It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice.

1999 Lexus LS400 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Lexus's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Lexus LS400? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your LS400 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your LS400 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my LS400's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Lexus LS400’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Lexus, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Lexus LS400? Yes. Lexus LS400 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
