Buyer’s Guide
For 2006, the Lexus RX 330 is unchanged. It’s Lexus’ smallest SUV, based on the Toyota Camry platform, and is more of a tall sedan than a small truck. It also forms the basis of the all-new RX 400h hybrid, covered here in a separate entry.
The RX 330 uses a 3.3-litre V6 engine mated to a five-speed Super Electronically Controlled (Super ECT) transmission. Its all-wheel-drive system uses a centre differential to split the engine power evenly between the front and rear wheels.
It comes in a base trim line, with several available option packages. Standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, CD/cassette premium sound system with wheel-mounted controls, heated leather seats with ten-way power front seats and driver position memory, 40/20/40 split middle seats, auto up/down on all windows, auto-dimming rearview mirror with digital compass, maple or walnut woodgrain trim, cargo cover, water-repellent door glass, roof rack, spoiler, auto-dimming heated mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, halogen headlamps with light control system and washers, driver’s knee airbag, power tilt and telescopic wheel and first-aid kit.
Available options include a Luxury Package with sunroof; Premium Package with high intensity discharge headlamps, six-CD changer and adaptive front lighting among other features; and an Ultra Premium Package including rear monitor, DVD entertainment system, and power liftgate among others.
The RX 330 is a manageable size for an SUV, with an excellent seating position, all the expected Lexus creature comforts, and a 40/20/40 rear seat that slides backward or forward to maximize legroom or cargo space, depending upon what’s more important at the time. It’s not meant for twisty roads at high speeds, or a nasty off-road trail; this is a cargo hauler meant for the suburban jungle. The new gasoline/hybrid version gets better mileage, but with a base price that’s $11,700 over the base RX 330, and $5,950 over the comparably-equipped RX 330 Premium Package; even with rising prices, that’s a lot of fuel.

On certain vehicles, if the forward retention clip used to secure the floor carpet cover, which is located in front of the center console, is not installed properly, the cover may lean toward the accelerator pedal and interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal arm. If this occurs, the accelerator pedal could temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position, rather than return to the idle position. This could result in a loss of throttle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the floor carpet cover with a newly designed version. Note: This campaign also covers vehicles which may have been previously included in recall 2006168 (Toyota 609).

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Certain vehicles use brake fluids containing polymers that act as lubricants for certain brake system components. If during vehicle maintenance, brake fluid is used that does not contain such polymers or only small amounts, part of the internal rubber seal located at the end of the brake master cylinder piston may become dry and may curl during movement of the piston. If this occurs, a small amount of the brake fluid could slowly leak from the brake master cylinder into the brake booster, resulting in illumination of the brake warning lamp. If the brake warning light has illuminated and the vehicle continues to be operated without refilling the master cylinder brake fluid reservoir, the driver will begin to notice a spongy or soft brake pedal feel and braking performance may gradually decline. This will increase the stopping distance, increasing the likelihood of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder seal with a newly designed one.

On certain vehicles, due to the improper installation of the retaining clips for the floor carpet cover located in front of the center console, there is a possibility that the clips may become loose. If both clips separate from the floor carpet cover, the cover may lean toward the accelerator pedal, causing interference with the accelerator pedal rod. In the worst case, the accelerator pedal may become stuck in a partially depressed position when returning to the idle position. Correction: Dealers will install new clips.
