Airbag light stays on when car is running and when i had it checked out the mechanic said it could inflate at any time. Don't have the money in budget to have done right now.

I own a 2003 lexus rx300. After i had came from a completed stop while depressed on the accelerator pedal, the brakes began to lock with the abs brake light illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who stated the av pump failed or that it maybe something with the electronic control module. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturers were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 320,000.

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 lexus 300. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 25 mph, the airbag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the airbag failure was due to water. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate mileage was 180,000.

Had car in driveway unused for month or two. Car seemed to be idling at higher than usual speed after starting (@2300 rpm). Vehicle jerked a bit at each stop sign as if problem with transmission. Took vehicle on road at 35 to 40 mph, took foot off gas and vehicle kept accelerating at a modest pace to above 50. Glanced at floormat (not touching accelerator), put car in neutral. Engine revved to high rpm than came back to normal. Put back in gear and drove short distance home. *tr

Air bag "problem" warning light came on intermittently. Dealer stated that if the light was on, the air bags would not deploy in a crash. *tr

During normal driving, with no signs of failure, the vehicle suddenly would lose power when pressed on gas, it acted as if it were in neutral---engine revs up, but car does not move. Then when switched to second gear or l, transmission still would not engage. Had it towed to a local transmission shop, it turned out to be the planetary gear broke. Searched online lexus forum, found out very many people reported the same failure in transmission. *tr

The vehicle suddenly lost transmission on the road and was rolling freely. The gears does not work anymore and the vehicle rolls as if its in neutral. When search the internet i looked at lot of the customers complaining about exact same thing, about this vehicle having transmission issues especially for rx300. No wonder toyota has this many recalls and surprised that their premium brand has the same issues with safety. I am glad that this did not happen on a highway

I called my local lexus three times prior to june, 2012 regarding lights suddenly illuminating on the dashboard. I had a recurring issue where the check engine and vsc warning lights would illuminate. Each time the customer service agent told me that the lights would go off when i refueled. Three times the lights did go off (after several days), but once i had to have the dealer reset them. The most recent occurrence resulted in the dealer telling me i needed the air fuel and air flow sensors replaced, a repair which cost over $750.00. As an aside, every time i called to inquire about the lights being illuminated my car was under warranty and no repairs were suggested. After the warranty expired i was then advised that the sensors needed to be replaced. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 lexus rx300. While driving 10 mph out of the parking lot the vehicle accelerated and he lost control. As he swerved the vehicle he hit three small trees, a wooden fence, and a brick wall before the vehicle stopped. The ambulance and police department came because he was trapped in the vehicle. He was taken to the hospital for injures to his lower back. The vehicle was destroyed. There is a police report if needed. The insurance company was notified. The dealer nor manufacturer have not been called. The failure mileage was 14,070. Updated 05/10/10 *bf the vehicle was declared a loss. Updated 05/17/10.*jb
