    I would expect the batteries to last 200,000 miles as Toyota batteries often reach far in excess of that. Also I had many Toyota petrols or family members had in the past that did 300000 miles in their sleep. I really believe in Toyota/Lexus quality, i was therefore surprise that people though it was to be expected that the battery would go before 200k miles. I would expect a normal toyota petrol to last at least 300000 miles.

    I will be very disappointed if I do t get at least 200k miles out of the traction battery, I didn't realise they were going much before that

    Hello Just wondering whats the highest mileage IS300h about? Anything over the 300k yet?
  4. Kermitpwee
    Final report, it only happens in Eco, normal and sport mode it never happens. I'm quite happy with that
  5. Kermitpwee
    I have similar short runs and getting 39mpg on longer runs it does improve, nothing to worry about

    Mine does the same f sport on 18 inch wheels

    It's pretty steady conditions here for the next week so that should be good. The jolt happens in Eco mode everyday regardless of weather

    In Normal mode its driving perfectly from cold, I will continue with this for the weekend, next week I will revert to Eco mode and report back with my findings, thanks again.

    It's your front tyres that are causing your problem
  10. Kermitpwee
    Brakes are working perfectly and not sticking. I tried Normal mode this morning and it didn't happen, I will try different modes over the next week and report back

    Yes i also have experienced your problem when pulling out of the drive, i must turn sharply, it is the tyre and nothing to worry about according to my research, it is however very unsettling and it does make me feel like it couldn't be good for my steering. apparently it does no damage, its the tyre blocks been compressed.
  12. Kermitpwee
    I will try that tomorrow morning, thanks
  13. Kermitpwee
    Having read Thackeray's point I now understand your point better, I will start it in Normal mode in future, thanks again

    This would make perfect sense to my problem, hopefully thats it as its a cracking car and I dont want to have to fix a read diff!

    Thanks for getting back to me, just to be clear I am not driving on battery, I have the car in Eco mode not EV, perhaps I misunderstand what happens in Eco mode but I can hear the engine running in Eco mode.
  16. Kermitpwee
    Yes that could be it, thanks for taking the time to post and help me.

    I I always drive in Eco mode, it doesn't happen in Normal or Sport or if I accelerate briskly in Eco. I don't drive in EV mode. Is there any reason I shouldn't drive in Eco from cold?
  18. Kermitpwee
    My jolt is in a straight line and at 30-40mph. I presume yours is at low speed on at least half lock? I also have that and its nothing to worry about, it happens on Mercedes as well. its from the width of the tyre and slight slippage of the tyres thread.

    I believe fleet servicing is every 12500 or 2 years

    Hello I have a 17 Is300h with 70k miles on the clock. When I drive away from cold in 'Eco Mode' and accelerate smoothly after 400- 500 yards there is a sudden jolt from the rear of the car, it feels like windup in the rear axle. It only happens when accelerating smoothly, give it more throttle and it never happens. It only happens on the first start of the day, car is driving otherwise perfectly and has FSH with all the rear diff oil changes done on times. Any ideas what this might be?
