My car went in for its 5000 mile service yesterday, as well as getting the hesitation problems adressed. The car has been having terrible hesitation problems that have been discussed many times on this board. Unfortunately, the problem caused an accident this past weekend as my wife was pulling out on the highway and the car would not go. The car that was coming up the road hit its brakes and the car behind it slammed into the backend. I informed Lexus of the accident and that this ECU & TRAC problem is a safety issue. The unfortunate part is the ECU upgrade that has been so widely discussed is still in testing mode and there have been many reported problems with the fix. Also the TRAC fix is still unavailable. Lexus informed me today that they are keeping my car to at least May 15, 2001 because the fix should be complete and available at that time.
I told Lexus to get me a new car as I do not want to be without my car for 3.5 weeks.
What do you guys think about this situation??
I am going to push them for a GS.
