Two problems related to equipment have been reported for the 1999 Lexus RX. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
There is a known problem with this year model they are built with a defective transmission. . . I have not had anything happen to me personally but I am terrified it will. There are plenty of verified situations reported online where the transmissions on this particular year model have been driving and serious events have occurred having to do with this defective transmission. That Lexus is aware of. This should not be consumers problen it is Lexus'faultband they should repair it. !.
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.
