Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: First failure happened during a left turn at a busy multi-lane intersection. transmission dropped out of gear instead of shifting leaving me powerless at a very vulnerable time. the vehicle had sufficient momentum that i managed to drift up and over an adjacent curb. i was at the mercy of alert drivers in the intersection at the time. a lexus rebuilt transmission was installed by a toyota mechanic. after 12 months and many attempts at getting the engine light to remain extinguished i was advised today by lexus of calgary that the second transmission is now failing. the first transmission and now this one are failing to shift when required most, recently while attempting to accelerate during a lane change. it is dangerous to not have power when you need it most. *nm
