Circumstances are different. Tests can be managed to control the outcome. When you are trying to cross over 2 lanes of traffic running at least 70mph and you keep pressing the accelerator with no results and suddenly at 3/4 throttle it lunges forward just as you were about to abort your move it is pretty scary. This obviously has become a forum of opinions and enough said there. Suffice it to say I don't believe there has ever been this much print about something that was not a problem. Ray Corbett

I need to get on the list of unhappy ES 300 owners. My wife has driven a Lexus 300's since 1995 and loved them. Time to buy new car, didn't shop, just bought another Lexus. This was our first 330 and we drove it to Orlando from NC soon after purchase. With the non responsive transmission experiences I felt fortunate to get home alive. Don't drive these where there is heavy traffic because you won't be able to get out of the way. Yes, I did all the complaining at the dealership only to be informed that I didn't understand this high tech car. He was sure right about that. I was also told "you will get use to it" and burning hi-test would help. After seeing all the replies from other owners with exactly the same problem it is disgusting. Lexus builds a fine car, this was my third. They have obviously made a bad mistake with their computer throttle and they have a good enough reputation to afford to own up to this and fix it. I have considered an ad in the local paper to find if other locals have an interest in pursuing some type of action. I am new to this and I am sure everything has been mentioned to help get this fixed. I am standing by for anyone that has a great aggressive suggestion. Thanks, Ray Corbett
