yes I test drove it. But not in traffic...I posted here to see if others were having the same problem with this model year. I think its pretty idiotic of you to say I am immature because I am not happy with the vehicle and the service I am getting from Lexus...I spent $40K+ on this car. To say I should just switch it out and take a huge loss is ridiculous. If you or your wife had this issue with a new car you just bought, you would be *BLEEP*ed too. Did I mention the dealer told me this is a common complaint? with both this vehicle and the ES350. Yet they refuse to fix the problem. And I did see other posters in this forum with a similar problem although not for the 2009 year. Kia Sorrento? Laughable. I bought the Lexus because I thought it would be a reliable and quality, high end vehicle. Instead its just a piece of junk, all hype. and Lexus doesn't take care of its customers. who cares if its the "fastest & best selling Lexus SUV" if I am having a TRANSMISSION PROBLEM with it. Oh ya, sorry, I forgot about that statistic, i guess that makes me feel better. NOT! Instead of being helpful you insult me...Thanks

i bought a 2009 rx350 last year. right away I moticed the transmission acts weird especially when in traffic or after I slow down and turn a corner then accelerate or come to a stop sign and then go immedialtely. sometimes it feels like its in neutral. Other times its lurching and shuddering. I have brought it to Lexus dealership 4x and they said its working as designed. I also called lexus and they looked into it via the dealership and said they arent going to do anything for me because its working as designed. they said its a "learning transmission" and that the way I drive probably causes it. I get about 21 mpg average and i do not drive it aggressively. I do find it to be a granny mobile with no power whatsoever. i hate the car and I hate Lexus. I will NEVER buy another vehicle from them or toyota and ny husband is due for a new car soon and he wont consider them either. I have told everyone i know about it. I cant believe a 45K car drives this bad. its unsafe someone coud hit me because it hesitates so much... i want my honda back!!!

I have this same prpblem with my 09 rx350...they told me its working as designed. Sometimes it seems like its in neatral after I stop at a stop sign and then go immeidately. I hate this car. I hate lexus. I feel like driving the car thru the dealership window!!! I have had the car for a year noe and if i knew it drove like this I would NEVER have bought it.
