replaced. my car now has 196,625k miles & the transmission is bad again. spoke with nalley lexus & was informed that they had replaced the trans in 2010 with a brand new transmission. now at approx 94k miles the trans is bad again??? this does not seem normal! i feel like there should be some reimbursement for me having to replace the trans in the same car again! something is making the transmission go out. as expensive as these cars are - you would think the parts - especially the transmission - would hold up better. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 196625 miles.
