Hi All,

ES350 UL 2007.

After the 20K service, I feel the car to be a bit sluggish. While moving from a red light stop its slow to accelarate and when pushed makes quite a lot of engine noise. I can feel the slow acceleration. This happens even when the car has warmed up but more in cold weather. I know the dealer did something with the tranny at the 20k service and ever since the car is more like a camry than an ES. Have shown it to the dealer and even the Lexus technician has road tested it and they say " operating as designed", but there is a huge diff between pre and post 20k service performance. Earlier the car use to fly and was absolutely quiet( more like what you expect from a lexus and 270 hp car), now lot of noise no performance. Even on the highway I can feel it while changing lanes etc. Is anybody else experiencing the same issue?

 

You didn't go to Warnock, did you? They suck.

 

went to tri county .. they try hard but not too impressed with their knowledge and execution.. their first reply is "problem doesn't exist".

any other good service dealers..

 

What was done at the 20,000 mile service?

 

they didn't tell the whole thing but I guess they re flashed the ECM( or is it tranny?)
