Up to you of course. However, every single first model vehicle has bugs that need to be addressed and Toyota is not immune to this syndrome. They have already addressed some of the issues we had on the 24s with the 25s. I trust Toyota to make it right as they usually do. With the 3.4L Tundra (US made) engines, everyone basically gets a brand new engine - that is a good move they did to save face... I love my GX550 Premium + and do not regret my purchase whatsoever! Best of Luck!
Transmission Issue - Dealer Claims Nothing Can Be Done
- Thread starter whereisthelye
- Start date
I live in FL and had my 2025 GX Premium+ picked up by the dealer valet at my home to service my transmission. Part of their service is to come to you and leave a loaner if you don't or can't come to them. They did do the reset and I was told that Lexus is aware of the issue and working on a permanent solution as the reset is only a temporary fix. The service manager indicated it would be in the form of a recall and all done at Lexus expense. I'm in the - "I love my GX camp" and have no regrets about my purchase.
I haven't had any of the other issues, (hood flutter, strange noise, worse than stated gas mileage). Some people expect a perfect car without any problems ever. For those folks, just watch the rest of us enjoy (buy a Range Rover to bash).

Toyota/Lexus seems to be quite slow in getting software updates out though. And this transmission has been around for a while, plus it's not a complicated system as in a hybrid. Really no excuses for not addressing it more expediently.
I had the same experience about a month ago with my premium plus. I brought my gx to dealership and they relearn/reset the transmission. (not sure if it is the same as the reset TCM). Since then the engine ride is smooth and no more jerking during slow speed breaking.
I am experiencing two issues (assuming they are related):
1) Hesitation when accelerating from a slow roll, assuming its a shift delay from 2nd to first gear
2) Intermittent mild jerk when slowing down from 2nd to first

Yes they are related. Need to have the trans reset performed until Lexus issues a permanent fix. What model do you have? Seems the OT has been mentioned the most. I have a Premium +.
I used to have this problem from 2k-3k, I went into settings and my trailer brakes were on in the system, so toggled that off. Then turned on tow/haul waited 5 seconds, and changed it back. I kept upshifting for a 14mi trip on the highway, (was trying to cruise with the paddle shifters to see if I could raise mpg), but then noticed since then something just feels different, changed and it feels so smooth now. shrugs, might be worth a shot guys.
Dealership performed a "hard reset" on the TCU and it seems to have corrected the issue for now. I was experiencing similar issue to what others here have reported. Will see how long it lasts.
