Hesitation problem at various speeds (TSB info post #159)
I took my 17 F-Sport to the dealer to apply the TSB, but they said that my car does not need one and has the latest software, even though I got it in November of 16. I did ask them for the print out of TSB, but they only gave me first 3 out of 5 pages. Attached.
BTW, I still have hesitation in the transmission. The service tech that was working with me has same RX and issues with transmission, but did not know about TSB.

We took delivery of a 2016 RX350 about a year ago. It has most all of the options. We have had 3 other Lexus vehicles and have been extremely satisfied with them. But this one has drivability issues! Is anyone else having drivability issues with the 2016 RX350? Ours hesitates/stumbles/shutters while accelerating below 40 mph. We understand it is a known problem which Lexus has been unable to fix to date! We have had it into the shop on at least four occasions. They recently re-programed the system, which has not corrected the problem.
Our 2016 RX350 has significant hesitation/stumbling/surging issues during acceleration. Lexus has just completed a service bulletin which has not corrected the issues. In addition, when using adoptive cruise control the transmission sometimes does not upshift completely unless cruise is disconnected and reconnected. We are very disappointed.

Louay1978, This is great news for us. I have an appointment made for about 2 weeks from now. Hopefully that will address everything. Did you have this TSB applied and have you noticed an improvement?
They did a full battery reset but it did not correct the problem so we may have an additional problem. In fact, the problem is maybe worse than before - and that is after 900 miles of driving to re-learn the driver preferences...
Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to say that the TSB (Canadian version) is a success. I just got my 2016 F-Sport done. I took the car for A 30 km drive around town in traffic a little bit of HWY and it does seem a lot more responsive, no confusion about gears diffently sharper gear shifts.

Its intereseting how some of us felt no difference and others cant believe the difference.
I wish I knew what version I had and what was installed. Starting to think they used multiple
versions throughout the 2016/17 build.
Even after the TSB it still lugs when going from 4th to 5th gear.
I just shift manually, its the only way I can tolerate the tranmission.
