Transmission Failure HIGH
The U140F transmission is prone to complete failure between 100,000-150,000 miles. Common symptoms include harsh shifting, slipping, and eventual loss of all gears. This is a widespread issue affecting most RX 300s of this generation. Replacement or rebuild costs typically range from $3,000-$4,500.
Oxygen Sensor Failure MODERATE
The downstream oxygen sensors frequently fail around 80,000-120,000 miles, causing poor fuel economy and rough idling. The sensors are located after the catalytic converters and are expensive to replace. Typical repair costs range from $400-$600 per sensor.
Power Steering Rack Leaks MODERATE
The power steering rack commonly develops leaks around 100,000-130,000 miles, causing fluid loss and steering difficulty. This is particularly common in colder climates where seals deteriorate faster. Rack replacement typically costs $1,200-$1,800 including labor.
Dashboard Cracking MODERATE
The dashboard plastic is prone to cracking and warping, especially in hot climates or vehicles exposed to direct sunlight. This cosmetic issue typically appears after 10-15 years regardless of mileage. Dashboard replacement or repair costs range from $500-$1,200.
Door Handle Paint Peeling LOW
The exterior door handles commonly experience paint peeling and chrome flaking, particularly on darker colored vehicles. This cosmetic issue typically appears after 8-12 years and affects resale value. Handle replacement costs approximately $150-$250 per handle including paint matching.
