Rough between 20 - 30 Mph after ATF & Diff fluid change
Folks,
I got these fluids done at the Lexus dealership (425 bucks for ATF, front/ Rear Diff and Brake fluid) at 59k miles - Now I have 63k and my car feels rough between 20 - 30 mph … it was smooth before the fluid changes .. Its annoying me ilke hell
Any advise/ experiences ? Dealer won't confess, they're a bunch of sick ppl (e.g. my right side view mirror vibrates at higher speeds, the dealer won't fix it, we can't replicate the issue coz we don't have a highway closely to test at high speed WTF ???

I would make sure the tranny fluid was topped up correctly, should be at the filler holes level. Does the roughness only happen when the ICE engine is on? What do you mean by rough. The services you had done should not have affected the running of the car, unless they did something wrong....Hope also that they put in WS fluid in the tranny and not Toyota Type IV...Note also the rear differential use the same WS fluid and is filled to the filler hole....

This is unacceptable!! Go back to the dealership and have a nice long talk with the service manager. If your still not satisfied, go to the owner.

So I took it in, they went on two test drives with me, did agree some roughness but after diagnosis "No trouble found" .. yeah no surprise there..
the good news is its fixed, I betcha they topped up the ATF fluid or something
another question, whats the life of those hybrid batteries (under the rear seat) ?
