My 2025 Lexus 700h f-sport bounces or wobbles when in econ or comfort. The suspension feels like bad shocks or springs. The bouncing is so bad on highway turns that the driver must slow down over bumps to prevent the SUV from bouncing off the road. At night one can easly see the wobble or bouncing of the SUV lights. I have made 3 trips to my Lexus dealer, jim hudson Lexus in columbia, SC. The last visit my truck was evaluated by a field technical specialist, mr matt hennessey. Matt stated this is the way they come to the dealership. His solution was for me not to drive in econ or comfort or sell the vehicle.
When automatic height control system check warning light comes on, both Lx570 traction control system and abs behave strangely. This happened three time in one day. When the vehicle was in standing in an uphill to join the road, during acceleration, traction control system light starts to splash, vehicle would not move and hesitates. One has to drive slowly to avoid wheels spinning and making noise. When exiting from one highway and trying to join another highway in an uphill exit, when the brake is applied gently to control my speed, vehicle came to abrupt stop surprising myself and the 4 vehicles behind so much so that behind vehicles has to swerve hitting my car. Never seen this problem before.
Reference vehicle has only 71000 miles, yet according to Lexus dealer the rust has covered so much that vehicle is unrepairable compared to the car value. The rust has spread to frame that caused it to be to safety issue for the occupants. The suspension and associated parts have rusted, and fluids are leaking. Lexus hid the rust information during regular maintenance at the dealership only to claim that warranties are not honored for rust specially when extended warranty is just over.
The frame and underbody components have an excessive about rust on them. There appears to be a defect in the corrosion prevention coating that should have been applied. The rust is significant enough to be a major safety issue and is unacceptable for a vehicle that is 10 years old.
Suspension will not adjust and the off light keeps blinking.
