Transmission Flare Solved

Transmission Flare Solved
I took my ES 350 in for the 10,000 mile oil change on Friday. While I was waiting for the cashier, (oil change was $37.95) a salesman was standing near by and asked what type of Lexus I had. I replied a 2007 ES 350. He then asked how I liked it and I replied "Have had no serious problems just minor ones" After that I said "Thank goodness no transmission problems."
To that the salesman replied and I quote, "No need to worry as it was a software problem and it has been fixed"
I did not want to laugh in his face and just said that was good to know and continued with my transaction with the cashier.
I thought you would all enjoy his comment.

Transmission Slip repair #1
My ES has a flare about 200RPM every morning. I took a video of it the day I brought it in for service. The Service Manager didn't want to see the video, he said he believed me and if I was willing to show him the video he didn't need to see it.
He ordered a "throttle body" for me because he thinks it will solve the problem for me. We'll see... this will be service visit #1 to fix the transmission slip.

I follow motorcycles closer than cars nowadays and Harley, BMW & Honda have all tried to bury problems over the years and they have not gone away.
The standard corporate line of "they all do that" ...etc is so transparent that it now automatically means "I'm lying to you"

That's cool. I know where you are headed. You have reached a milestone when they admit there is a problem and are trying to fix it. If the fix doesn't resolve the problem....keep pursuing a fix for your transmission. Do I hear a buyback in your future?
When Lexus offered me a buyback, they had the nerve to call the transmission slipping a "normal characteristic". When I asked them why on earth would they replace my transmission at the cost of $4K? Lexus responded that the replacement was made for customer service reasons. Then I responded, "Won't the customer be really mad when the supposed "fix" (which Lexus knows will NOT work) fails again?" The response was...let's work on this buyback.
