goofy3oo Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 The problem Im having is that now and then while moving down hill or slowing down, my car's rpm needle (the right odometer) will stay at 2.5-3 (around 60-70mph). I complained to my dealer who said they found nothing wrong with my car. A few months later I brought it up again and they said oh it's a common problem experiencing by IS owners!! And Lexus currently has no solution for this b/c it's a safety measure to keep the car speed in check! Anyone has the same problem and a solution for this? tyvm in advance.

LEX-SV Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Never noticed that. Probably not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The last rebel Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I had a similar issue in my Tacoma and brought it to the dealer and they reflashed the CPM and it helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqa4life Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I am not sure if this is called "problem". I drove my 2006 IS350 from LA to Seattle last weekend and I experienced the same. RPM stayed HIGH when doing downhill. This might be the down hill assistance feature. My 2010 toyota Highlander does this the last time we drove from seattle to Vegas. Even though the RPM raised, but the speed did not raise. I think this is good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
