Automatic Transmission problems of the 2008 Lexus LS460

2008 Lexus ls400. Consumer states vehicle does not always accelerate properly and has been unable to start on two occasions after long trips. The consumer stated he received a recall notice in the mail, but was informed the parts would not be available for several weeks.

We've purchased a 2008 Lexus 460 on Jan 2008, within few months we started noticing a jerking reaction of the engine while the car was stopped or idling in gear most of the time. Over time we've taken the car to the dealer (at least 4 times) with no substantial improvements, they've upgraded the transmission software checked it out and could not come up with a fix. The last was in November 09 and we were told to contact the CO. Fo factory rep to inspect the car. So far they have not inspected the car and we are afraid that it may cause to an accident.
