Scheduled meeting with Regional Lexus/Toyota Field Technical Specialist. Regional specialist went on 1 hour test drive/ride and then connected his computer/laptop to my vehicle. After 2 hours into a data dive, he identified a recurring problem on the days at the times and at the speeds I reported to the Dealer that the car severely malfunctioned. He diagnosed the problem to be the malfunctioning of the 4th gear solenoid. He authorized replacement of the entire transaxle/transmission. I have not experienced any problems with the new transaxle/transmission. Integrated Audio controls failed. Navigation/Audio/Environmental system replaced. It had had the operating system updated earlier and Dealer agreed that if the system malfunctioned again, it would be replaced at no charge.
