In reading the post on warped rotors Just what prompts a recall? Is
nowadays its money first, customers second. Do X amount of people have
to get killed ?
As Iv had my fill of GM ,Ford and Chrysler (The worst vehicle Iv ever owned)
Does Toyota fall in to this category now? We have a RX330 and its been great
so far.

Yes, corporations now care about money first. This is a very recent
and unprecedented phenomenon.

And in the case of Japanese corporations - business is war! So there
was an interesting, but apparently temporary, pause for rationality in
the combat. That was when Lexus actualy appeared to care about the
happiness of the customer. Now it is becoming part of the standard
thundering herd of corporations - warped rotors? Tough! You must have
driven the car through a pool of ice water while the rotors were hot
from all your hard braking from high speeds like 60 in the 25 mph
zones that you normaly drive in. (What my wife was told, but they just
tell me the rough brakes are normal) So it is back to the standard car
- owner relationship. What piece of junk do I buy next? I got tired of
the crap from Mercedes and decided to try Lexus. Oops! Well, what
next ??? Brand loyalty? Sure ...
Hmm - wonder what Santa will bring me for Christmas.

Stay away from Chrysler corp. I had numerous complaints the biggest the
transmission . I even had a video of me shifting it in gear, the tachometer
rising and falling then it would slam into gear. The Dodge Dakota was under
warranty and they still would not fix it! The Chevrolet I currently own is
very poorly built designed to keep you at their door step buying poorly
constructed parts

Recalls are prompted by a condition that affects a vehicle's safety or
emissions compliance.

Warped rotors do not necessarily affect a vehicle's safety, although they
tend to be annoying.

What year is your RX? There is a TSB for the rotor warping issue for
the 2004 RX330, but unfortunately, it only fixed ours for awhile.

I have an RX 300 and I've had to have the rotors resurfaced a couple
of times and the brake pads replaced. It seems that the brakes are a
trouble spot on Toyotas. My 94 Corolla also needed the brake rotors
resurfaced and the brake pads replaced frequently. Yes, it is an
expense, but I'd rather have to replace the pads and/or resurface the
rotors than to rebuild the engine or transmission!
