Radio Error 400 – Repaired by TSB
Front left mirror; broken motor – repaired warranty
Brake Pedal Lag – I wasn't crazy, they finally replaced the master cylinder and fixed my problem!!!!!!! The braking is tight and responsive.

Transmission Lag (talked about a lot on this forum) – Just found TSB TC005-03. Engine Control Module (ECM) Calibration – Shift Feeling Enhancement. Will present it next service. - Fixed made a huge huge difference - smooth shifting as one would expect from a Lexus!!!

I feel like I'm in a new car!!!!!
Good for you and thanks for the feedback. Now I need to convince my service rep to replace my master cylinder under warranty.

Is there a TSB or service # for replacing master cylinder?

Not that I am aware of. I had made the dealership aware of this problem since the first months of ownership. Finally, per my persistence, my service advisor scheduled an appointment with the dealership’s "technical service engineer" and myself. He drove in a number of situations that I felt the brakes were substandard - slight hills, feathering in slow traffic, etc. The Lexus engineer then took the car back for two days and compared the brake "feel" to other 2004 RX330's.

He came to the conclusion that it was the master cylinder - as I had thought all along.
