Rx 450 2016 strange noise

Hello guys,

My Lexus rx450h on 41000 km. Start making a bad noise while transmiting from petrol engine to electric engine than it comes strange sound 1-2 seconds like something is trembling.

Anybody hear this or know what can be ?

The car is in warranty and i am planing to get it to the retailer in the next few days.

I would get it to service at your first opportunity. My 450 does not make this noise but only has 9500 miles on it.

Naskos,

I am having similar symptoms with our 2016 with about 41,000 miles. I notice that on initial startup in the morning that the car seems to stumble between combustion and electric mode. It is similar to having an idle that is too low or bad fuel as in a non-hybrid car. There is also an intermittent "clacking" noise during this brief period.
I also experience some light stumbling during normal driving, but this seems to clear up when the car gets to warmer operating mode.

Did you get any resolution on this? I would be interested to hear your ongoing experience with this issue.

thanks
