04 lexus es330 transmission hesitation is serious danger to driver. engine hesitates when starting from a dead start. car has to be floored to move and even then it hesitates even more. also car has serious blind spots on left and right outer side mirrors (they are too small for the car). also, cruise control light stays lit even when the brake is hit or you dis-engage it. the only time the cruise control light turns off is when you physically turn it off with the switch or shut the engine off completely. this gives the driver the impression that it is on all the time even when it is off or worse they think they have shut it off but it's really still on and you have a very good chance of rear ending someone. this is extremely bad engineering and extremely dangerous. how you guys let a car like this on the road is beyond me. did you test it? if so, how did you let it pass thru to the usa? this car with it's hesitation, blind spots, and dangerous cruise control it's likely to get someone injured or killed in a hurry. car doesn't get anything near the epa ratings under any condition. i've contacted lexus customer care and they say this all normal. no help or suggestions. please get lexus to put out tsbs on these problems before someone gets injured or killed. i'm very concerned. i've been a driver for 34 years. i've never driven a car so dangerous in my life.  view

2004 pontiac vibe base,3000 miles, drivers seat has become loose to the point you can move it back and forth by hand,center of upper back is also collapsing, leaving little support to lower and upper back, had to adjust seat several times on short trips.dealer is going to replace lower left seat track first to see if this cures the problem,i can see where this might fix the movement and the popping of the seat and i do not see this fixing the seatback weakening and sinking in.  view

Egr valve continually fails (opens) , the engine looses vacume and brakes fail to function. since 1999 the egr has been replaced seven (7) times and is currently in a failure mode. in spite of the fact that there have been service bullitens issued with regard to this problem gmc has refused to address the problem. to date over two thousand dollars has been spent replacing egr valves. when driving i am in constant fear of the egr valve failing and coversly, the brakes failing.  view
