2000 Lexus RX300 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Forward progession stopped while on freeway. I believe it to be the transmission. My car has 89,537 miles.
General comments?
While driving on the freeway on Friday, heading for a business meeting, forward motion ceased. I tried slipping my car into neutral and back to drive, which did not work. I was able to barely make it to my destination, with many frustrated drivers behind me.
I've been religious about regular maintenance of my car and just scheduled the 90,000 mile check up.
Up to this point I have enjoyed my car. However, I've owned many vehicles and never have I had a problem with the transmission.
Wouldn't it figure the warrantly on the transmission just ended. I contacted Lexus yesterday and reported the issue and requested financial support. I hope they stand by their product... we will see.
