Re: No Driver Ed.

the Lex ES slips into neutral easily at 70 MPH (with throttle fully open), my test speed. Ignition could be turned off before car came to a full stop. Didn't do the brake / WOT test, why beat up moms car?

I would be very surprised if this is not the case with all cars.

Sorry for these tragedies but come on, how could that trooper have let this happen? Makes no sense other than failure of the part between the seat and the steering wheel.
