I have driven various Lexus's including other 350's as a " loaner" when I took mine in for service, but have noticed no similar problems. My wife was out of commission for for over a year with surgeries, and when she started driving it again, she also complained about the aggressive jerk when pressing the accelerator. It can be controlled but does require attention each time. When a quick start is required, you are going to feel an uncomfortable jerk and very noticeable jerk.

My RX 350 has had a very sensitive accelerator from the start position since new. Lexus looked at it once and said it was normal. I have an earlier RX 300 and it starts very smooth with no head jerk etc. any suggestions on problem or remedy? Thanks.

My rear outside door handle is loose. I have the 100,000 mile extended warranty in effect. Dealer says this is an adjustment and is therefore not covered under a warranty. Is this reasonable?
