| Equipment problems |
I own a 1999 Lexus Rx300 fwd. I have had multiple problems with this vehicle. When I bought it Jan 2008 ignition coil 1 and 3 failed. Two months later 3, , and 6 failed. Both times when vehicle failed I was driving on interstate 85 vehicle would not go over 45 and would not go into overdrive!!! now the transmission is acting up. It is slipping and also decides to gear down when doing 70mph down the interstate. Was at a stop light and the light turned green and the vehicle wouldn't move, finally caught gear and jerked. Was almost hit by oncoming traffic. I do not feel safe in this so called "luxury vehicle". It is still under extended warranty, and is going to Lexus dealership tomm. I cant wait to hear what they say the out come is. Car has been fully serviced and up to date. Just came out of Lexus dealership 2 weeks ago having problems!!??? now its going back. Lexus needs to recall the transmissions they are faulty!! I have read several complaints and not one action from the manufacturer yet?? they have already replace rear main seals, cam seals, and something else at 2000. 00 dollars. . . Ugh when its cold, it takes the car about 12 mins to go into overdrive. I keep hearing a whining sound, and shudder sounds. I only have like 16,000 miles left on warranty. So some one please tell me what to do or where to go!!! this is such a headache!!.
