I have a 500h and it has major turbo lag and the transmission shifts rough. The throttle response is so bad that I thought I was going to get hit when I made a right turn from a stop. I’m going to take the car in to the dealer next week to get it checked out. It used to be a fun car to drive but not any more. Also the AC doesn’t seem to be very cold.
@lsft9 сағат бұрын
Is the AC set to Eco AC? Press on the climate and turn off the ECO AC mode. Should have it checked as the 500h is not that slow of a vehicle.

I went to the IIHS channel and found the overall evaluation of "Acceptable" for the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander in the 40 mph driver-side small overlap front crash test back in November 2023. Why was Toyota authorized to release the Grand Highlander, and now it requires a recall?
@lsftКүн бұрын
You have to keep in mind that the recall is for situations where the driver window is open where the side airbag could cause an issue. The test could be with the window closed and that is why it's acceptable. It's better for Toyota to recall than not recall a safety issue that was found.

Thank you for doing this in depth comparison! Really appreciate it after my request. I knew in the back of my mind that the NX450h+ is the better choice but the Signia is the new and shiny car on the block. Financially, the NX450h+ makes better sense. I should have a car from either my Lexus or Toyota dealer before the end of 2024 and am leaning towards the NX450h+. TY

I think you are right. Mid-cycle refresh should happen for 2026 or 2027 model year. There should be some revisions and hopefully improve some shortcomings of the current generation. I'm still waiting for the RAV4 refresh to happen first - but it still pending and is expected around late this year. I guess it depends on your needs and how long you plan to own the car. The current generation is a great car, but if you are those who look for resell value and want the latest and greatest, then you might need to wait 1-2 years before the new refresh is released. I don't expect the NX refresh would be before the RAV4 redesign.

European perspective : we had many problems with the Lexus Link app at the start of the NX 2nd generation but, since the latest software update and the upgrade to the Lexus Link+ app in 2023, the situaiton has changed completely on our side. The stability has become litterally 100%. The last hiccup we had here, was with the "2050" software update that added 2 new settings in "Info & Security", requiring a formal validation for the data transfer to the Toyota servers and the use of some voice commands, which could not be synchronized properly to the Lexus account for many drivers. Personally, I was impacted by this issue and could solve it myself empirically by "forcing" my account re-synchronization, but I know many drivers who used the "System reset" function to solve it. This seems to be somehow close to your own experience... Although the "remote connect" functionalities are different in North America and in Europe (+ Asia/Australia), I have the feeling that the software architecture in the vehicles and in the Toyota servers still lacks of robustness globally and that the weaknesses we are experiencing on both sides of the Pond are of the same nature. On my side, I'm still lobbying Lexus to acknowledge the shortcomings of their system and propose an extension of their connected services, following the multiple problems I had during 2022 and 2023 that prevented me from using them normally. As an early adopter, I feel I should not be considered as a Guinea Pig !

Hope you are able to get what you want with the app. It feels like the server side had issues and a reset shouldn't be needed. Other folks seem to work without the reset.

@@lsft On my side, with the "privacy settings" issue that we had in Europe, I personally could fix the issue without a full system reset and instead, I could "force" a re-synchronization with my Lexus account by trying many times various sequences of disconnection/reconnection from/to my account via the Lexus Link+ app, while I was inside the car or away, with the car started-up of off. After trying empirically multiple combinations, with various orders for each step, it finally worked and everything went back into order...
