Default Lexus NX300h EV Problems

Hi, sometimes while I'm driving on the freeway the car tries to go into EV mode which causes the car to shake a little. If I press the gas at the same time when it tries to go into EV mode it shakes a lot and feels as if I hit a huge pothole or something. Does anyone else have this problem?

Sorry to hear that, this doesn't sound good ..
It has never happened to me. When mine goes in to and out of ev mode you don't feel anything ..
​​​​​​​Visit your dealer..

Agreed. Virtually unnoticeable when it cycles back and forth. It shouldn't be trying to cycle into EV mode at freeway speeds anyway.

Something is wrong and you want the dealer involved in this. Please keep us posted.

Yes, see your dealer. I've had my 300h for two years and never had that problem.

^^^+1 to all the above comments. Owned a few Lexus hybrids and that has never happened nor have I ever see this posted by owners in the forums. Best to get it checked out. Good luck!
