2006 LEXUS ES330 Complaints

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) OUR 2006 LEXUS ES330 HESITATES AND STUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A SLOW-DOWN, STOP OR DURING A TURN. I HAVE READ VARIOUS THINGS WHICH SUGGEST IT COULD BE THROTTLE CONTROL, COMPUTER CONTROLLED ACCELERATOR, OR MASS AIR FLOW MAF SENSOR OR AIR INTAKE SENSOR AIS, ETC. ETC. BUT SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG. DEALER IS NO HELP. WE TOOK THE CAR FOR THIS TROUBLE TO LEXUS OF VALENCIA AND SAW ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] . HE TOLD US THAT THIS THE WAY THE CAR WAS BUILT. I THEN TRIED MY BEST TO HANDLE THIS CAR BUT IT CAUSED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND AGAIN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER A 2ND TIME -- VALENCIA LEXUS AND THE MANAGER TOLD US NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1/14/2009. IT HESITATES WHEN I TAKE TURNS, OR WHEN I STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. MANY TIMES THE ACCELERATOR GOES IDLE DURING THESE EVENTS AND CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND THAN I PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT THEN IT GOES FAST AND I ALMOST END UP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR
