I have 2002 IS300 with E-Shift.
When I first purchased this car, I thought it hesitates from going from 1 st. to 2 nd. gear.
I have spoken to Lexus Techs at their website and I was told to take it to a dealer for them to test this. Dealer told me that many have complained about it, but it normal. I was at the dealer last week for 5,000 mile service and I'm told they still have no fix or that they don't want to fix it.
Is there a fix out there?
