POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE 2004 LEXUS MODEL ES 330 HAS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE ITS TRANSMISSION THAT THE COMPANY REFUSES TO FIX. WHEN THE DRIVER TAKES HIS FOOT OFF THE GAS AND SLOWS DOWN, THEN STEPS BACK ON THE GAS, THERE IS A HESITATION AND AT TIMES A JERKING IN THE TRANSMISSION. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO LEXUS HAVE ONLY BROUGHT THE RESPONSE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT, BUT LEXUS WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER SPENDING 35,000 DOLLARS FOR A CAR, THIS IS NOT THE RESPONSE ONE EXPECTS TO HEAR! AS ONE'S LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION WITH THE PROBLEM INCREASES, THE TEMPTATION IS TO SLAM YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS TO TRY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, WHICH COULD OBVIOUSLY LEAD TO MORE SERIOUS ISSUES. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP STATES HE HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE, BUT LEXUS REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE DATE REFERENCED BELOW IS ONLY ONE OF CONTINUOUS DATES THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED; AGAIN LEXUS HAS BEEN NON RESPONSIVE AND BLATANTLY CALLOUS TO REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER TO DENNY CLEMENTS, GROUP VP OF LEXUS INFORMING HIM OF MY SAFETY CONCERNS RELATED TO THE 2004 ES330. HIS OFFICE ATTEMPTED TO APPEASE ME BY OFFERING TO SEND ME 2 FREE OIL CHANGE COUPONS OR $1,000 OFF MY NEXT PURCHASE OR LEASE OF A LEXUS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS SERIOUS HESITATION ISSUES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO EVERYONE AT THE DEALER, INCLUDING THE SERVICE MANAGER (WHO ADMITTED THE ISSUE, BUT HAD NO SOLUTION) AND GENERAL MANAGER. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *NM
