Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2000 lexus rx300 with less than 72,000 original owner miles on it had sudden transmission failure. after exiting my driveway gate and stopping, i tried to accelerate but the car rolled backwards towards the gate (the end of the drive is sloped uphill) as if the transmission selector was in neutral. i applied brakes, stopped, reselected drive and was able to continue to my destination. the automatic shifting between first and second seemed to be delayed and to be slipping, so i took it to the lexus dealer. they had to replace the transmission. *tr
