1999 Lexus RX300 review from North America
"OK"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission beginning to not engage. Jerks into reverse after some waiting.
Heating system failed at an early age and dealer replaced.
Driver seat belt is poorly designed.
General comments?
Good car overall unless I discover this transmission problem is serious. I would guess that to be the case given the other comments on this site.
