  1. Glad to hear it is a 100% fix. Can I ask you a strange question. Since mine had the fix I've noticed sometimes that the "EV" light flickers on and off like it can't decided where our not to go into EV mode. Not sure if it is a problem I should go back to the dealer for. Also it enters EV mode at speeds upto 70mph if going downhill which it never did before. It's intermittent now though so hard to shore the dealer.

    I have seen it flicker sometimes too. But i saw that before the mod aswell. I think it is normal.

  2. Had mine done last week. For me it is a complete fix! It makes the ride smother in all speeds not only the dredded 1300rpm spot. I am not able to force the problem either. I had a tad of vibration running motorway speeds around 130-140km/h but that has dissapeared too. Thought i had unbalanced wheels but that was not the case then. It also make the idle rpm lower and they have deleted the old software fix that made the engine try to skip 1300-1400 rpm all the time. You are now able to easily choose to stay on 1400 again.

    It feels som much better and more luxurious with a smooth drivetrain !

  3. Hi all,

    I've had my IS300h Luxury for 2 months/3000km now. The car had the vibrations described in this thread from day 1, although veery little from the start. It has gotten gradually worse, and last Friday I went to my dealer about the issue.

    The mechanic that checked the car was able to reproduce the vibrations, and told me he it was a known issue on the GS. The problem there was the bushings holding the rear differential. Lexus had produced a new variant of these bushings, that removed the vibrations.

    Now, since the GS450h and the IS300h uses the same rear diff and the same bushings to hold it, he was going to replace the bushings on my car with the upgraded ones for the GS.

    The car will be going in Thursday - it is a two day job. I'm crossing my fingers!
