The fix has been sweet so far! NO HESITATION!
Unfortunately....YES! I wonder if the 2006 Rx400h have the same problem?

All hybrid vehicles to this date including the RX400h use CVT, so the tranny issue with the 330 doesn't apply at all to the 400h.

The 400h has a CVT transmission so it's not an issue at all ... all reports about the CVT have been wonderful so far. One more positive for going to hybrid route.

Had this done on Friday and it definitely helps a great deal. MUCH better, but still not great. I haven't had many hard shifts, but it still doesn't feel as smooth as you'd think it should. That being said ... from what I've experienced SO FAR, I would recommend the tranny recalibration.

This tranny issue shouldn't even exist! Personally, I'm almost hesitant ( ) to purchase another Lex...

I had the fix done on Friday and I must say it is a big improvement. I recommend it.

Appreciate feedback from anyone who did the software upgrade, is the HESITATION issue will be gone forever or it will come back after a while??

I'll let you know. I dropped mine off Thursday morning and they hope to have it ready for me by Monday night. This fix is one of the things they're doing to my car. (20k service, TSB for ecu flash, broken rear wiper, broken sunroof, data dot improvement, brake booster recall, drivers windows sometimes goes down by itself, removing grease they got all over the ceiling last time the sunroof was serviced)

After using this loaner DODGE NEON for 5 days, having the RX-330 back will be a PLEASURE.

It's been a little over a month since I had my "fix" and it's still smooth!

Man you need to tell your Lexus dealer to get with the program--A NEON Tell them that you dont have a dodge---Jeez


Once my Lexus dealer didnt have a 330 loaner so she put me in a new 4Runner
