LEXUS RX330 2006 car safety problem was reported on Dec 15, 2006.LEXUS RX330 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS . THOSE FOCUSED HEADLIGHTS, OFTEN WITH A BLUE TINT, ARE DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS WHO CAN BE TEMPORARILY BLINDED BY THEIR EXTREME BRIGHTNESS. THE SITUATION IS MADE WORSE IN WET CONDITIONS WHEN REFLECTIONS INTENSIFY THE PROBLEM. ALSO, DRIVERS WHO WEAR EYEGLASSES (INCLUDING ME), HAVE EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS IN REGAINING VISION AFTER BEING BLINDED BY ONCOMING VEHICLE WITH THESE FOCUSED HEADLIGHTS. GROWING USE OF THE HEADLIGHTS BY AUTOMAKERS IS QUICKLY SPREADING THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE INFO PROVIDED BELOW IS THE TYPE THAT USES THESE HEADLIGHTS. A NUMBER A MANUFACTURERS USE THESE HEADLIGHTS NOW, ALSO BMW, CADILLAC, INFINITI AMONG OTHERS.*JB.Lexus Rx330 2006 problem was reported in WILMETTE, IL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

LEXUS RX330 2006 car safety problem was reported on Nov 09, 2010.LEXUS RX330 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . ON NOVEMBER 9, 2010 I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN MY 2006 LEXUS RX330. I MADE A U-TURN FROM A PARKING LOT INTO A PARKING PLACE IN FRONT OF A PRESCHOOL ADJACENT TO THE PARKING LOT. MY FOOT WAS COVERING THE BRAKE AS I COASTED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT APPROX. 5 MPH. AS SOON MY FRONT TIRES CROSSED THE THRESHOLD OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AS IF THE ACCELERATOR HAD BEEN PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS COVERING THE BRAKE AT THE TIME, I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING A POST AND THE PRESCHOOL PLAYGROUND FENCE. I CONTACTED LEXUS AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INTERVIEWED ME AND SAID THEY WOULD INSPECT THE CAR. I WAS CALLED THE FOLLOWING DAY AND TOLD THEY HAD "GOOD NEWS", THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I REFUSED TO PICK UP MY CAR BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I ASKED WHAT MY RECOURSE WAS, AND I WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS. I CONTACTED CUSTOMER RELATIONS, AND I WAS TOLD THEY CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND MY CAR IS SAFE AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I ASKED IF THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ACCELERATION SYSTEM AND WAS TOLD "NO". I ASKED IF THEY WOULD BUY BACK THE CAR, AND THEY RESPONDED "THAT IS POSSIBLE, BUT IT WOULD TAKE 6-8 WEEKS BEFORE THEY COULD LET ME KNOW". I FELT THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I AM COMPLAINING OF A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS GIVEN NO OTHER OPTION. I WENT ONLINE AND WAS ABLE TO CONTACT A PLANT MANAGER IN THE MID-WEST. HE PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE WHO WORKS FOR THE CHIEF QUALITY OFFICER OF TOYOTA. SHE THEN PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE FROM CORPORATE CUSTOMER RELATIONS. TO DATE,THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION, AND MY CAR REMAINS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM ADDITIONALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR. UNDER THEIR CURRENT SYSTEM, I CANNOT BE ASSURED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY CAR DID NOT ALSO EXPERIENCE SUA AND WAS TOLD, "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG", SO THE CAR GOT TRADED IN AND RESOLD TO ME. *TR.Mileage was 70000 miles.

MY LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT HAD CONDENSATION DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER NOT SEALING THE LIGHT CORRECTLY, LEXUS WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND FIXED THE LEFT ONE WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW MY RIGHT ONE HAS RUST INSIDE OF IT WHICH HAS BLOWN OUT ONE BULB..I CONTACTED LEXUS CORPORATE WHO AGREED TO PAY HALF OF THE $1800.00 IT COST TO REPAIR IT. IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT LIGHTS, NOW MY REAR LIGHTS ACTUALLY HAVE BUGS INSIDE OF THEM WHICH IN TURN WILL CAUSE THE BULBS TO BLOW AS WELL. I SPOKE WITH A DEALERSHIP WHO ACKNOWLEDGED LEXUS IS AWARE THAT THIS MODEL HAD THE PROBLEM THAT IS WHY THEY NO LONGER MAKE THOSE LIGHTS. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY HAZARD, BUT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND ONE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. LEXUS WILL DO NOTHING BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET HURT, HIT A DEER,CHILD, PEDESTRIAN OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BEFORE LEXUS TAKES CARE OF AN ISSUE THAT THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF?

AT APPROXIMATELY 4 IN AFTERNOON, I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN FRONT OF MY TOWNHOUSE. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE FROM STOPPING (I WAS JUST ABOUT TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TAKE OUT KEY AND UNFASTENED SEAT BELT) WHEN IT LURCHED FORWARD AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE. I TRIED TO STEER AND PUMP THE BRAKES BUT NOTHING WORKED. IT WAS TOTALLY OUT OF MY CONTROL. THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD GOING OVER THE SIDE WALK AND INTO MY FRONT PORCH, DIRECTLY HITTING MY WROUGHT IRON BANNISTER. THE DISTANCE FROM THE PARKING PLACE TO THE BANNISTER IS ABOUT 10 FEET. THE CAR ACCELERATION STOPPED ON IMPACT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY INSURANCE CO AND I CALLED THE POLICE AND FILLED OUT A POLICE REPORT. I LIVE ACROSS FROM OUR COMMUNITY SWIMMING POOL.
