Seems to me that I should be able to trust the data at least. I am going to make a trip to the dealer later this week. I feel like Lexus should address the issue. In addition to these forums, I spoke to a Master tech/shop foreman at one of my Lexus stores (I call on dealers) who said he was investigating the same concern for a couple other CT's
And the answer is going to be .... "It is within design specs and it is considered normal, therefore there is no way to remediate your concern".
