($1400) while sitting in the lobby to pick up my car i overheard 2 other people picking up their cars with the same issue. i never followed up with it, but have since heard of 2 other people that had the same problem at the same approximate mileage (80,000- 85,000). i am now experiencing further issues with my vehicle that they can't seem to figure out, which has prompted me to follow through with a complaint. if nothing else i think this transmission needs to be recalled. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 81000 miles.

LEXUS RX300 2001 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2008.LEXUS RX300 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . first, the car would not shift into reverse. then, after attempting several times, the car violently jerked me into reverse and i almost crashed. after backing up, i shifted into drive, but locked up on me again. after revving the accelerator and trying different gears, finally jerked me and children forward into drive. initially, lexus "supposedly" fixed the problem by replacing o2 sensor, but problem recurred in june again. since the problem could not be duplicated at lexus shop, they gave me my car without any repair. then, a more serious occurrence happened in mid july when the gear got stuck while driving. i was driving about 30 mph when gear got stuck, shifted to neutral, then violently jerked me and kids forward and into drive again. children and i were very frightened. this is a safety issue because not only are you dropped out of gear into neutral while car is in motion, but then you are suddenly jerked forward into drive. to make it worse, its frequency is erratic so you just hope this doesn't happen on the freeway. according to many online blogs (especially edmunds.com), it is a common problem that 1999-2001 lexus has but will not acknowledge. mostly happens at about 65,000 miles. don't understand why there hasn't been a recall already. are we waiting for there to be a fatality or serious injury for this to receive attention? *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 97500 miles.

LEXUS RX300 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2011.LEXUS RX300 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . the transmission of my 2001 lexus rx300 with only 83,000 miles, just failed. this car was fully and timely serviced by lexus and is otherwise in pristine driving condition. we noticed the problem months ago when we experienced engine hesitation and transmission related symptoms, but our lexus dealer checked the car and assured us it was fine. my wife and son continued to drive the car and were exposed to dangerous driving situations due to engine hesitation and failure to accelerate. despite transmission related symptoms and full knowledge of widespread transmission failures the lexus dealer did not raise any warnings with us and assured us the car was fine and safe to drive. when lexus finally acknowledged it was the transmission all along, i was shocked to learn how widespread, pervasive and well documented this problem is and how unsafe this car is to drive given the dangerous effects of transmission failure while driving. as an attorney i will not let this rest and want to know why nhtsa is not taking action on this, and why lexus is not recalling this vehicle. *kb.Mileage was 83000 miles.
