1999 Lexus RX300 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Until about 5 days ago I loved this car. Never had a prob with it. We have bought Toyota products out entire lives. From what I hear I should be happy that I made it to 135000 miles. Granted most were highway until I passed it to my wife. But transmission has gone. Same as what others are saying. starts to really shift hard, and then just stopped. Push the pedal down and the RPM's go up, but the car doesn't move forward. Same quote as others, around $4000. Best of luck to others. I assume because it was their first couple of years doing this the trans is not engineered correctly.
