In March 2025, pulling out from parking lot into traffic and accelerated but vehicle slowly moved forward even though accelerator pedal was more than halfway down. Luckily, the oncoming vehicle had time to slow down and avoid hitting my vehicle. This is the same problem that Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum owners have been experiencing. This is a safety hazard especially when your accelerating into traffic and the vehicle basically craws forward.

The vehicle looses power and hesitates to accelerate from a stop start. This happens when The HV Battery State of Charge (SOC) is below 30%. •The vehicle is in catalyst warm-up mode (cold start). The Motor Generator (MG) is in charge mode. As a result of this scenario I have almost been T boned 3 times while attempting a left turn from my home across a dual carriage lane. And again nearly rear ended because of the lack of power or hesitation. To me this is a big safety concern that Lexus do not have a credible fix for.
