After having 3 of our 5 Mercedes with A/C problems, we were convinced by our Lexus owning friends to switch to Lexus RX300. So with much anticipation and enthusiasm, in February, 2001, we purchased what was to be our easy, troublefree car (their Lexus is one of th original and they have had minimal trouble in nearly 13 years). Unfortunately, maybe it is our garage or something, but we are back to A/C problems. We drive over 2 hours from the coast to our home and in this distance the temperature can vary up to 20-25 degrees (northern California).With the outside temperature at 45 F and the heat on 75F, we get blasts of cold air rather than heat. Our friends, the Lexus owners, couldn't believe us until they rode the 4-1/2 hours to Yosemite in the back of our Lexus. Between the blasts of cold air and the often, uncomfortable changing of the temperature they agreed we have a problem. We complained to our service rep each time we brought it in and they did nothing. We wrote to Lexus and they referred us back to our service manager who now says there is nothing they can do; this is a problem with this car. Hey, wait! We paid almost $40,000. for this car with what kind of guaranty? Has anyone had an independent A/C repair place fix this on their car? My wife thinks we should do that and take Lexus to small claims court. What about the lemon law? Has anyone looked into that? Gerson Jacobs Gerson Jacobs
