Default Vibration

I have a slight vibration under load, I only notice it under certain conditions. When I went to have my personal setting changed I mentioned it to the service guy. He had a tech come out and drive my car. The tech said he could feel what I was talking about, but had very little experience driving a CT to tell if the feeling was normal or not. My question is does anyone have a slight or any type of vibration at any speed or load?

My CT is smooth as silk at any speed, under hard acceleration and braking and it's cornering ability is unmatched for a FW Drive car under any conditions. Shame on your tech, a Lexus CT hybrid shouldn't vary from any of their other hybrids or a Prius for that matter. Maybe you should take it to another dealer (even a Toyota Dealer...they do know their hybrids). By the way the CT is my third hybrid.

Not on my CT.... But I had that vibration with a GS430. Drove me totally nuts. Dealer tried to continue to tell me that it was normal. Are you kidding me???

Absolutely NOT normal, and should be taken care of. If necessary, through the lemon law.

Never take first diagnosis...No vibrations after 3 years. Second opinion, private mechanic??

No vibrations on mine, and I've been up to 100mph and also have 125k miles on it.

If the Lexus tech can't tell if this is normal or not because he doesn't spend time in CTs often, tell him to test drive one of their new CTs on the lot and see. They have the cars right there, you can both go drive one and see the difference easily.
