4 Engine problem of the 2004 Lexus ES330

Failure Date: 01/19/2004

Ever since I purchased by 2004 ls430, I have noticed an unacceptable engine vibration. This is noticeable during idle/first start-up. The engine vibrates and can be felt in to the cabin. This happens when the engine revs are between 1200 -1400 rpms. This is very disappointing for a $62k Lexus! I have brought this to the attention of a Lexus dealer and have gotten the "it must be bad gas" bs. I told them I only use chevron supreme (92), which I also use in my BMW with no problem. A second time, they indicated that it was normal and not a problem. This is something I wouldnt in a vehicle.
