Consumer Description

1999 LEXUS RX 300 VEHICLE 99,000 MILES IN VERY GOOD REPAIR SUDDENLY STALLS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THE FREEWAY. NO PREVIOUS WARNING. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO "COAST" OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A SAFE AREA TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD NO LONGER MOVE, TRANSMISSION WAS REPORTED TO BE DEAD BY TWO MECHANICS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MODEL THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION FAILURES SOME CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. NEITHER WAS THE CASE WITH MY INCIDENT BUT IT IS A DISTURBING TREND. *TR
