Phil:
First, let me say thank you for your service to our country. I wish you a safe return home.
 
I have a 2001 RX-300 that I purchased new. Other than a recall for a cupholder replacement, in 4 years and 47000 miles the vehicle has NEVER, I repeat, NEVER been back to the dealer for any repairs. I do my own oil changes and maintenance, and the gas mileage, ride, and overall driving experience is the best I have ever had, and it is my THIRD Lexus vehicle !
 
FWIW, I am getting ready to replace it since I tend to trade my vehicles every 4 years or so. I also have a transferrable bumper-to-bumper Lexus Platinum extended warranty (no deductible) and LoJack.
 
If you send me an e-mail and I can tell you about my experiences with my RX-300.
 
Thanks and please be safe...
Ed

That would tend to defeat the purpose of a message forum which is to share information and experiences. Stick around and enjoy the conversation!

#8436 of 9497 windshield washer stopped working by bobgail

My 2000 rx 300 windshield washer has stopped working.
 
I checked the fuse (39) and it is ok. How is the washer pump accessed? The reservoir bottle seems hidden under the hood. I would like to check the pump with 12 volts to see if it is ok.

#8437 of 9497 HELP! RPM sudden changes by christinas

Feb 21, 2005 (11:37 am)

Hi,
We own a '99 RX 300 with 106,000 miles. This past Friday my husband was driving it and the RPMs started to suddenly increase by 1000 increments (without us accelerating). Has anyone had this type of problem? This happened to me too. Even if I was driving slow, the RPMs suddenly jumped, then dropped back down. I hope it is nothing serious!
 
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

A good guess might be that your A/C compressor clutch has failed.
 
When the A/C clutch is engaged the engine ECU automatically adds a tad more power to compensate for the additional load.
 
If the load isn't there.....

#8439 of 9497 Navigation Satellite acquisition by rockyball

Our RX 300 Navigation is taking 10-20 minutes to acquire and lock in satellites (Green GPS icon lighting up) Anyone else have this problem? And the solution to fix? Took the car to the dealer and they don't know what to do

I purchased a certified 2000 RX300 with 52,000 miles on it 2 years ago. Lexus had a problem with the front struts, electric antenna motor and a main seal...all were covered under the warranty.I've not experienced any other major problems. I put on 20,000 per year and now have 95,000 miles. I just replaced the timing belt, serpentine belt, water pump, flushed the trany and transfer case. There are no major blind spots. The 2001 model has newer design changes, without changing the body...if I had to do it again, I would buy a 2001. Hope that helps.

I have the Dueler H/L and the tread is not as aggressive as I need to get through the sugar sand here in SW Florida. Any other suggestions? Thanks
