Transmission just went out at 93,000.
Transmission just went out at 93,000. Like other comments I've read, the dealer quoted me $4,000. They told me they don't usually do transmission work at the dealership, which leads me to believe they're the middle man in this and send the car out to a transmission body shop. Also, the tow truck dragged my car onto the flatbed tow truck since the car wouldn't shift into neutral. Wonder what kind of damage that does to the car. Other transmission places quoted me 1800-2200. Not the $4k Lexus quoted me. They're ripping us off.
I am In Scotland, I have a 2001 RX300 fantastic car until the trans went at 90k miles, I run the car on LPG with no problems for two years then all went wrong, had to replace all plugs and coil packs, runs OK on petrol, but rough on LPG the computer analyser says random misfires! the dealer is stumped has no clue what to do next apart from replacing the ECU. Has anyone had similar problems any comments appreciated, still the best drive around!!
We had the exact same experience. Our Lexus just hit 100,000 miles. On the way to a mall, a strange sound came from the transmission. Parked the car, and game over. The car would not move, nor would it budge in neutral. The flatbed had to drag it - tires screeching, onto the truck. Our Lexus has always been well taken care of - and I expected it to last a long time before a major failure. I must say I'm very disappointed.
