Ok...so all this talk about "hesitation" has gotten me interested. I currently own a 2003 Rx330 and I just want to make sure this hesitation applies to me before I go to the dealership. Im experiencing a kind of "jolt" during the beginning of acceleration, between 0-5 mph and occasionally, but very slim, during slow speeds. The car cannot respond to the rate of acceleration that I need, and it tries to make up for it causing a jolt forward. This usually happens during repeated stop sign action, as during a "rolling stop" you try to accel, but instead get the hesitation. Please tell me if this applies to the transmission hesitation.
On a totally different thing, some people say they dont experience the window wind rattle, but I still do!!!
