It's no race car but if it feels like a MISS, something might be wrong. There's a few threads on related subjects, vibration, hesitation etc. you can search.

 

Make sure you're not in ECO mode as sometimes it happens when this is selected.

 

Thanks for your reply, its not about race.. i am talking about normal driving conditions. i did find another thread discussing similar problem however none them had mentioned 2018 model, it seems this problem was quite common for 2016 model. i have spoken to dealership and will be visiting them soon. lets see what diagnostics come up with.

 

No i checked, i drive in Normal mode. i will still check again. Thanks.

For me, in ECO mode my RXL is bit sluggish and I can feel the viberation when accelerator is pressed hard during start stop traffic, so I avoid using ECO mode. Normal mode is ok and acceleration is somewhat ok and I dont feel any viberations when pressed hard. In Sports mode, its altogether a different vehicle. It revs hard, no viberations and I love the sound engine makes..
Sorry different topic, just got curious, did Lexus work with Yamaha for engine sound?

 

Owner of a 2016.

I have no vibration, and acceleration is driven by software that seems to have some configured gas pedal levels and timing to go in higher acceleration in order to smooth the fuel consumption. So it you press a bit more on the pedal due to a bump or whatever, it will ignore it to keep the gas consumption to the same level.

I got used to those levels of how much to press the pedal to get the response I want. So I find the acceleration OK,
In eco mode, the response time is slower to determine "ok that's really what the driver wants" when pressing more on the pedal. Do not use on the highway to be able to do an safe passing.
In normal mode, that response time is a bit decreased, but the power output per gaz pedal level is the same.

The only mode where all software filters are removed and you get sheer engine response, it is in Sport mode. But you will find the gas gauge to go down much faster too as it will keep the transmission in lower gears to give more torque and power...

 

It happened similar to me when I got mine. I don't like eco mode. Put in sport mode will make you feel better, mpg will not drop into big different compare to eco mode. Got 800 miles on it and seems great so far.

 

Thanks, quick question: I drive in Normal mode still i get ECO green light below BSM and rear traffic alert light, is ECO green display different from ECO mode? i know when its in ECO mode you get big ECO written in center of your speedometer dash.

 

It will still show in normal mode if you are still in the eco zone. The only time it is not showing is in Sport mode.

 

That doesn't sound right unless something changed from my 2017. I have the BSM, RCTA and parking sensor green lights but that's it.

 

Probably as i have all those and then when car is driving smoothly i get that ECO green light.

 

Nothing wrong there.

Go on the Eco screen on you console. You will see that the ECO green light is lit when you are in the green range around the globe.

 

You sure? I get the green ECO light while in Normal Mode if I'm just driving around easily. If I get on it, ECO goes out. No ECO light in Sport Mode.

 

I believe the green ECO light can also be turned off in the dash display options, could be why you don't see it.
