Hi owners of Lurching Lexii, I'm joining this thread as an ex "Jerking Corolla" owner, from New Zealand. My Corolla is a Japanese RunX (with the 180bhp motor, and 4 speed auto) so I'm not totally out of place! The transmission is a U240E fly-by-wire thingy. I've noted similar problems to those Lurching symptoms turning up on Tacomas and Camry's ... and there appears to be a correlation between the Lurch and fly-by-wire. Is this true of the Lexus? In my case I can feel the solenoid snatching the gear from 3rd/2nd down to 1st at around 5-10km. And it has hurt my neck on one occasion ( I wonder whether I can "do" Toyota via Health and Safety? ). The car also snatches from 4th to 3rd when going down a hill and the brake is lightly touched. So cutting a very long story short - I've solved 90% of the "lurching" problem myself with what looks like an accutely simple fix! Before I go into print and make an absolute ***** of myself by presenting a great solution to another problem, can someone sum up this thread for me ... Type of cars involved, general symptoms and what fixes have been successful. I'm wading through the thread but it will take me some time. Note: I suppose the ECU will figure out how to get around my fix, and reintroduce the problem, but resetting the $#%&^ should fix that if required!
