Check out this post from the LOC site. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...ic=41598&hl I just joined this forum in search of information on the very problem that you are describing. My new RX350 bothers me the most in slower traffic situations by downshifting and giving the appearance of a slipping transmission. This car only has 3000 miles on it, and I have already taken it back to the dealership with this complaint. The mechanic did acknowledge the problem on a test drive, and then told me that it was a normal function. He described the transmission as a "Learning Transmission", and said it would get used to my driving characteristics after a while. He also acknowleged that the ES350 has the same transmission, and does the same thing. If anyone out there reading this forum has had the same problem, or knows of any fixes, please let me know Thanks, Gordon Fish Sandpoint, ID
