Consumer Description

OK I BOUGHT A LEXUS RX300 1/08/10 WAS CONSTRICTED IN DRIVING IT DUE TO THE SNOW STORMS HITTING THE NORTHEAST. I GOT THE CAR WITH 128,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW IT HAS 129,095. I GO TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL TODAY AND WHILE ON A BACK HIGHWAY DOING 45-50 MPH MY CAR LOOSES POWER AND I HAVE TO STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND PUSH IT OFF. I GO TO TRY AND MOVE THE CAR AND SHIFT GEARS AND IT DOESN'T MOVE. I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK AND GOT A TOW HOME AND CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME TO BASICALLY GO EFF' MYSELF. I SUSPECT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AND WILL FIND OUT TOMORROW BECAUSE I CALLED LEXUS AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO A DEALER AND THEY WILL CALL ME IN 1-2 BUSINESS DAY. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING SPEEDS EXCESS 50 WITH MY SON IN THE CAR THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT I HOPE YOU CAN HELP. I HAD THE CAR FOR 45 DAYS.... *TR
