Okay boys and girls, here is the scoop. I again received confirmation that it is indeed the nature of the beast. Either live with it or go back to the ancient technology of car manufacturing.

First off, I would like to apologize to my earlier comment of know-it-all computer system. Yes, the computer system does not only react but initiate direct action, with various factors into consideration, which may result in varying drivability conditions not attuned to all drivers.

However, the "learning" shifts / tranny remains a product of the imagination.

The techie had his diagnotic gadget hooked up, as we drove around, and all results came out positive.

The "surge" or the "push" at low speed is due to the vehicle upshifting in a split second, to a higher level of rpm all because of fuel efficiency and emission considerations.

He further explained that stopping is not compromised since there are safety features in place to respond accordingly, e.g. ABS, brake assist sensors.

I grilled this techie for over an hour, and am satisfied with the reasoning behind his answers.

Finally, he suggested, as all of you should, that I attend their regular "know your Lexus" session scheduled every month, to better understand the mechanical and technological features of their vehicles. Yes, I have forgotten about that! I hope all dealers have this program in place.

So, I hope I have brought closure to this issue, and would like to apologize for sounding the alarm bells. As the old adage goes, better safe than sorry.

One last note, please allow more time and space in stopping your RX.

Cheers!

whatever they said is still BS. the fact that they cant fix it means that they dont care enough to make it go away. Instead they just keep saying "thats the way it is", or some other dumb reason. Other toyota SUVs dont have this problem same with cars from other manufadturers. Just saying thats the way the car is and live with it, really should bother you people more. It does bother me but then again i am returning the car when the lease is up, and was able to write off a good part of the car.
