My RX 330 with 3,000 miles and auto transmission AWD makes a clunking noise slowing down at about 20-30 MPH. It sounds like it is coming from the rear end. What is it? Also, I am not happy with the transmission smoothness at all.
Rear End Clunk When Downshifting
in 99 - 03 Lexus RX300

My RX 330 has been in the dealership repair department for four days now. At least they gave us a loaner car. They do not know what is causing the rear end clunking noise but are trying to figure it out and admit that it is unacceptable.
They did a software upgrade for transmission shifting smoothness and tried to convince me that I need to drive it for a while so that is can learn my driving habits and then it will shift smoothly for my driving habits and style. I got a good laugh out of that one - what about multiple drivers in the same family - how will it know who is driving?
I am going to investigate the automobile lemon laws in RI. Rented a Chevrolet Malibu on a business trip yesterday and the trasmission shifting was smooth as glass.
Shame on Lexus, their high price, and inferior quality!
