200t acceleration hesitation to 80mph
Hello
Just bought a 2017 200T and while I am accelerating through all gears to 80+mph, I feel a hesitation or studdering while doing so. Feels like a bad plug or tune like the old days.
I brought back to the dealer, they put the PC on it and no error codes came up. Then they tested another similar model and that car did the same thing. They said must be typical in that engine! I'm an old gear head and wanted something fun but luxurious so this is Very disappointing to me.
Any input from out there in Lexus land please.
Thanks Jim

A faulty vacuum regulator is one of the most common issues with this motor. Hesitation in acceleration is one of the symptoms.
