no problem with mine ::knocks on wood:: but one problem alot of people have is the vibrations around 50-55 60-65 mph, and a rattling moon roof... serious issues are ball joints. if the vehicle was maintained properly these cars will last you quite a while. if youre looking for power + comfort i would go with a 400/430 but for everyday normal driving the 300 is a great vehicle.

The RX transmission issue is a known issues that's been known about for years. The GS however is very reliable as far as engine and transmission. I think a lot of them will go to 300k miles with no major issues if the preventive maintenance is kept up. The Lexus GS is a great choice for a vehicle.
