2000 Rx300 do not shift into the 3 gear while driving, the transmission shifts from 1 &2 but not 3. The engine speed is high and doesn't shift. We haven't driven it since, trying to find out what to do next with this vehicle. I have a friend that have the same make & model and he's had the same problems also!.
While driving car lost power would not go forward. Never gave me any warning no check engine light nothing! made it home at 5 mph. Transmission went out with no warning! $3600 to fix at aamco, seems like they see this problem often in the Rx300 models 1999-2003 mine is a 2000. Called Lexus but offered no help! very unhappy Lexus owner.
