As title saids.....

Seems like my car is doing a lot of strange things lately... first off was the battery and now this...Not sure if any of you have experienced this...

So here goes....

The car starts up fine, no problems there... But.... when i'm accelerating my car won't shift the gears say from 1st to 2nd... or somethings 2nd to 3rd...

You can feel and see the RPM going up.. but just wont change the gears when it should and then suddenly it would jerk and then shift the gears... its not at all smooth...... i seriously gotten myself carsick from it... Seems dangerous to me, if the car doesnt respond to the way i want it to.....

This happened before, but then it went away. So I didn't think it was a big deal.. but its so frequent now and annoying.....

I tried calling Richmond Lexus.. but all i get is the voicemail... they probably all gone home early for the long weekend.

Any insights on this????

Thanks!
