Default Harmonic/vibration between ~1800-2200RPMs

I notice in my 2008 LX570 that between about 1800 and 2200 RPMs there is
a vibration, more of a harmonic. As if something in the drive linkage
somewhere is rubbing on something else. I can feel it in the gas pedal
and even in the shifter a little.

So I took my LX570 into Lexus and drove with their top mechanic. He suggested we try another new LX570 off the lot - we did and it did basically the same exact thing as mine! So now I'm thinking they all do this. Anyone else know or experience what I'm talking about?

Regards,
Jason

Default Vibration thread

Yep, this has been discussed extensively on this thread:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=360735

My vibration has almost disappeared, but not quite. Interesting, last week while waiting at a very long traffic light, I felt the vibration in the steering wheel, come and go at about 10 sec. intervals. This was while idling (less than 1000 rpm). So far, the origin remains a mystery.

This is a known problem with Lexus 570 users, but because it seems to involve all the 570's, Lexus states its normal.

Yep a well known vibration for sure!

The good thing is while Lexus will not admit there is a problem, it does happen less and less with the more miles you put on your 570. Mine did it a good bit when I first got it but after 12k, I can not say I have felt it in the last 2k.
