Consumer Description
PURCHASED USED RX-300 (YR 2000) IN 2003 AND THE TRANSMISSION DIED SUDDENLY AS I WAS COMING BACK HOME AT 87,000 MILES. THE DEALER FIXED IT FOR FREE, A WEEK LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE LEXUS DEALER IN SILVER SPRING AND ANOTHER TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN THE CAR. TODAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED, ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THE MILEAGE IS 127,000, NOT SURE IF IT'S WORTH GETTING IT FIXED. *TR
