So I received my RX Luxury after 2.5 months
The rattling is still there and they say, the car is ok. So they try to fix it for 2.5 months and when they realize they are unable to do so, they claim, the car is ok. Well they offered me 2 years additional warranty as a 'proof' that the car is ok, so they can afford to do that. But the bad sound is still there.
Do you consider this to be ok for premium brand? I have never owned other brand, please let me know what is normal in this situation.

So this is normal? I just purchased a 450H and it had that occasional sputter.

Not seeing this on my 2017 either, very quiet. If this is only when cold then switching to EV mode, you could just put it into sports mode when cold and the engine will stay on until you switch back to standard shift mode. Sucks you have to do this, but it is a work around that would eliminate the noise.
