newlexusguy Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Is there a consensus as to whether the transmission hesitation issue exists in the 2005 RX330? I'm looking at buying one, and the salesperson is assuring me that the problem no longer exists. I frankly am not convinced. Can anyone tells me what the status is? Thanks in advance.

If you scan the Sienna boards (www.siennaclub.org) and this forum, you'll find that it is a prevalent issue - keeping in mind, somewhat a subjective call, based on how one drives. Gentler drivers may not experience. I've also noticed some hint that this issue can develop over time based on the electronics learning. I notice it more often now than when new 6 months ago - but have not experienced the near stall that some report while accelerating during a turn. My observations from the boards suggests that more people claim it does exist than doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely will ask my Lexus dealer at 15000 check up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryray Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Test drive one. Come to a slow crawl, as if you were paying a toll, 5pmh, then try rapid acceleration, you WILL know if it's there or not. My 330 will hesitate long enough to scare the &^%$ out of you should you need to merge quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
