1 Transmission Slip Out Of Gear problem of the 2003 Lexus ES

Failure Date: 08/01/2006

I own a Lexus 2003 Es. The transmission is performing unsafely! 1. At stop lights, while holding the car stopped with the brake, the trans wants to go and the car lunges forward. 2. At low speeds (20 -30 mph) the car doesn't know what gear to be in. The trans will jump down causing the rpms to suddenly increase then slam into the next gear lunging the car forward. 3. My biggest concern driving downhill at highway speeds, when the brake is applied, the trans jumps out of overdrive into 4th gear lunging the car forward! I am afraid of what may happen when the road is wet!.
