Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 RX300 BY LEXUS. THIS HAS IN GENERAL BEEN A GOOD VEHICLE, UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHEN I WAS 350 MILES FROM HOME. THE INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO SHOWED ME INFORMATION THAT INDICATED THE LEXUS VEHICLES FROM 1998 - 2002 HAVE A HISTORY OF SIGNIFICANT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THESE PROBLEMS INCLUDE THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE INABILITY IN SOME CASES OF GETTING A NEW "REBUILT" TRANSMISSION TO SYNC WITH THE VEHICLE COMPUTER. THE INFORMATION I READ INDICATED THAT UP TO 25% OF VEHICLES IN THESE MODEL YEARS HAVE FAILURE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. *TR
