Lexus GS 2006-11 :: 2007 GS350 Skidding While Start Accelerating

I've got a used '07 gs350.. Unfortunately I bought it without doing any computer scanning to find out the faulty parts..

After I bought it I found the check vsc and check engin lights are on ! The car is skidding while I start accelerating, Nothing controls it!

I did the scanning and they told me there is an open circuit in the O2 sensor. That was right they welded the wires and the lights went off for about two days then they came back again!

I took it to them and they did the scan again. The codes are p0430 and p0420. I think they are related to catalytic converter.. They said it has leak in the EVAP system.

Does this has any deal with the Gad Cap ?! Is it really the issue is caused by the catalytic converter !!!

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2007 - Sluggish Outside Temperature Gauge

When taking our 2007 RX out of say a 72 degree garage to say a 90 degree day, it takes at least 10 minutes for the outside temp gauge to finally creep up to the ambient temperature. The gauge feels very sluggish at all other times.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 - Sluggish And Bucking While Accelerating

I bought a 2011 Ecoboost F150 last week. I test drove the crap out of it, and was pleased with it. Go figure, get it home and within a few days, when I put a little foot into it to respond to a call (vol. firefighter) it does the crazy buck me around bit. I do some looking around here and get a little paranoid about the water ingestion thing. It did throw make the CEL flash for 30 secs or so. Then I dig some more and see these things eat spark plugs. I am sitting at 86k miles on it, so I figure, let's try the simple first.

I go pick up some Motocraft plugs and within two mediocre innings of listening to the Angels play, I am finished. I take it out for a test drive, and oh my goodness... the difference. I couldn't get it to buck around or anything. I got on the highway and really got on it, to test and see... no problems whatsoever. Checking the gap on the plugs that came off, they were all between .045 and .050. Moral of my first post.... don't underestimate the importance of the basic maintenance items.

Hyundai - Elantra :: 2004 - Relatively High RPMs When Accelerating With Sluggish Acceleration?

,I have a 2004 Hyundai Elantra (stick shift) with about 104k on it. Was running absolutely great till about a month ago when I noticed that it was beginning to accelerate quite slowly. If I pushed it and got the RPMs up really high it would still pick up, but still not great performance. Also after pushing it a little hard there was a faint burning or smoke smell. Note, once it is up to speed say 60 or 70 it has no trouble maintaining such speeds. It just takes a while getting up to them. And if I really need to step on it the RPMs sky rocket with no real immediate increase in speed.

Lexus LS 2007+ :: RPMs Higher Than They Used To Be When Accelerating Slowly

I noticed the RPM's are higher than they used to be when accelerating slowly.

My car is an awd hybrid 600h with a CVT (110.000 miles) .. Do i have to check the transmission fluid? How?

Is my clutch or whatever it's called dying?

My car is still under warranty, but I'm not sure if wearable parts are included.

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Hesitation On Accelerating - Transmission Firmware?

I have sent my 2008 ES350, 47K to a dealer since it has a bit hesitation on accelerating; RPM goes upto 3K easily to get engaged to next one.

The dealer told me that no hardware problem but they did update a tranny firmware. They added that it may work right away or work after 3~4 fuelings.

What would be next step?

Lexus SC430 :: Car Acts If It Is Off When Put The Key In To Unlock

I insert the key, turn it all the way to ignition, car starts, dash is lit up, everything seems to be working. Once I let the key snap back from IGN to anything else, the engine continues to run, but the car acts as if it is off (dash completely dead, wont come out of park).

If I remote start the vehicle using my luxlink (which I've had zero problems with since it's install about 4 years ago), car starts fine, dash lights up, everything is in working order. However, I have to put the key in to unlock the steering wheel, and once I depress the brake, again, car acts as though it's off (no dash/radio/nav, anything electrical, won't come out of park), but the engine continues to run.

Ford Transmission :: 2007 F150 Acts Like Gear Is In Neutral When Goes From 2nd Into 3rd

I have a 2007 F150 FX4 with 105K on it. When it goes from 2nd into 3rd, it acts like it's in neutral. There's nothing there. This is in "D" with "OD" on. If i turn OD off, it will wind up and grab 2nd again and will coast if I let off the gas. Also, if I manually shift into 2nd, it will engage 2nd and I'll have engine braking if I let off the gas.
The trans fluid was full and bright red as is should be with no burnt smell to it.

I dropped the pan and the magnet was a little fuzzy with some metal filings but there was no metal laying in the pan. I also dropped the valve body and there were no broken snap rings and the e-clip on the OD servo was intact. The valve body was also clear of anything that shouldn't be there. I'm hoping that I can replace the shift solenoid and that will solve my issues.

