Lexus ES Transport Mode Issue

Greetings. Your predicament sounds rather peculiar. I, too, am a Lexus ES owner. I did encounter a somewhat comparable anomaly involving aberrant system behavior shortly after my acquisition, though the symptoms were not precisely analogous to those you describe. Have you considered consulting the vehicle settings menu, or perhaps performing a comprehensive diagnostic check via the onboard computer?

Vehicle settings, huh? I've poked around in there, but maybe I missed something. And a diagnostic check – is that something I can do myself, or am I looking at a trip to the shop?

While some rudimentary diagnostic capabilities are accessible, a comprehensive analysis often necessitates specialized equipment and expertise. Given the severity of the reported malfunctions, I would strongly advocate seeking the counsel of a certified Lexus technician. It is conceivable that a software recalibration is required to rectify the anomaly.

Roger that. Sounds like a trip to the dealer is in order. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate the input. Turns out the car wasn't properly deactivated during the pre-delivery inspection. They hooked it up to their diagnostic tool and reset it. No cost. Problem solved!
