Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On this day i had driven 100 miles on the highway. i proceeded to exit a ramp and my 2006 solara convertible lost drive. i was unable to park and the car wouldn't go although the vehicle was still in drive. i tried reverse and i was able to park by backing up. after several tries of driving without being able to get into drive i made several phone calls to aaa. after 30 minutes of not using the car it started up and drive was working. i proceeded on my trip. afterthe car sat for several hours i began the trip home. i made it as far as the exit where the hotel was i was to stay at that night. upon exiting the ramp i again had no drive. it was dark and no lights at the exit. i was frightened i would be hit from behind so i was able to backup onto a grassy area next to the exit ramp. again i had no drive. i waited for 20 minutes hoping this was again a temporary problem. i tried again and the car began to move slowly with the engine sounding like i was going very fast. the car was barely moving and i now smelled something burning. i called aaa and had the car towed to falmouth toyota. (100 miles but close to home.) the car has been there a week and they can't find anything wrong with it. i am told they have tested all that they can. a mechanic has driven it several times with the diagnositc equipment on it but nothing has gone wrong. i pleaded with them to drive it in excess of 60 miles to try and duplicate the problem but they state they can't justify that. i'm told i must take back the car without knowing if this will happen again. is this the reliability i should expect from toyota? *tr
