Lexus Rx 300 engine died at 90k with no warning. Was stranded on dark highway. Paid 4k to replace engine. Very disappointing for such expensive car.
The transmission on my 1999 Lexus Rx 300 needed to be replaced with only 70,000 miles on the car. I have also had to replace the struts, the radio antenna motor and have a major oil leak repaired.
When driving my Lexus Rx 300 1999 it feels vwry forced and when on the express way the rpm goes up to 5 when im driving 60mph and when I come to a complete stop and its time to go my car stalls as if it was in neutral very scary when I have my newborn and a 7 year old in the car. I have maintained my car to the upmost standards from the best gas synthetic oil changes constantly checking everything is in good conditions . For a Lexus I am very upset because my mechanic has said its the transmission and that I will have to replace it which costs 4-5,000 dollars and I mean is a 15 year old car worth putting 5 grand into it? I expected this car to last me a little bit longer I mean from what I was told this car should go to almost 300,000 but its obviously not. I am very disappointed that a Lexus would have this common problem from what I've seen and read.
