Common 2006 Lexus Rx330 problems
The 2006 Lexus RX330, like any other vehicle, can develop issues as it accumulates mileage. Some of the most common problems reported by owners include radiator issues, delayed shifting, and fuel pump failures.
Radiator issues are prevalent in the 2006 Lexus RX330. Owners have reported leaks, with the most common problem being a split or crack on the bottom seam of the radiator.

Delayed shifting is another common issue in the 2006 Lexus RX330, affecting models from 2004 to 2006. This problem is characterized by lagging shifts when accelerating at certain speeds, typically between 10 to 20 mph. To address this issue, Lexus has released a software update for the transmission control module. However, in some cases, the delayed shifting may be caused by a faulty component rather than an outdated model. If you encounter this issue, it's recommended to take your vehicle to an auto repair shop for proper diagnosis and repair.

- Date Of Incident: 2023-05-18
- VIN: JTJGW31U360
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-06
- VIN: JTJHW31U260
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: This vehicle seems to have a well-documented problem with water intrusion that damages the ECU and hybrid battery. The 2006 and 2007 RX400h has the HV battery located under the seat, which is the low spot in the rear section of the car. If water is spilled or the body has a water leak, the water will pool at the center of the battery. Lexus considered this, and added a drain under the battery, but the drain has a filter, presumably to keep insects out, and the filter is easily clogged. This, coupled with a pattern problem of split body seams near the rear hatch strut mount causing a water leak in the rear of the car, has created isolation faults in many of the RX400h SUVs. The condition presents as warnings on the instrument cluster and a no-start condition where the vehicle is inoperable. A search for "lexus ECU water intrusion" brings up my vehicle's exact model and year so this is well-documented.

I was a minivan 'mom' and wanted to move away from that line. This is my first SUV and I absolutely love it. It's very quiet and handles like a dream, while also providing a lot of room inside.
-
The Lexus 330 is a luxury vehicle that offers an extremely comfortable ride and a very roomy interior. It also handles well in inclement weather conditions. I personally really enjoy driving my Lexus.

Your Lexus RX330 AWD sounds like an amazing luxury vehicle! It's great to hear that the ride is so comfortable and that the interior is both stylish and roomy. The auto AC and Xenon lights are also fantastic features. It definitely sounds like it was worth the investment!
-
The Lexus 330 AWD is an absolute pleasure to drive. It doesn't ride like an SUV, but rather like a luxury car. The handling is responsive, and the ride is very smooth and quiet. We are thrilled with our purchase!

As a Realtor, I spend a lot of time in my car, so I made sure to equip it with everything I need: GPS Navigation and Bluetooth phone. I particularly love the hands-free phone feature, which automatically lowers the radio volume and alerts me of incoming calls without any effort on my part. The steering wheel controls are also very convenient, allowing me to adjust the stereo volume, answer phone calls, and even use voice commands. In fact, you can control many features of the car with just your voice, which is perfect for those lazy days. Whenever someone gets in my car, they always compliment the smooth ride and stylish interior, even without knowing it's a Lexus. I couldn't ask for more!

Are you having problems with your 2006 Lexus Rx330?
Ransom Miller 2024-08-21
I have decided to switch back to a German car. Although my RX has been relatively maintenance-free for almost 3 years, it is not as comfortable as I would like, and the road noise is quite loud. Additionally, I do not feel as safe while driving it due to its handling. Thank you for the experience, but it is time for me to move on.
