Could your rough feel be down to the 22” rim low profile tire setup on your Lux +? My wife’s Macan gives me that sense going from any of our other cars which have more sidewall.

OT & Lux + are the only trims with AVS and so far more OT trims are affected than the others. Reason I was thinking it has to be AVS vs other susp. components. We should know more if “sroberts” dealer pulls through with a solution. So far his dealer is the first I know of that’s trouble shot it...

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like “sroberts” dealer is diving in on a possible solution. Hopefully we can see his repair ticket also and that begins to shed light.

All great ideas. Let us know which way you decide to go and appreciate the leg work you’re doing sorting this out.

I like that it’s open enough to “fill the gap” in a few strategic locations. That’s all it’s gonna take to shut that flutter down.

Agreed.

If you live in the southwest I think the whites come back into play. Much easier to keep clean through the winter months.

Earth and Atomic really surprised me in person. The metallic is super “fine”. Nori and Caviar are “coarser” and not as appealing in my book.

Agreed but shocking nonetheless. At least a dealer out there seems to have found a solution and others can now benefit. Key will be seeing/sharing the repair ticket so hopefully that happens.

Nope, both Earth and Atomic are metallics. I wanted to love Incognito but after seeing all the colors in person it quickly fell to the bottom of my list.

#1 Atomic Silver #2 Earth Distance third is everything else with Incognito at the bottom. Anything “opaque” non metallic will not age well.

Sounds like the parts being replaced are: steering knuckle/upper & lower control arm/brake caliper/brake rotor. This would be absolutely insane if it turns out to be true! Well over $1k in defective parts.

I’d be more inclined to try the rubber plug or wedge idea in a few places and road test to prove the theory.

Looks like a bad design followed by poor quality. Doubtful a new one of the same makeup will fair better. Great example of first model year issues that will require updating & improving. Thanks for posting it.

Sorry you’re struggling with the issue. I think you’re on the right track with tire/wheel first then moving onto the next thing.

You planning to do mud flaps?

I was at a dealer in Mission Viejo CA when an OT arrived from Port Hold due to hood scratch repair caused by protective material. Looked fine and couldn’t find where it was polished out.

I would refer to this phase as “helping to trouble shoot” based on knowledge and experience over “guessing”. One of the benefits of forums.

Well, I do have 25 yrs of suspension building experience and there’s only a few areas where “harshness & vibration” point. With tires & wheels / balancing being tried what’s left? Were you thinking A/C unit or ??

Yes, Based on whats being reported here. Hard to know for certain though until someone with the issue is able to correctly diagnose and fix it. Being an “adaptive type shock” this issue could be upstream Either in the “mapping/programing” also.

Pretty sure someone nailed down the exact date T/L realized & fixed the machining debris issue in this thread. You’ll have to read through to find it…

You’re the perfect candidate to help sort this out. Good luck on the road trip. Based on your comment and others it seems like the compression stroke is locking up intermittently. Mine arrives in Sept and if by chance I’m feeling harshness in the stroke those shocks are going in the garbage...

Yes both come with KDSS but this vibration issue is related to AVS.

Sounds like your dealer is taking the “scorched earth” approach to problem solving🤣. At least you’ll be done with the squealing…

I suppose tires are a possible cause but sure seems like “the easy way out” remedy vs finding the root cause. I’d have to re-read the thread to confirm but I thought tires/wheels had been swapped with no improvement?

This has to be AVS related then. I’ve read the Lexus AVS is more on the “gimmicky” side but there should still be a felt difference.

Has anyone with the issue tried switching between “Comfort” and “Sport” modes while driving the same stretch of road? I’d be curious to know it there’s a noticeable difference from one extreme setting to the other.

Not a bad idea. Would be nice if someone’s dealer experiencing this problem would take this on vs having to diy it.

Gotta be something related to AVS. Keep us posted on your progress at the dealer.

Worth a shot…
