I'm kinda thinking the same thing. Strange how a lot of 2017 ones have this issue (within a year of their original purchase date) but then 2018 and 2019 cars don't. As far as I know, there are no part number differences between 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 rear and front shocks. Only 2015-2016 had different shock part numbers (of course, since no AVS)

It's less of a design flaw and more of a program flaw. If my theory proves to be correct, it would mean the computer is changing the dampening WAY too quick under specific situations. The shock itself is no different from other shocks except for adjustable valving. The shock size itself, rod length etc are all the same, but a computer controls the dampening (as you already know)

Got the issue fixed covered under warranty. No questions asked and quick replacement. Lexus service is the best.

it feels about the same or maybe slightly stiffer. It could because the blown shock is not affecting the ride quality anymore. I did check from eco to sport+ and I can feel a stiffer ride as I increase the mode.

- In SPORT S+ mode, damping force is increased for better drivability and stability.

I googled it. Apparently, LS500 has a comfort mode.
