Had to make a hard stop. The check engine light and VSC lights came on. Went to auto zone and the analyzer shows a code P1135. Any ideas regarding repairs, etc.? Vehicle is a 2001 RX300 AWD with 71,000 miles. Runs fine. Tried resetting lights but they come right back on. Replaced gas cap.

P1135 sounds like a oxygen sensor.

I just got done using Zaino products on my '04 blue IS.  I used the car wash, Z5 polish, Z2 polish with the ZFX additive and the Z6 spray in between coats of the other stuff.

Good thing I had the day to myself.  The results were worth it, amazing shine.  Stuff is easy to apply/remove and smells good too    :P  :P

The fact of the matter is I simply will not allow you to discredit my opinion because of my age, which you still insist on doing. I DO in fact own a vehicle inflicted with this problem EVERY Lexus is inflicted with this problem. Drop into the ES forum and read some posts in there. Drop into the LS forum, Lexus just replaced the transmissions on ALL 2004 LS430s as a warranty item. I apologize for responding the way that I did but regardless of what you say your comment was designed to discredit me to the other poster. "Don't mind him he's a stupid kid". Well, I'm not a stupid kid I'm a 23 year old man that owns a business and is a college graduate. I am just as qualified to state my opinion as you are sir. I deal with car dealerships for a living, thats my job and I am very good at it. I think I may have some sort of unique insight into how to best deal with them, regardless of my age.

I would never ban anyone for disagreeing with me, I myself was banned from another Lexus forum because I disagreed with an entire 3/4 of the members population (you don't want to prefer something other than a Lexus GS on this other particular forum) so trust me, that I would never do. That said I'm not going to allow members of this forum downtrod each other and discredit each other's points of view because of whatever differences there may be between them. This is something that happens a lot on luxury car forums, the older and the "wiser" tend to discredit the younger. Makes no difference here.

That out of the way, I'm perfectly willing to go on discussing the matter at hand, on equal footing.

If you want Lexus to address the hesitation issue in specific the first thing you're going to need to do is isolate a case lodged with the NHTSA where the delay in the e-throttle system is attributed to a collision, so far there aren't any. I know one member on the ES forum is having Lexus swap his ES300 (2003 year) for a new Lexus, either a 2005 ES330 or a GS300. This isn't really going to help him as both of those cars exhibit the same throttle lag but its definately a start, meaning Lexus has left the door at least partially open and is willing to consider buybacks on vehicles where the driver simply cannot deal with the throttle lag. I suggest anyone who wants info on how he's accomplished this check out the ES transmission thread that is at the top of the ES forum.

I noticed a problem with my tranny also and the dealer said "tough luck". I took the valve body out of the tranny took it to a friends garage, made a few adjustments, increased some spring tension, replaced some check balls and presto no more problems.
