problem #1

Sep 092004

ES 330 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Tranmission problems: I have been experiencing transmission hesitations which I do not expect in any Toyota products; another word, there are hang ups between gears, especially 1st to 2nd. This is extremely dangerous, especially in a busy and crazy houston traffic because the car does not give the sufficient acceleration when one needs it. That 1 or 2 second hesitation could cause an accident. To confirm this existing problem, I test drove the rx 330, highlander and Solara. It is even worse
