Consumer Description

I AM LEASING A 2004 LEXUS RX 330 FWD WITH ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I TRY TO APPLY THE THROTTLE AFTER SLOWING DOWN THERE IS A SEVERE HESITATION, USUALLY FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN SURGE IN POWER. AT TIMES THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL HESITATION WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS DECIDING WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHILE MAKING A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, AND ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IF THERE ARE PEDESTRIANS IN THE INTERSECTION. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE LEASING DEALER (LONGO LEXUS) AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH PROVIDED A TEMPORARY AND PARTIAL FIX. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, APARENTLY THE TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMED ITSELF AND THE PROBLEM RETURNED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A SECOND DEALER AND HE SAID THAT THEY HAD MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT DRIVELINE, BUT THERE WAS NO FACTORY FIX. I CALLED LEXUS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THE SAME. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER I GOT THE CAR IN APRIL 2003 AND STILL EXISTS. IF LEXUS TRULY WANTED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE. THEY NEED A PUSH. *AK
