Exclamation 2015 IS250 F-sport rev concerns

Hey guys I've had my car for a few months now but recently it seems to struggle a bit when accelerating. My car is bone stock and I didn't do anything to my car to **** it up. Any insight or advice? Thanks a lot!

There probably isn't much here we can tell you. Best to just take it in and have the service department evaluate it for you.

Good luck, and let us know what you find out.

What kind of accelerating struggle? Being too "slow"? If that's the case, then it's just how the 250 is.
Share a video?

If it's something else, take it to the dealership for help. The warranty should cover it.

Disconnect the battery for a few mins to reset the ECU; see the dealer if problem persists.

Well if your CEL is off, I would say you maybe got some lousy fuel or a clogged injector..

Is it idling rough?

Too little information to go off of. Any check engine light, vibrations? Extra hot that day? High humidity? The car does learn your driving habits so by disconnecting the battery as Noeh above has mentioned, you will revert it to a factory-like state (just make sure to leave it disconnected for at least a good 10 minutes before reconnecting).

Nothing shows up like the engine check light it just feels like there is a lag when i accelerate. It didnt feel that way before. I clocked in a little over 4,000 miles on it already if that info helps but I'll try and take a video some time soon. Thanks for the feed back tho guys much appreciated. It may not even be a problem but i just worry about my car yknow.

Its the engine... that V6 2.5L engine is only 204hp... and its trying to pull a 3500lb+ car don't expect much.

I know I always stares at the dealer service guy a bit when a they attempt to give me an IS250 as a loaner... there's no pickup when you try to accelerate on it.
