Steering Problems of Lexus RX300

Steering locked while vehicle was in motion. Turning right, my vehicle steering wheel locked while in motion and would not allow me to straighten out. This almost caused me to drive off the road, but thankfully slamming on the brakes, I stopped before doing so. Upon reading reviews, other Lexus RX-300 drivers have had this same occurrence. This malfunction could cause major injury or death. I am requesting the NHTSA immediately conduct a review of these vehicles and force Lexus to perform a mandatory recall before more people are injured or killed.

With little/no warning, automatic transmission (2wd) failed. All gears (p,r,n,d,2,1) worked like neutral gear. If this would've occurred a few minutes earlier, my children and I (located at a sharp turn over a steep hill) could've been seriously injured or killed. Apparently, this is a common problem in Lexus Rx300's from year 1999-2002. How many early transmission failures does it take to have a recall?.

This has been happening since 2013- the car goes up to 35 mphs and then loses power and then shuts off. I have to forcefully pull it over to the side. First time it was worked on replaced battery and thought it was the computer. A year later at 136,000 miles the car makes electrical noises and has difficulty accelerating and shifting above 3000 rpms. When brought it to the dealer, they said it was the transmission and solenoid. This seems to be a common complaint and needs to be investigated.
