300/600/700 Issues, problems and solutions (5 Viewers)

Figured I’d start a LX600/700 thread for us with issues with the new platform. I guess I’ll go first.

2023 LX600, My rear hatch is starting to experience intermittent issues with closing. I hit the hatch button, beeps once like it’s going to close then I get the 2 beeps and that’s it, no movement. I’m guessing it’s the pinch sensor, I’ll continue to monitor and when I get it looked at, I’ll report back.

2022-24 LX600. Clunk into first gear during acceleration during a rolling stop, but also sometimes during highway driving and downshifting (6th-5th gear).

Solution: no solution, innate design flaw.

Partial solutions:
-You can alter your driving style with gentle pressure on the gas while the computer figures it out, then accelerate after the down shift.
-larger tires make the clunk less noticeable.

Extra comments:
I suspect the design anticipated the hybrid system, as the clunk is completely gone with the Lx700h, and the electric motor provides torque during engine start up from start/stop and also during highway passing maneuvers.
I would still be driving my 2022 with the above partial solutions. It was not a killer problem for me.
