TODAY WHILE DRIVING MY IS 350 ON THE INTERSTATE, IT LOST COMPRESSION QUICKLY AND BLACK SMOKE APPEARED FROM BENEATH THE CAR. IT CONTINUED TO SLOW AND STOP RUNNING. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN MY 2007 IS 350 HAS ABOUT 85,000 MILES. I CALLED AAA AND IT WAS PUT ON A FLATBED TOW AND DROPPED OFF AT A LEXUS DEALERSHIP. I'M WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THE CAUSE IS AND THE COST. HAVE OTHERS REPORTED THIS ISSUE?
