I finally got a code yesterday. The code was p0756(solenoid b). Kinda got excited to get a code,lol!
So I ended up taking the solenoid from my old and installed to the new. The problems are still there.
WTF!!! Now, I have to see if it's ecu related or wire harness. I'm thinking ecu, so I'm looking around for one. I'm getting really fed up with this car. Don't think I want to get a gs again. This is big time bullshxt!! My second gen is a lot more reliable. My second gen has a lot more mileage(165k) never had any weird electrical issues. You would think a newer gs would be more reliable, but this is totally
Bull!!!

What did you do? reset the ECU? by removing the battery or the fuse?

jerking/hesitation at low speed
I had the same problem until I read this thread. I didn't know where to start troubleshooting but it seemed most of you favored targeting the transmission. I went to Lexus to ask about a transmission service, they did not recommend doing anything. They said its a maintenence free unit so I went to a very trusted transmission shop. He recomennded BG service which is about $250. It is a purge of the unit and fill with BG synthetic fluid. I have done it to other cars I've had and could always feel the difference.
Now that jerking/hesitation is gone and I can't be happier with the way it shifts. It feels like it must have felt coming new out of the factory.

Im not sure if it will get worse but from my research it seems like it will run like this forever... it only happens under low acceleration between 20-50 mph thats when the torque converter is engaged
