Lexus RX Automatic Transmission Issue

Indeed, the hesitation between gears is noticeable, and the shifts do seem mistimed. Did the transmission enter emergency mode in your case as well?

Yes, it definitely went into emergency mode a couple of times, which was pretty concerning. After a lot of stress, I ended up taking it to a workshop, and they sorted it out. I would suggest doing the same.

I appreciate the advice. I took my Lexus to a reputable workshop, and it turned out that the automatic transmission oil was worn out. The oil replacement, in conjunction with resolving an undervoltage issue, cost approximately 240€. The transmission now operates smoothly.

Hey, I have an RX too, and that sounds familiar! I had similar issues last year. Was your transmission just acting weird, like hesitating between gears or shifting at the wrong times?
