Consumer Description

FROM THE DAY I GOT THE CAR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN IN TROUBLE. THE PROBLEM IS THE SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND. UNDER LIGHT THROTTLE THERE IS FREE WHEELING AND ENGINE RUN-UP AND IT BUMPS INTO SECOND. I KNOW IT WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL. LEXUS HAS PLAYED WITH THE COMPUTER CONTROL BUT CAN'T CORRECT THIS. THEY TELL ME THIS NORMAL, BUT I KNOW IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR ANY NON- LEXUS TRANSMISSION.*AK
