What owners wrote
Early failure of transmission after following maintenance schedule and changing fluid every 30k miles. Transmission failed while drive in the desert 75 miles west of salt lake city, utah. Transmission replaced at roseville lexus, the replacement would fail to go into drive when the gas pedal was push after stopping causing many near collisions from the rear during heavy traffic, second transmission was replaced finally, but the stabilizer bar mounts were left disconnected and rubbing on the brake lines and drive…
The transmission on my 1999 lexus rx 300 needed to be replaced with only 70,000 miles on the car. I have also had to replace the struts, the radio antenna motor and have a major oil leak repaired.
