My car has around 50K miles...everything seems fine. Just have transmission fluid, brake fluid and all the maintenance done. But the car shake when the gear is in 'Park(P)'. It's no that bad of a shake, not like the engine is going to shut off, but you can feel it shake. I'm not sure what could be the cause of this, could it be the battery? I just have battery replace at 45K miles.

 

Definitely not the battery.
Does it throw a code?
I know it's pretty annoying.
my wife car does the same.
Feel like a slight miss fire.
But only on park, if I put on drive is go away.
I'm going to clean the injectors and the throtlle body when is reach 75K (2K more miles).
Hopefully fix the problem

 

Plugs? Motor Mounts?

 

when im sitting in my car, in park or neutral, you normally feel the engine vibrations, vibrations are very normal in a car, but every once in awhile a strong vibration comes along and i can feel it, but it last for about half of a second. if thats the same problem, its perfectly normal. My Lexus does it also

 

what is your RPM at when it is in park(when it is shaking)? Does it shake when you put it in neutral, too or just in park?

 

Ive had 20 year old Chevy's that have had less problems than TL's. Better ride quality and more reliable. I feel bad bad for people who paid full price for these cars cause they are not worth it. Ill stick to Lexus cause they are more quality and over all better cars. Sorry if I bursted some bubbles here but TL's are JUNK including mine

 

Oh yea because lexus is perfect My tl has been more reliable than my friends LS400. He has had more problems than mine and has vowed to never own another lexus. Hell his old 7 series gave him less trouble and that was in the shop every month.

 

Maybe not perfect but more of a pleasure to drive. TL's ride like crap, transmisions are crap. Not sure about LS 400 but ES 300 are pretty close to perfect. Sorry your offended but the topics on this forum speaks for itself. My 87 Cavalier rode better and never had 1 problem with the tranny with 220,000 and I abused this car cause it was a beater winter car. I baby my TL with 138,000. The motors are strong.

 

Comparing the TL to the ES300 is like comparing apples to oranges

My tl doesnt ride like crap and is a hell of alot more pleasurable to drive than a overpriced camry

To each their own.

 

Definatly
