Consumer Description
2000 LEXUS RX300 WITH 85K MILES -- TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. DEALER HAS SAID IT NEEDS A COMPLETELY NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SINCE FOUND MANY, MANY SIMILAR STORIES ON VARIOUS WEB SITES. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN TRAFFIC I AM SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *NM
