Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Dangerous condition exists with 2002 lexus es300, where a severe hesitation exists when accelerating at slow roll (< 5mph) at intersection turns, exiting driveways, and generally anywhere when trying to get into flow of traffic when nearly stopped - especially when a turn is involved along with the acceleration. very dangerous condition exists when trying to enter lane, or make a turn, in front of fast-moving traffic. it seems the car's electronics does not regognize the accelerator's request for fuel under those conditions. a prior lexus tsb addressed transmission shifting at higher speeds, but seems to have created a new, and potentially more dangerous condition.*ak
