LEXUS RX 2000 car safety problem was reported on Sept 22, 2011.LEXUS RX 2000, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN . TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A WHINING SOUND AT CERTAIN SPEEDS ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF EARLIER. TOYOTA DEALER CONFIRMED ODD NOISE FROM TRANSMISSION, BUT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO APART FROM REMOVING TRANSMISSION. I WAS IN A NEARBY STATE WHEN THE TRANNY FINALLY WENT OUT - 1ST GEAR STILL WORKS AND SOMETIMES 2ND GEAR, BUT 3RD, 4TH AND REVERSE ALL WENT OUT WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY - A LOUD BANG AND THEN IT REVVED UP LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. I'M CONCERNED THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW, BUT LEXUS DOES NOT AGREE AND HAS OFFERED NO COMPENSATION UP TO THIS POINT. THEY SAID IF I WANT TO TAKE IT FURTHER I NEED THE TOYOTA DEALER TO CONFIRM THE TRANNY IS OUT. I SAID THAT WOULD NOT BE DIFFICULT AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT NOW. I AM CURIOUS HOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN LEXUS TO PAY A PORTION OF THEIR BILL. I ENDED UP RENTING A UHAUL AND TRAILER TO GET IT HOME. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 143000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JT6HF10U0Y0.

windshield casing on drivers side has pulled away from frame causing air noises. Do alot of 2010's have this issue? I have a steering column that squeaks when I turn my '01 Lexus RX-300. All of this stuff is starting to make. My husband was driving a 2001 lexus gs 1999 Lexus RX300.....Passenger seat belt light keep blinking when somebody seat on the front.Thank you for your help. 93 gs300, out of the blue,, car died, towed home, started ran fine, 5 min. later dies. got to run again, 7 min dies. noticed with key on all the injectors are clicking irratically, then while trouble shooting,, everything, comes to a stop, when recently, on my 1992 SC400, a loud beep apparantly coming from the right door speaker comes immediately after starting the car. I've turned off the radio and it still beeps. i have a problem with my lexus sc430 cabriolet. i cant open luggage and i cant be it cabrio. plz help me. I own an lexus 2000 rx300, since the past 6 months the temperature gauge has stopped working and the electricians can't find what is wrong airbags did not deploy upon impact to a tree and rock at 50 mph Hello Yvonne, I had the same problem with my 2004 LS430, I took the steering wheel cowl off and watched the motor I could see (up down) motor. I found that the motor turned a little and was obviously still working (sort of) my thoughts on this pro Noticed a thumping noise with my 2010 RX 350 when braking going forward and backwards. Dealership said not to worry, many owner are complaining about the same thing. When there are enough complaints Lexus will do more research to resolve the pro I have a 2009 Lexus es350 and when i break at 60 mph it has a shimming upon breaking on the driver side. What can be the problem? I have rotated the tires and check the break pads and examine the rotor and with the cannot see any visual issuse.
430 and lost control somehow there still not sure how crashed into a tree and the car exploded a couple times i was just wondering if anyone has had any trouble with
