#1346 of 1381 Re: Success with Manufacturer or Lemon Law? [texico] by fatrabbitslim Oct 30, 2007 (11:08 am)
Replying to: texico (Jul 25, 2007 7:33 am) The shutter you are feeling is most likely the torque converter clutch not fully locking up as it should around that speed. Unless your a certified tech I wouldn't advise you attempting to fix this problem yourself. I had the same problem on my 1999 ES300 (135K miles) I am a tech and had the proper tools to determine the problem and fix it accordingly. You might try getting a transmission serviced and putting in an additive like Bars or a "No slip" additive for Automatic Transmissions. Hope that helps

Replying to: richbf2 (Nov 10, 2007 9:01 am) "..how come..."   Because,sadly, that would be the truth of the matter had not Toyota and Lexus began to have transaxle design problems, SERIOUS design problems/flaws, going back to the introduction of the RX300 in '98.
#1350 of 1381 maybe trans problem by jdpspan Nov 14, 2007 (5:59 pm)
hi this is member JDPSPAN, i got a big problem i need help wit, i hope someone can help me before i go spend money on possibly the wrong thing. anyway my 93 es300 started leaking pwrsteering fluid bad, like every other day,then i noticed that after a while of driving the car would start to get hot.sum kinda way im thinking the pwrsteering high pressure hose goes to the radiator, i dont know! sum kinda way these two have to be working togther. then after all this, as im driving,the gas pedal becomes unresponsive,the engine jus revs but no movement, then i pull over an let the car sit for a minute, an start it back up, an it begins to drive normal,then after awhile acts up again. now im no expierenced mechanic,but i know enough about cars to know that a trans is not jus gonna go out like that! no warning,no slipping or nothin. this car has another engine in it,wit about 70,000 miles on it, the trans is the original,which total, the car has about 130,000 miles. like i said, im no expert,but these type of cars (toyota/lexus), these trans can run well up to 200,000 plus. there is no way this trans is out...there has to be some one who can tell me or kinda give me a good idea of whats goin on. becuz im about to go spend almost 1500 on a trans job i mite not need, as far as the pwrsteering issue, that i can take care of , but this trans problem is killing me, an i got to get this car fixed fast....help,help,help!!!

#1351 of 1381 Engine Codes-P0441 and P0450 again by pjl1 Nov 14, 2007 (6:55 pm)
Check engine light came on in my 97 ES300 2 months ago. The dealer read the codes as P0441 and P0450, evap purge flow and evap pressure sensor error. They cleaned sensors and re-set check light. Recently the light came on and the same codes were showing up. Dealer told me that they would change evap pressure sensor and charcoal canister, but they only changed the charcoal canister. Is this the normal procedure? The check engine light has come on again for the same codes and I am taking the car back to the dealer. Can anyone predict what the dealer will say? Should they have changed the evap pressure sensor like they said they were in the first place? Could the charcoal canister be bad again? or is it likely the evap sensor?

Replying to: jdpspan (Nov 14, 2007 5:59 pm) I have a 97 ES with 150000 miles and I just had the transmission re-built for 1800. The check engine light was indicating shift solenoid failure. Same sporadic symptoms as yours, hit gas-engine revs-car go nowhere and then gear engaged. I also had a pump seal leak and all my gaskets and rings were rock hard (so re-build shop said). Car runs like a champ now, but the 1800 hurt for sure. I tried Lucas, but to no avail. Yours may be a simple fix, but I doubt it. Replies to this message: jdpspan (Nov 15, 2007 9:12 am)

Replying to: pjl1 (Nov 14, 2007 7:08 pm) HEY, thanks. i understand what u were sayin. i just thought the trans would give a lot more notice before it went out. an no check engine light ever came on either,an hey, should i change the high pressure hoes that connect to the pwrsteering pump from the engine an to the radiator, when i do change the pump? an can i jus change the shift solenoid,wit out redoin the whole trans? an does the pwrsteering pump interact someway wit the coolant or radiator on the car, it seems like it does!  an thanks for your help to, i appreciate it,alot

Replying to: sdmillertime (Oct 09, 2007 9:36 am) Hi,   I have a similar problem with my 1994 ES 300 with 123000 miles on it. Did you ever get a diagnosis? I am considering selling my car if it needs a new transmission.   Any help would be much appreciated
#1355 of 1381 Is transmission flare problem fixed? by fromsuv2van Dec 06, 2007 (1:02 pm)
Haven't read new or recent complaints about transmission flare from 2008 ES 350 owners. Does it means the problem is now fixed? For owners that recently bought ES 350 (built date after September 2007), do some of you (hopefully none) have experienced the transmission flares?   Thanks Replies to this message: carma350 (Dec 16, 2007 10:59 pm) lexustech1 (Oct 29, 2009 6:44 pm) longtimedriver (Nov 26, 2009 12:56 pm)
