Computer modifications-Recall
What cars presently have computer programs that will reduce the fast engine revs when you quickly apply the brakes? I think Mercedes and a few European cars are on this list.
It seems that 3 items are currently being mentioned in the media that Toyota is considering to correct this issue:
1.Label on dash indicating emergency stop procedures.
2.Accelerator redesign.
3.Computer modifications.
Does anybody have any updates on other modifications on the ES 350 that are being considered?
I currentlly have a 2010 ES 350 (silver/black) on order to be delivered 12-05-09, and plan to have a 3M clearbra installed the front of the car for $600. Also, I have arranged to have the Michelin MXV S8 tires traded out and a set of new Michelin MXV Primacy tires installed for $650, (which includes a credit for 4 S8 tires of $200). The Lexus dealers can not install the Primacy tires, because they are H rated (215/55/17) and the car comes standard with V rated tire. Due to liability issues, they will only install tires with the same speed rating as the origional tires sent from the factory.
