Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 RX300, AS I AM READING I HAVE NOT BEEN THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE! I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE OVERHAULED, AS I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY THE CAR GOT TO ABOUT 30 MPH AND STARTED REVVING UP REALLY HARD AND THEN JERKED, IN A 65MPH ZONE, WHERE I WAS NEARLY REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRYING TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, I CANNOT LEXUS TO HELP AND WILL BE PAYING $3500 TO REPLACE! I WORK IN TRANSPORTATION SAFETY AND I MUST SAY THIS IS A HUGE HAZARD AND THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING SOMEONE CAN DO TO MAKE LEXUS FIX THIS PROBLEM BEING THEY ARE NOT GOING TO CARE ABOUT FIXING IT ON THEIR OWN! *TR
