Hi folks,
I'm encountering a performance oddity. I have an 07 RWD IS250, automatic, and I'm noticing that the engine lurches when I accelerate from a stop. It's something I would expect from a manual transmission, but not a luxury automatic.
I can mitigate the issue by being extremely gentle with the gas pedal, but I'm surprised that I should need to. My automatic Corolla didn't have this issue, but my manual Neon did (back in the day). At the time I chalked it up to the Neon being a crappy car.
Is this a common thing? Is it just something with the transmission? Note, I run without the ECT - no "power" and definitely no "snow" mode. The car only has 500 miles on it so I'm still babying it for the "break in" period.
Thanks in advance. :)
Mine does too. It doesn't in pwr mode, though. 4000 miles on it. Hope it's a problem that goes away. Love everything else about the car.

Crutchfield.com is a great source. You can input your car info, and they will tell you what fits, and include step by step instructions with the order.
I didn't do anything to the Lexus, but have used them for other previous cars. Great customer service too.
