I recently bought a 2024 RX 450h+ and am enjoying it overall. There are some daily annoyances though. I was wondering if anyone else have these problems and what can be done about it:

1. The bottom of the door sills get dirty and aren't washed in automatic car washes. I primarily used touchless automatics to save time, but the way the door is designed traps dirt underneath where the door meets the car frame. After snow or mud, it gets very dirty and is hard to clean.

2. For some reason, my adaptive cruise control always stays 1 mile below the set threshold for a long time, sometimes forever. It's not debilitating, but my OCD is really irked by it.

3. The trip/mpg information is confusing. In my old Rav4 Prime, the mpg indicator was able to show per trip information (from engine start to stop), but this one doesn't seem to? I know I can find the information on the trip data, but it's inconsistent how it's recorded. Is there a way to switch it to per trip information?

 

The door sill issue is definitely an annoyance. The OEM mud guards do not help that,

I just set the cruise a mph above the speed I want. Actually 2 mph, because the speedo is off too.

There is a trip summary

display that pops up for a moment, below the speedo shortly after shutting off the power. I rarely catch it though, and there seems to be no way to retrieve it. The only other way is from the trip data display and you have to remember to update it every time. It's an annoyance to me as well.

 

the pop up also goes away if a passenger opens their door. I can’t catch it before my wife opens the door…..

 

Also on the subject of adaptive cruise control, it slows down on slightly windy roads. While probably a nice feature for most people, I prefer the speed to be constant in the turns.

 

One can turn the Curve Speed Reduction sensitivity down or turn it off.
Settings / Driver Assist / Driver Support / Reduce Speed

There is also a Deceleration Assist. I only noticed it on twisty canyon roads, where I found it too intrusive there.

I turned both off.

 

Great! I guess a year later I'm still learning about this car

 

Yeah, im constantly learning new things too. Have you watched the deep dive videos? I have them saved and constantly refer back to them.
