:( I have had my RX 330 about 6 months and have put a bit over 6000 miles on it. I live in Florida where it is now full-time air conditioning season. Several times in the last few weeks the air conditioning light in my RX started flashing and the AC shut down. There seems to be no real pattern to these events. If I turn everything off and cycle the AC back on everything is fine for a couple more days until it happens again. My dealer has checked it out and could find nothing wrong (and wouldn't you know -- about 15 minutes after leaving the dealer it happened again!) Anybody know what's going on??

I am a new RX 330 owner, and have been driving the vehicle for about 6 weeks. This is my first Lexus and so far I am extremely satisfied. My only complaint is what I feel is excessive wind noise at highway speeds. At around 55 mph it seems like wind noise is immediately switched "on". Tire and road noise are OK, it is clearly wind noise coming from the roof area. It was so noticible that I checked all the window seals -- but they are OK. I am beginning to suspect the roof rack cross bars are causing the problem. Has anyone found a particular cross bar position that minimizes wind noise? Or has anyone had success reducing wind noise by removing the cross bars entirely? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
