2000 LEXUS RX300 Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

I PURCHASED A 2000 TOYOTA SUV. AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE VEHICLE GO INTO SUDDEN COMPLETE IRREPERABLE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD. IT HAD BEEN A "RECALL", OR SERVICE BULLETIN THAT THE ITEM WAS A "GEL" PROBLEM (OR SLUDGE) WITH THE OIL IN THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THE CAR. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM, LEXUS OF MONTEREY CLAIMED THAT THEY'D NEVER SEEN SUCH A THING AND THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED $400.00 WORTH OF DIAGNOSTICS TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. ON THE ADVICE OF MY USUAL AUTO MECHANIC, I CONTACTED LEXUS AND REPORTED A POSSIBLE "GEL" PROBLEM. LEXUS IMMEDIATELY SENT SOMEONE OUT TO CHECK THE VEHICLE AND PRONOUNCED IT THE MANUFACTURERS' PROBLEM THAT HAD BEEN SENT OUT AS A NOTICE TO OWNERS OF THE AUTOMOBILES. THEY PAID FOR A NEW ENGINE, AND ALSO ADVISED US THAT ALL INCEDINTAL WOULD BE COVERED. LEXUS OF MONTEREY PENINSULA DECIDED...

TRAVELING 60 MPH ON MERIT PKY CONNECTICUT, THE FLUID LEAKED OUT OF A BLOWN GASKET IN THE TRANSFER BOX TO THE REAR WHEEL DRIVE. THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND CAR SKIDDED 150 FT AND SPUN. A MIRACLE NO CARS OR BARRIERS WERE HIT. MOTHER SUFFERED NERVE DAMAGE FROM BEING TWISTED. HAD CAR TOWED DIRECTLY TO DEALER. THE DEALER - LEXUS OF ENGLEWOOD NJ, MADE AN ATTEMPT TO PAY OFF LEASE AND LEASE A NEW CAR BUT DID NOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THEIR OFFER. THEY TREATED US HORRIBLY!!! THEY GAVE US NO INFORMATION ON WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRUCK AND THROUGH A MIRED OF LIES AND NASTY PHONE CALLS FROM THEM, WE HAVE DECIDED TO BUY A MERCEDES ML350. I WILL NEVER DRIVE A LEXUS AGAIN AND AM CURRENTLY PROCEEDING WITH LITIGATION AGAINST LEXUS AND LEXUS OF ENGLEWOOD NJ. I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT FOUND NONE. THIS...

MY WIFE NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AS SHE WAS DRIVING TO WORK. SHE CALLED ME ON THE CELL PHONE AND WE TOOK THE CAR TO LEXUS OF CLEARWATER. I RECIEVED A PHONE CALL SAYING THEY HAD DETECTED SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THEY MIGHT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. I ALSO CHECKED THE WEBSITE AND LEXUS KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND SAYS THEY WILL STAND 100% BEHIND THE CUSTOMER FOR 8 YRS AND UNLIMITED MILES. NO OTHER REQUIRENMENT IS LISTED. MELISSA THE SERVICE PERSON SAID SHE WANTED ME TO TALK TO MARK THE REGIONAL GUY FROM LEXUS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT GOING TO COVER IT AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE FROM 8K-12K!!!! I TOLD THEM THEY WERE CRAZY BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD EVERY MAJOR SERVICE REQUIRED BY LEXUS...
