I'm on my fourth lexus now ('04 LS430 Ultra; 35k miles), and all of them seemed to have this charactersitic:
When I'm slowing down to about 10-15mph and begin making a left or right turn onto another street, once I give it gas, the transmission seems to downshift into first, causing the car to lurch.
It almost seems like a slip/hesitation but, like I said, this is something I've noticed in the other Lexuses I've owned ... but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed it? Thanks.
