I have an '09 ES350 with 1000 miles. I noticed it today for the 1st time. The vehicle was fully warmed up.....been driving for at least 40 minutes. I find it hard to reproduce though.....seems like you have to have the throttle about 1/2 way down. I thought I noticed it between 2nd and 3rd.....but it may have been 3rd to 4th. I'll have to drive much more in order to pinpoint and reproduce the problem.

Same model year and mileage for me. I have noticed what I'm guessing others have called a "shift flare" at least 4 times, and never when the car was cold. FWIW, it is my wife's car, and even though I have driven it for very few of those 1000 miles, I have repeatedly experienced this occurence. I as well can't yet tell if it was 2nd - 3rd, or 3rd - 4th. After all, it's my first car with more than a four speed tranny, and it is so smooth...

Truly disgusting. I realize that everyone in entitled to their own opinion, but there IS such a concept as TASTE. Which, as evidenced above, is sorely lacking in some people.
