Hi
My '98 LX70 (about 88,00klms and still smelling like new inside) drives me crazy when set on cruise mode.
The problem is when it come up against a bit of a uphill grade (that in non cruise mode it would do in top gear) it drops down to 2nd
- of course the engine revs increase and the engine is damn near screaming - a quick tap on the brake etc stops that but then I have to reset the cruise mode to on.
I have been to 3 Lexus dealers who have shoved test instruments under the dash and then tell me there is no fault found - WRONG!
I have even discussed this with a Toyota dealer - tho they didn't drive the car, at least they had a 'bright' idea that there may be a problem with the detent cable ??
Has anyone else had this problem as its very unnerving and dangerous to be following someone up an easy grade to all of a sudden have your car screaming up their exhaust pipe within seconds!
All ideas/help appreciated
