Consumer Description

WHEN I SLOW MY LEXUS LS-430 DOWN TO ABOUT 10 - 15 MPH THEN ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE LIGHTLY, THE CAR WILL OFTEN NOT RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE. I'LL DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR FURTHER AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL RESPOND BY DOWN SHIFTING INTO A LOWER GEAR AND ACCELERATING VERY RAPIDLY. I HAVE CONTACTED LEXUS AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THIS IS A RESULT OF THE "FLY-BY-WIRE" DESIGN OF THE THROTTLE AND THAT I'LL EVENTUALLY LEARN TO COMPENSATE. THEY STATED THAT THEY CANNOT REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER TO ELIMINATE THIS CONDITION SINCE THIS WOULD REQUIRE RECERTIFICATION FROM THE EPA AND THEREFORE IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.*AK
