Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Leased lexus 2005 model es330, there is a problem with the transmission where therewas a delay in shifting and the engine raced at 4000 rpm s before the transmission downshifted very hard. this acted like a major transmission slippage and a hard shift, the car hesitates as you are pulling into traffic and in a split second i have almost been hit from behind because the car did not respond normally. lexus admitted that they have this problem in the 2004, 2005 and 2006 models. dealer had a service rep look at it and state they cannot put anymore computer programs on the car and it's driving as it was designed. *ak
