23020 mi | Car hesitates when accelerating at low revs in Eco mode occasionally. Dealer couldn't find problem through Toyota updates or on a test drive. Still present. Recommended to drive in Normal, Sport or Sport+. So much for saving fuel.. |
27280 mi | hesitation on accelerating. Confession: Owner's fault. I have a habit of holding the brake pedal lightly when starting from a stop, thus confusing the throttle by wire computer setting. The car hesitated not knowing what the hell I expected |

Harsh 2nd to 1st gear downshift. Showed a Code P0756, shift solenoid issue read by my code scanner. Lexus of Pleasanton verified the code and told me I needed a new transmission. BS. Most Lexus forums state that its likely due to the ECU which governs the transmission. Not happy with the fact that they want me to spend $5000.00 when they could check something as simple as the ECU. |

Lexus diagnosed my GS300 as having a bad transmission. I checked the Lexus forums and found that there was a possibility that the electronic control module may be the issue. I removed the module and had it sent out for repair with a note about harsh transmission shifts. Repair facility stated that the ECM also controls the transmission. They replaced a circuit on the ECM board and sent it back. I reinstalled the ECM and now it runs fine. It galls me that Lexus is not aware of the issue! |
