1999 Lexus RX300 review from North America
"A very good SUV with a flaw in the transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The automatic transmission on our RX300 began to slip after only 70,000 miles. We've owned Toyota built cars since 1983, and this is the first time we've experience problems with the transmission.
We are disappointed because Lexus is suppose to be the top of the line for Toyota and to have this happen after only 70,000 miles is surprising. A number of other 1999 RX300 owners have reported this same problem. I hope the Lexus dealers and manufacture take note and try to make this right.
General comments?
Other than a bad transmission after 70,000 miles, the RX300 has been a great car.
