| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
I have purchased two Lexus Es350s--a 2007 and a 2017. Both cars have been serviced at Lexus of atlanta and both have had transmission failure. On August 28, 2025, after my car passed emissions and had just been serviced a month prior at the dealership, my car abruptly jumped and stalled, and the "traction control" message popped up. This was extremely scary as I was driving in atlanta traffic. I immediately had it towed to Lexus of atlanta. I received a call from my service advisor with whom I have worked for many years and he said it is my transmission and quoted me $10,000+. He also had zero empathy, could not tell me why my car all of the sudden "died" and Essentially said, "these things happen and it is what it is. " those were actually his exact words. No one can explain why the transmission failed when I have had the car serviced routinely by the dealership from where the car was purchased. I just had the car serviced in July. I had no indication that the car was malfunctioning. I am unsure if the transmissions need to be recalled but this is a serious safety concern.
