transmission
When driving my car with engine/trans cold, it does not seem to shift smoothly from 1-2, its not abrupt, but not real smooth. Once the engine/trans are at operating temp everything is fine. Is there a service recall or does anyone have a similar problem? I have 33000miles and its a 2007.

This web site is loaded with 2007 ES350 transmission problems. Mine was replaced in 12/06 with only 1,000 miles on the new car. I would suggest taking it back to a Lexus dealership and they can check the VIN to see if any transmission work was done. I hope you have a warranty still left on your car.

My used 07 (52.5 k km) had the 3-4 flare (so called), just gave me an occasional push in the back under slow steady acceleration. Dealer re-programmed the TCM (transmission control module), and no more problems; beautiful smooth transmission.

My vehicle is still under warranty until 100,000miles. I purchased an extended warranty for my vehicle. I am making a small list of complaints with the vehicle so I can get most of it resolved with one visit. BTW, was the new car factory warranty 3-36000miles or 4-50000miles?

There was a recall or a service campaign, I don't recall which, for the VVTi oil hose which could break. It's a good thing your car was done. I don't know what the other item would be.
