Consumer Description

THIS MODEL HESITATES IN CHANGING (HUNTING) GEARS ON HARD ACCELERATIONS. THREE TIMES I HAVE BEEN IN NEAR ACCIDENTS ON MERGING INTO FREEWAYS, CHANGING LANES FROM A STRAIGHT PATH OR FROM CORNER TURNS. THE CAR RESPONDS VERY SLOW ON HARD ACCELERATION. THE WEB IS FULL OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS WITH THIS MODEL CAR. I SUSPECT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH LEXUS' EIGHT SPEED TRANSMISSION AND HOW THEIR SOFTWARE IS INTEGRATED WITH THE POWERTRAIN. LEXUS HAD A "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT QUITE FIX IT COMPLETELY AND THEY INSIST THE CAR IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. I CAME ACROSS A TEST DRIVE REVIEW, AT WWW.AUTOBYTEL.COM, FOR A 2013 LEXUS RX 350 WITH THE LEXUS 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION AND IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS MENTIONED ABOVE AND WHICH CAUSED A NEAR ACCIDENT DURING THE AUTOBYTEL TEST DRIVE AS STATED IN THEIR ARTICLE. *TR
