There is a problem with hesitation with my 2005 Lexus ES 330. When the accelerator is depressed in certain situations there is a lag before the engine responds. This is a serious safety issue with this automobile. Lexus said the vehicle checks out fine. I disagree and from what I read on the net this has been a problem in past years with Lexus automobiles.
