problem #1

Jun 012004

ES 330 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles
This car is extremely dangerous. It's either a defective transmission or bad drive-by-wire design.the car hesitates extremely badly on acceleration. For example, when you are entering a limited access highway, if you slow down and then step on the gas, there is a long lag before the car begins to pick up speed. This lag is often a second or more. I have nearly been hit numerous times while the car makes up its mind whether it wants to move or not.the dealer has refused to fix the problem.
