Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2005 lexus es330 and have had consistent problems with the vehicle's acceleration and deceleration. the vehicle hesitates during acceleration and suddenly lurches forward. also, during deceleration the vehicle suddenly slows down upon releasing the gas pedal. this has become a serious issue in heavy traffic and i''m concerned it may lead to an accident. i have reported the issue to the dealer on two occasions but have received a standard response that there is nothing wrong with the car. i''m hoping the dot will initiate a recall and have the manufacturer fix the problem. i'm deeply concerned and shocked at the number of similar reports filed with the dot. *nm
