1999 Lexus RX300 rx review from North America
"Great SUV, but watch for transmission problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I'm reading a lot about the transmission problems. I also am having a problem. I noticed this about a year ago (145,000km) when I couldn't back out of my garage. I ended up changing transmission oil and the filter and thought I was OK. Now (160,000km) I'm hearing whistling and the Lexus dealer says the transmission needs to be changed for $6K Canadian!! Hell, I'm pissed too. Lexus Canada says it's not their problem of course, I'll let you know what happens! syzali-at-gmail.com From Montreal!
General comments?
Very happy aside from transmission problem.
