boatdetective Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Hello all, I have an 04' RX330. At times, it seems that the car hesitates (revs up a bit much) befor e upshifting. It's not nearly as smooth as my Volvo 960. Is this a characteristic of the car- or is there a problem here? THANK YOU! Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I notice EVERYTHING that's unusual with my cars. I noticed this same thing and the dealer said it was normal; does it happen when stopped-go? I don't know why it does, but it does...

Husker4theSpurs Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 It's a characteristic of the car (and the ES) AND it's a problem :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh046 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I agree with you guys. I also notice a lot of things that come up with my RX330. I always drive it without the sounds system on. My dealership drives it around a neighborhood (with bumps), and say it's normal. To my opinion, they need to really drive it to get a good feel of it. I don't know if they'll want to tell you something, if they hear something different. Especially, if the car is still under warranty. I don't think they want to fix things for free, unless, you bring it up to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husker4theSpurs Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 That makes no sense at all ... the dealership is paid by Lexus to do warranty work, so (re-purchase consideration aside) they'd like to do as much warranty work as possible. I think it's just an issue that most involved with Lexus have decided to downplay in the hopes of making it seem like less of a problem. The salesman I talked to knew exactly what I was talking to when he asked how I was liking my RX and I mentioned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 It must be a norm with the rx330's because it seems all of them have this upshifting thing....Oh well maybe they'll fix it for future generations....yeah right.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
