But a Lexus , which is supposed to mean quality, goes out at only 126,000. According to recent research on the Lexusclubowners.

Lexus dealer is claiming that the fluid needed to be replaced every 20k miles, although the user manual clearly states that under normal usage the transmission fluid does not need to be replaced.

: the contact stated while attempting to place the vehicle into the drive gear the automatic transmission control module failed. Neither the drive nor reverse gear could be engaged.
