Consumer Description

I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2005 LEXUS ES330 IN 2005. THE CAR STARTED EXHIBITING TRANSMISSION HESITATION PROBLEMS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE LEXUS DEALER IN CERRITOS, CA MANY TIMES, AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS BEHAVIOR AS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD LOOK AT AND FIX. I WAS TOLD IT IS HOW THE COMPUTERS ARE IN THE CAR AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR HESITATES TO PICK UP SPEED WHILE YOU AR ON STOP SIGN OR MORE IMPORTANTLY WHEN CHANGING LANES ON FREEWAY OR AT TIMES YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR SUDDENLY. YOU WILL GET A JOLT AND LACK OF POWER FOR A SECOND AND THEN QUICK SPEED. NOW WITH ALL OF THE PROBLEMS COMING OUT OF THIS COMPANY, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO BRING THIS ISSUE AND I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. I USE THIS CAR BUT TRY TO USE SPARINGLY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. *CN
