Default How many NOT having KDSS problems?

I was just wondering how many people are not having problems with their KDSS system. I have read about the lean and creaks that some say the system causes. How many happy, problem free KDSS owners are there out there? I know with things like this the folks with problems can become much more vocal than those without. Just thought this would be interesting to see.

Do there seem to be less KDSS problems on the 2005 or 2006 models?

My 04 has KDSS and it has been flawless and I've had it for more than 18 months. I would definitely recommend it for any new GX buyer.

I had a lot of complaints about my first GX which did not have KDSS. See my review: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...highlight=kdss

Cool KDSS ... one word AWESOME

I have a 2004 GX, and was one of the first models to have KDSS. I have about 32K on my truck now. I do drive a very curvy mountain road EVERY day and appreciate this option. I have no major issues with the KDSS. I occasionally get an odd "shock absorber" sticking sensation at a stop. But, it is rather rare and has not been an issue for me. It is so infrequent that I have not been able to reproduce it for the Dealer. I do NOT get the lean that some people have referred to. If there is a lean, it is so small and isignificant, as to not be notable. The benefits FAR outway this drawback. The suspension transforms the ride of this truck from the typical SUV to a more sedan like control. Anyone who does not get this option, truly shortchanges themselves. I have NO regrets

No problems in my KDSS on 2005 GX 470; of course I've only had it a week. Initial observation is that everything is working as it should. (What a concept).

Default 2005 GX 65,000 miles

I purchased my 2005 GX brand new with KDSS and have never had an issue with it. I have 65,000 miles on it. It does lean and has leaned since the beginning. They had it at the shop for a week when I first got it, but couldn't figure out what the cause was and told me it was within spec.
