Lexus RX300 Steering problems by year

Steering locked while vehicle was in motion. Turning right, my vehicle steering wheel locked while in motion and would not allow me to straighten out. This almost caused me to drive off the road, but thankfully slamming on the brakes, I stopped before doing so. Upon reading reviews, other lexus rx-300 drivers have had this same occurrence. This malfunction could cause major injury or death. I am requesting the nhtsa immediately conduct a review of these vehicles and force lexus to perform a mandatory recall before more people are injured or killed. *Tr

With little/no warning, automatic transmission (2wd) failed. All gears (p,r,n,d,2,1) worked like neutral gear. If this would've occurred a few minutes earlier, my children and I (located at a sharp turn over a steep hill) could've been seriously injured or killed. Apparently, this is a common problem in lexus rx300's from year 1999-2002. How many early transmission failures does it take to have a recall? *Tr

I took the vehicle to the lexus dealer when purchase. I told the repair person that there was a noise/roaring coming from the front of the vehicle and I was told that it was the suspension not to worry about it. For this inspection I paid over $300.00. Now the noise is back and it is much louder and it is constant.From 45mph and higher.The noise occurs when I am driving straight and when I turn to the right.When turning to the left the noise stops. I sound like the noise is coming from the steering column mechanism. The vehicle has been well maintained.Please note that this my complaint. *Tr

This has been happening since 2013- the car goes up to 35 mphs and then loses power and then shuts off. I have to forcefully pull it over to the side. First time it was worked on replaced battery and thought it was the computer. A year later at 136,000 miles the car makes electrical noises and has difficulty accelerating and shifting above 3000 rpms. When brought it to the dealer, they said it was the transmission and solenoid. This seems to be a common complaint and needs to be investigated. *Tr

I have a popping in the steering column. I hope that the steering is not lost from this popping. *Tr

While driving 45mph car cut off, causing loss of power steering.*Ak

When changing lanes steering wheel went into opposite direction, resulting in a collision. Dealer has inspected vehicle, and has not been able to duplicate or correct problem. Manufacturer has been notified. Throttle was sticking. Speaker failed. Consumer heard a rattling noise in right front dash area, dealer replaced the glove compartment. *Ak *slc

VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT. YH

If the wireless remote is used to lock the vehicle and a person in it, then after 30 seconds the security system activates and the person in the vehicle is trapped. None of the door handles or windows will operate. *Ak

Upon entering the vehicle occupant pressed door locks and shut the door. But did not have the vehicle's keys, after 30 seconds, alarm went off, and the occupant could not get out of the vehicle. Had to break a window in order to get out of the vehicle. Please provide further information. *Ak
