    UPON TAKING DELIVERY OF NEW RX350 I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A TRANSMISSION WHINE. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY FACTOR BECAUSE I AM CONSTANTLY THINKING OF THE PROBLEM AS I DRIVE. MY MIND IS NOT ON DRIVING AS IT SHOULD BE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO DEALER AND SHOP FOREMAN DROVE THE CAR AND HEARD THE NOISE. HE SAID DON'T WORRY AS I HAVE A WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A VIABLE ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM. WHAT IF I BREAK DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. TALKED WITH SALES MANAGER AND HE STATED WAIT UNTIL THE 2010 MODEL COMES OUT. HE WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. *TR
