total disappointment - 2004 Lexus ES 330
By Peter Liu - February 1 - 2:00 amThe car pulls to left and can not be repaired. I was told some cars got this way from having its suspention tied down during shipment. Its nothing a couple thousand miles wouldnt fix and the body will adjust itself. Theyre now insisting its fixed but I firmly believe it can not be fixed thats why the dealership has tried to cover it up by withholding repair orders from me and combining 2 repair attempts into one, stating the repair order will get mailed to me later etc. None of my friends and relatives will ever buy a Lexus period, especially from DiFeo Lexus in New Jersey

Faulty Transmission - 2004 Lexus ES 330
By Lucy Ricardo - January 24 - 10:00 amThis car has a definite problem that Lexus is well aware of. The problem is Lexus does not have a solution to the problem so they say the car was designed to drive this way. Every person that I have spoken to at any Lexus dealership and into management has told me the same thing. The ES 330 has a transmission problem big time, it slips and shifts very rough...no way to correct the problem. Lexus stands for Luxury export US....there is no luxury in whiplash...thats the effect of the transmission shifting!!!!!

ES 330 Bad Transmission - 2004 Lexus ES 330
By billp1 - July 7 - 10:00 amMy ES 330 has a transmission that has significant hesitation between gears. I reccomend not buying this car. This is Toyotas premier car line and the transmission doesnt even work correctly.
