ctES3502007driver Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Hi , I just got ES 350 2007 with 26 000 miles on it. Nice car, quiet ride. I've noticed this: when it's in a parking o neutral position it's flawless, quiet ,can't feel a thing. But in a Drive or Revers I can feel enging is working,it's not really shaking, but it's different from "parking". When I'm driving can't feel it.If it was any other car I would not pay attention to this, but it's the most expensive car I ever bought. So, Is it something that needs to be adressed or I'm just paranoid? Still have 11 month of factory warranty Any advice? Thnanks

Can you guys just tell me if your car works defferent in a PARK and DRIVE. Can you feel it?
mhawkin1 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Congrats on the purchase of your 350. Folks might not be responding because they don’t understand your exact question (as I don’t). If you mean the 350 feels ‘rougher’ idling in the drive and/or reverse gears, that may just be due to the lower RPM’s you are experiencing in those gears, whereas in park the RPM’s are higher giving you a smoother engine feel. I am sure someone else could more eloquently explain this, but those are my thoughts on what I perceive to be your question. Cheers
SW03ES Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 There's always going to be a difference in the feel of the engine, the tone of the engine's sound, and the RPM when you shift to a drive gear, meaning DRIVE or REVERSE. When the engine is idling in park or neutral there is no load on the engine, when its shifted into a drive gear the engine is connected to the drivetrain and there is a load placed on it. Its probably normal.
