Lexus RX300 owners have reported 4 problems related to exterior lighting (under the exterior lighting category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Suddenly my gears began shifting into neutral, park, reverse and into !st and 2nd gear without locking into any of them. No matter what the shifter moves freely. My car only moves forward no matter which gear it's in, including reverse. I put it into park and it still keeps moving forward. In order to park and stop, I have to use my emergency brake and turn the car off. I do not know the cause (unknown) it just suddenly happened on a toll road at the pay station. Also, my internal lights do not come on when I open any door, including the trunk lights. My radio does not change stations and knob does nothing, reception is poor & comes and goes. I cannot get any am stations.

Told before purchasing that transmission was rebuilt. Not shifting properly. I was told it was an electrical issue power train. I also am not visible to most drivers in the we morning dusk dark hours of the days due to lighting. Pulled over by law enforcement a few times in regards to the lights. One owner before me and did not get any recalls done. I called Lexus @ grapevine TX and they told me there were no recalls on my truck. There h e been and they need to be done ASAP. I have a disabled child and can not jeopardize the safety of my child. I need help getting this matter taken care of ASAP. Thank you!.

2000 Lexus RX 300. Consumer writes in regards to exterior lighting recall notice which seemed to be very deceptive.
I have experienced several problems with my 1999 Lexus Rx300. I have notice via the internet that these are wide spread problems but no recalls have been occurring. These are the incidences that I have problems with:
* debris can get into the idle air control valve that allows air into the engine causing the engine to have a low idle speed, or stall when it is cold. (this occurred in the past, perhaps 2004. Lexus eventually replaced my engine in 2005. )
* sludge can build up in the engine. I routinely have to have the sludge cleaned out to avoid engine problems. * the check engine light comes on because the mass air flow sensor sends incorrect information to the engines computer. This can cause a loss of power on acceleration. (this started occurring on December 11, 2008. )
* the check engine light comes on because a component of the oxygen sensor stops working, and the car is unable to determine the proper ratio of air to fuel for the engine. (this has occurred in the past, perhaps 2005. We had to pay for new air flow sensors. )
* light bulbs frequently burn out in the taillights. * the front suspension makes very loud noises when going over bumps or rough roads. The support bushing for the suspension needs to be replaced. (this began happening in December 2007. Lexus told us we need new struts. )
* a throbbing wind noise from the moonroof. One cannot have the moonroof open at the same time as the windows or ones ear drums experience severe pain. (this has existed from purchase. )
I believe the 1999 Lexus RX 300 might very well be a good candidate for the lemon laws, yet we're not seeing problems being addressed with recalls.
