My Lexus ES300 has been having this intermittent problem for approximately two years....it will not shift into 4th gear..at first my mechanic and I thought it was an ambient temperature problem because it seemed to happen in the cold weather...as of this date (7/201/2018) the problem is still occurring..it has also started "bucking"..it can run perfectly for a day...my mechanic has been dealing with this problem since the above mentioned time period and has addressed all the codes...our latest "repair" was to "splice into one knock sensor" therefore only using one knock sensor.(their are two) .this only worked for awhile...my mechanic is quite versed with Lexus products & people from Lexus even call him for advice...he believes their is a "glitch" in the computer program...the car has had a new transmission as well as a new computer in the past; to no avail..it's a shame because this automobile looks like it came out of the showroom yesterday (obsessive compulsive)!! Any suggestions???
