Gearbox

[Bobby McLeish]

Hi,

Yes, I know, it's a old topic !! But my Rx300 SE 2003 is going in for it's 50k service (I have extended warranty) and I have informed the service dept that I am still unhappy with my "Intelligent Gearbox".

Last time I reported this, they said that there was nothing wrong !! I also got the gearbox oil changed to see if it made any difference (none at all).

I have informed the service dept that if "they" find nothing wrong with it this time, I want the Service Manager to explain to me in person what this "Intelligent Gearbox" is meant to do.

It has got to the point that when I have been at a roundabout and put my foot down, nothing happens, it borders on dangerous, as cars are heading towards me and I am waiting for the elastic band to unwind and get going !!

Any advice or tips which I can use to enforce this problem when I speak to them ?

As part of the service your dealer should carry out a road test. If the lurching is happening regularly they should pick it up. Are you able to accompany any road test?

For info my 2003 RX has shown no signs of any such problems in the 3 months that I have owned it.

This time, for sure, I will be out there on the road test. Good luck with your RX 3003, let's hope you don't get this probelm. Thanks for the reply
