What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated while driving the vehicle 35 MPH the transmission failed. The vehicle acted as if it was in neutral. The vehicle restarted after a few minutes and was driven to a dealership. The vehicle continued to shift very hard and felt as if were going to stall. The dealership determined the transmission needed to be replaced. Prior to this incident there was a whining sound coming from under the hood.
My 2000 lexus rx300 transmission failed at 96,000 miles. I was in heavy traffic and was able to use gravity to drift off to the side of the road. I waited 2.5 hours for a tow truck.
