2005 Lexus ES330 Engine cooling Problems

“Vehicle hesitates terribly upon acceleration. I've called dealer numerous times and was told this is normal until the last call. Now Lexus acknowledges the problem and offers a remedy! Fort myers dealer recalibrated the ECM and urged use of name brand premium fuel only! Since these two changes have been made, improvement has been made, but not eliminated. There is still something not correct about trying to merge onto a highway and having the engine bog down as trucks bear down upon you!”

“Dt: caller says vehicle has several problems., brakes vibrated, and she had to pump them. Also, rear suspension problems, traction control problems, and cooling system problems in the engine.. Vehicle was at dealer for 4 days the first time and they were unable to give her any information on the diagnostic test. Manufacturer could not provide caller with any information because they have not contacted the dealer yet. Caller is waiting for manufacturer to call her back. Also, caller had problems with the lights inside the vehicle and dash lights. .”

“On december 5th, 2012 around 1:50 pm in the afternoon, I drove the car to pick up our nephew from school. While I was slowing down and looking for a parking place suddenly the car sped up and accelerated! Even though I applied hard on the brake the car kept running very fast and only stopped when it hit bushes and the house on the right of the road. I was lucky that no kids came out from school yet and no other cars were nearly so damages only caused to the car and the property.”