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Pulling To The Right And Steering Vibration When Accelerating Hard?

I have a 2010 Lexus Es350, and I am having this issue:

When accelerating hard, the car will aggressively drift to the right. During normal driving it is otherwise fine.

When braking from 60-70mph, I will also get a significant vibration in the steering wheel.

What can be the issue here? I've read possible brake rotor, tire out of balance, alignment?

Are these 2 issues connected?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2007 - Rattling / Grinding Noise While Accelerating From Stand Still?

I have a 2007 RX350 with about 243,000kms on it. I recently purchased this car and everything is great on it except one thing. As of late, I've begun to take notice that when I accelerate from a stand still (for example after stopping at a light/stop sign), a loud rattling/grinding starts and then as I pick up speed and change gears, it fades away. The sound is more rattling than grinding. As if there is a metal bowl with some smalls stones in it and someone is just shaking that. There is also another sub issue that I'm having. There seems to be a clicking noise every time I apply the brakes or even accelerate. The same clicking noise reoccurs every time I put the gear into drive from neutral. However, when I do that, there is only click as opposed to braking/accelerating, where there are many. I'm hoping this is all part of the same issue and not isolated issues.

Lexus LS 2007+ :: LS460 - Hesitation / Lack Of Power When Accelerating From A Stop

I have a 2007 LS 460 with about 50,000 miles. Some 18 months ago, at about 35,000 miles,right after a service, I began to experience hesitation/lack of power when accelerating from a stop. Lexus fixed this by doing a software update to the transmission.

All was well till last month, when again right after a service, the car hesitated and totally lacked power , most noticeable from a rolling stop. Revs would very gradually climb to 5,000, with foot flat on accelerator, yet car barely moving. Once speed built up to highway speeds, car reacted normally. Took it back to Park Place Lexus who held the car for 10 days and did a major job changing the cylinder head, I think per L-SB-0033-08.

A month later, the hesitation/lack of power is even worse then before! I suspect the issue is the transmission, and the big surgery on the engine done last month was not required. After nearly being hit trying to merge with traffic today, the vehicle is back at the dealership, and I took their head tech for a drive. He experienced the problem, but did not venture a solution. He told me they take instructions on what to do directly from Lexus.

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: ES350 Jerks Sometimes While Driving When Accelerating Or Slowing Down From Speed

I drive 07'es350 and I have felt jerks while driving usually when accelerating or slowing down from speed. Did check with dealer before for transmission after analysis by technician he said it is perfect, recently read on internet and saw fuel filter can be an issue but when called the dealer he said filter is in gas tank and it is lifelong. Not sure what kind of diagnosis I should do to find the issue.

Within last couple days I noticed a clicking sound when reversing and accelerating forward slowly.

This occurs most of the time when accelerating while wheel is turning (like after you back out of driveway and slowly turn straight to pull away)

I've also noticed the click when pulling into garage and braking.

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Loss Of Power - Hesitation When Accelerating After Turn Intermittently

I have owned this car for six months. The car now has 39K. The problem is getting worse.

Re: Lexus 2011 LS460 AWD
Subject: Hesitation / momentary loss of power when accelerating after turn.

When accelerating after a sharp turn with light to moderate acceleration, the car will have a momentary loss of power for about 1, 2, or even 3 seconds. This does not happen often, but perhaps once every two weeks and I cannot replicate the problem despite attempting to do so.

In all cases, I am talking about DRY pavement. It always happens after a sharp turn usually to the right. (Probably because most sharp turns are to the right actually it only happened once on a left turn that I will describe below.) Acceleration is light to moderate NOT hard acceleration.

In one case it caused a serious situation. I had just purchased gas and was entering a busy freeway. When accelerating, the engine had a total loss of power for a couple seconds as a large semi truck bore down on me with its air horns blaring.

I have a strong clue that may debug this problem. Once, when turning left, the car suffered a total loss of power. There was no traffic and I kept my foot lightly on the throttle. The car remained unresponsive. The engine did not stop, but it did not respond and remained this way for at least 5 seconds until I took my foot off the accelerator and then back on to the accelerator. During this period of suspended throttle, I noticed that on the right side of the dash an orange alert symbol was flashing I think it was a swerving car? I assume this indicated that the car was losing traction and the computer decided to cut power until traction was regained. But the pavement was dry, and the acceleration was normal. In no case did I ever sense that one of the wheels was slipping.
