Lexus RX330 owners have reported 2 problems related to side/rear glass (under the visibility category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Auto dimming side mirrors fail causing the mirror to show double headlights. This makes the mirror extremely difficult to use. Seeing 4 headlights instead of two causes the driver to spend excessive time looking into the mirror to determine if it is safe to change lanes. Research on car forums indicates the failure of these autodimming mirrors is the result of heated side mirrors. Excessive heat causes the gel in between the glass to leak, causing the double head light effect.
