At 59000 miles my 2010 Lexus experienced rough shifting up through the gears and down the gears until the car comes to a full stop. I took the vehicle to the Lexus dealer near me in Florida. They diagnosed the rough shifting as a bad transmission that needed to be replaced. Although the powertrain has a 7 year 70,000 mile warranty for defects, the factory customer satisfaction representative only offered to offset the $7,000 cost of transmission replacement by $3,000. I do not think that I should be responsible for any portion of the cost associated with the premature failure of the transmission. Although the vehicle is 10 model years old it has been carefully driven less than 60,000 miles. Most of the miles are highway miles as this is our second car and is used primarily for driving trips. It is garaged during inclement weather. Has been serviced only by a Lexus dealer since new. It is my concern that Lexus has provided me with a defective product that failed after 59,000 miles through no fault on my behalf. Because the car exceeded the years of the warranty sitting in a garage not being used should not be the deciding factor. I request your assistance to have Lexus correct a defective transmission that has not been used for the 70,000 miles that should be the controlling factor not the amount of time the vehicle was only lightly used and carefully maintained
