Consumer Description

AT MOST SPPEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED OR AT SPEEDS BELOW 40 MPH, MY LEXUS ES330 HAS A SEVERE HESITATION/ACCELERATION DELAY THAT WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, ACCELERATION IS DELAYED AT LEAST 1.5 SECONDS, IS UNPREDICTABLE AND COMPROMISES SAFETY AND PLACES THE DRIVER AT RISK IN MOST DAY TO DAY DRIVING SCENARIOS. IT IS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO MATCH THE SPEED OF A VEHICLE IN FRONT WHEN IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED, THE ES330 WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL FORWARD FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN ACCELERATE, IT WILL NOT "CREEP" AT THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. I AM TOLD BY LEXUS THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND IS INHERINT IN THE VEHICLE DESIGN. IF THIS IS TRUE, ONE WOULD THINK THIS DESIGN FLAW WILL SOON ECLIPSE THE FIRESTONE/FORD EXPLORER INJURIES OF THE PAST.*AK
