| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Since i purchased the car, i have been complaining about a hesitation and stuttering when accelerating after a slow-down or a stop. i was told there was nothing wrong several times and more recently have been told it is a design flaw in the computer-controlled accelerator and cannot be fixed. i have several times had a close call on the freeway when i needed to accelerate quickly and the car hesitated before accelerating. i have not had an accident, but have been very frightened by the delay in performance. i have had 2 previous lexus es 300's that did not have this problem. *nm |
