NHTSA Complaint #10342032 — 2006 LEXUS ES330

IN CITY TRAFFIC, ACCELERATION WITH MY 2006 ES330 IS NOT PREDICTABLE AND IT HESITATES RATHER THAN RESPONDING APPROPRIATELY AS THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. HAS ALSO HAPPENED AS I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. OCCURS SPORADICALLY AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. CAN GO WEEKS WITHOUT IT HAPPENING. NO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS - YET. I HAVE TAKEN CAR BACK INTO LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND GOT A CANNED RESPONSE OF IT ADAPTING TO THE DRIVER PATTERNS AND IT IS RESPONDING THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO - BASICALLY TELLING ME THAT MY PROBLEM IS NOT A PROBLEM. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER LEXUS AND WILL PROBABLY GET RID OF THIS ONE MUCH SOONER THAN HOW I NORMALLY KEEP VEHICLES. *TR
