| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 99 rx300 awd. purchased the car from a dealership corporation that also owned lexus of serramonte in sf bay area at 68k miles. the vehicle apparently had all services done on time as my dealer noted and was serviced at their facility since the vehicle left their dealer lot. so the car was locally owned and repaired. at 74k my transmission started to act up where i found the car to be bellow 20% of its temperature the car will either not shift into 4th or over drive. my dealer told me to replace the transmission fluid but that only worsened the problem where if the engine is bellow that temperature it will start jumping when going from 1st to 2nd, and takes a while to shift between gears. the dealer tells me that this is normal operation of any car at 90k miles. now my biggest problem is that my car stalls if it''s at it normal temperature after starting it up, it will die, unless i keep the pedal depressed for fuel to flow into the engine after the starter disables. i owned plenty of cars well over 20 and never had any of my vehicles ever had a similar problem except one car that has been totaled twice in its entire life. this is not a normal vehicle behavior nor appropriate dealer response when trying to keep a great customer relationship. this creates a lot of distrust and feeling that you're having your leg pulled. this is an issue that needs to be addressed by the vehicle manufacturer and turned into a recall, as i am finding out that 90% of 99-2000 lexus rx300's out there have the exact same problem. *nm |
