Another transmission failure: My transmission failed at 56000. We are the original owner and had the car regularly serviced: at the Lexus dealer for the first 30K miles and at a garage near our home for the rest. The car has been well taken care of. Lexus is not willing to help even with the low mileage.
Well you can hardly expect the Lexus dealer to stand behind your vehicles transmission failure. Quite Clearly, as you have stated you had the vehicle serviced at a corner garage. Why do that? No wonder Lexus will not replace your transmission.
I don't see the transmission as being Lexus's fault. If the transmissions were a bad design, they would have gone out within the first 10,000 miles. There are some 99-00 RX300s out there with well over 100,000 and still have the original transmission. Its all about how the vehicle was maintained. If you get the transmission serviced at Lexus every 10,000 miles it will most likely last unless you have already bought one with 80,000+ miles. If you have records to prove you have kept your transmission serviced Lexus will pay half.
