Ttexan Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 :( Hello to all. I hope I can get some advice and knowledge as to what is going on with my 2000 RX300. I am a new member to this board and hope someone out there can point me in the right direction. :) I purchased my 2000 RX300 new and I take it in every 5000 miles for maintenance. Never had a problem. When I took it in for 35,000 mile service, I was told about the sludge problem recall and that they (Lexus) would go ahead and service my vehicle for the recall. It's been HELL since. I took it in today for the 6th time because the check engine light keeps coming on. It even stopped on me on the interstate, I was not a happy camper . The service dept at Lexus keeps telling me it's a code P0440, loose gas cap, loose vaccum hose, and I take it home and a couple of days or week later, the check engine light comes back on. I would like to know if anyone has experienced this problem. I was told Lexus would be getting involved with the problem... HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttexan Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 My RX300 is in the shop, I left it there this morning after the "Check Engine" light came on for the 6 time. Twice I was told it was a loose gas cap, I bought that idea the first time because I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I was also told once that a vaccum hose had come lose, a bad sensor and the last time it was in which was 4 days ago, they replaced the O ring by gas cap, but here I am again with that Check Engine light coming on again. As I stated, I have had no problems with this vehicle until they did that sludge recall on it, and its been down hill since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
