Consumer Description

2001 LEXUS RX300 W/80K MILES. DRIVING ON FREEWAY, PRESSED GAS AN NOTHING HAPPENED. CAR KEPT REVVING BUT WOULDN'T DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS. FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION WENT. RESEARCHED THIS AND DISCOVERED THIS WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT LEXUS WILL NOT ADMIT TO (ALTHOUGH THEIR SERVICE STAFF WILL ADMIT TO THIS). LEXUS PAID FOR THE NEW TRANSMISSION, BUT FORCED ME TO PAY $1500 LABOR WHEN THEY ARE AT FAULT. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED! PLEASE RESEARCH THIS ONLINE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SPOKE TO SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS MODEL WHO ALL HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE BETWEEN 70-80K MILES. *TR
