Lexus RX300 owners have reported 3 problems related to suspension (under the suspension category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have just sat and read probably 50 complaints; safety and defective, concerning the transmission for the 2001 Lexus Rx300. From what im reading, I guess I should consider myself lucky, I currently have 142,000 miles on my vehicle and although I've experienced non-periodic shifting abnormalities, I haven't experienced any of the horrific problems I've been reading in the NHTSA complaint section of this site. It is obvious there is a manufacturing defect that needs to be addressed before someone (if not already) is mangled or worst, killed. It astonishes me that a company that survives by there reputation for quality would not address what is obviously a serious and costly burden to there loyal customers. We are talking about a 35,000 dollar vehicle in 2001. Apparently Lexus is not planning on resolving the issue, so what can consumers do other than complain which obviously is doing nothing to force big business to take responsibility for there poor design that resulted in unsafe costly products, leaving the consumer powerless, with no option but to pay them again to fix the problem they created in the first place.

There is a rattling noise on the right side (glove box and/or dashboard) while going over bumps at aroun 5-30mph. Also, when traveling on the highway at 50-65mph, if the rear windows are open (front windows closed) the air flow into the car causes a terrible "wind flapping" noise (unbearable to ears), and the car also shakes.
