2001 Lexus RX300 review from North America
"An expensive luxury vehicle that should have held up better than this"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission went at 50,000 miles. I had one month left on my drive train warranty, so Lexus, replaced my transmission with a refurbished transmission, that was junk. My car was sluggish, wouldn't shift easily, and was Loud like a dump truck. While being serviced by Lexus they threw off my alignment, damaged my exhaust and returned my car to me like this, with the new faulty transmission.
General comments?
I have babied this car, garage kept, low mileage, I wanted to keep it for a long time. Before this incident I really liked the car, but now it is ruined and I don't trust it or Lexus to stand behind their faulty parts.
