| Certified lexus rx 330 developed two separate dash noises within one week after purchase. one of these noise is coming from below the center of the front defrost vent and sounds like a piece of plastic is popping in and out of place. this only occurs when its really cold (below 20 degrees). the other noise is constant and occurs whenever going over a bump. it's coming from the passenger side of the dash by the speaker cover. it sounds like a piece of plastic clicking together and is very annoying. the dealer says that the certified warranty does not cover interior noises. a certified lexus should not have rattles and noises. *tr | |||

| We are experiencing severe cracking and softening of the dashboard material. this has happened even though we have garaged the vehicle since purchasing. we also have a 2005 toyota camry which has no dashboard issues and it has been left outside consistently since purchased new in 2005. we feel that the cracking and softening of the dashboard presents a chemical health risk. *tr | |||

| 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 isnt 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 message from lexus headquarters stating since out of warranty they will not replace. i feel this is very dangerous and cheap of lexus. below are the websites of complaints on this matter: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-second-generation/478653-rear-quarter-window-exterior-molding-fell-off-rx330.html http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-second-generation/478653-rear-quarter-window-exterior-molding-fell-off-rx330-9.html http://boardreader.com/thread/rear_quarter_window_exterior_molding_fel_qkffxa9bx.html http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64391 thanks, martina gomez | |||

| Exhaust fumes can be sucked into the vehicle's cabin if the rear hatch is slightly open , hauling long object, because the rear air deflector is improper design to create a down draft when vehicle is moving. *ak | |||
