Dear All,

I recently got a 2015 LX 570 brand new. It now has 112 miles. It was snowing heavily yesterday so I decided to try the L4 switch.

However, I forget to change the gear to N when I tried to switched back from L4 to H4, it was in D mode; The car still switched back to H4 but with a clunking noise. It bothered me a lot because I don't want to damage a new car like this. I won't do that in the future but do you guys think the car is seriously damaged today? It shows no sign of damage though.

Thanks
Jason

 

Not too much you can do to hurt it and I am sure you LX has suffered no hard. Lexus makes it so if you DO forget it will not harm itself.

Enjoy, only got 3500 miles on my 2015 LX.

 

Thank you for the note. It is good to hear that

I heard that the LX is a pretty solid card so hopefully it is OK!

Enjoy your LX too! But quite frankly, I still love my 06 ls430 better

 

The 430 is a fine automobile - you'll get used to the feel of the 570 - it is very different..

 

Congratulations! I echo what Greg said. It should be fine. Unlike the previous LX470 and GX470, which had a shift lever, it is all electronic on the LX570, and I would expect the system to "not shift" if it were truly harming itself.

If you do want to play it safe, however, I would be happy to take the 2015 for observation and send you our babied 2010 with 42k miles

Enjoy your new LX!

 

Wow only 42k?

 

you'll be fine, the car wont let you do anything to hurt it.

 

Indeed! And my 600 has less than 12k

 

True! I miss my 430 so much. It has 90k but much more quite and smooth. The LX570 is LOUD.

 

Hope it will be fine. It is loud though. but that might because i am used to the LS430, one of the most quite car. I guess the shifting noise is the same as when you shift from D to P without a fully stop, it is the same kind of noise.

Give me your 600 and I ll pay you dinner

 

and how do you know I trade in my 430?

 

That's about right my 2011 has 31k. Moving to Maui, doubt I will drive over 5k per year on the island. So in another 10 years I will have around 80k miles . So 14 years old with 80k miles, or 18 years old with 100k miles I have 130k miles on my 2005 LX470, should keep it and sell the LX570 but the 570 is so nice!!!

You have to open the thumbnail to make the picture right side up. I don't get it ??

 

LX470 is more badass
