Is there a problem with the 2001 Lexus RX 300?
Gentlemen, 2001 RX 300 has a company defect. The transmissions are failing; I have replace the transmission twice so far at 120,000 miles. I believe this to be a factory problem with the entire model for several years 1999 through 2002. I wish Lexus would step up to the plate and fix these vehicle’s transmissions. $2500 to $6,000 EACH REPAIR!
What’s the cargo capacity of a Lexus RX 300?
Rather than employ a conventional body-on-frame design, Lexus built the RX 300 on a unibody platform that shares more than a passing resemblance with the Toyota Camry. With dimensions similar to those of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the RX 300 can be classified a midsize SUV, thanks to a maximum cargo capacity measurement of 75 cubic feet.
What does VSC do on a Lexus RX 300?
For 2001, Lexus has added Vehicle Skid Control (VSC — a stability control system) and Brake Assist (which applies full braking pressure in panic situations quicker than your feet can) as standard equipment on all RX 300s. The RX 300 tackles daily driver tasks quite well.
