Have you ever had a non-power door open in a second? LOL Unless your tripping on something nope. The suggestion is that it should open a bit faster, and its not a bad suggestion. If you can control the gate height, one can probably program the speed of opening as well reasonably.

In regards to the noise problem, just like your pulsing deal, I would inform Lexus as well and see if their are any TSBs of such.
Yes maybe Lexus could give us a speed adjust between 1 and 10 with 1 being a arm breaking split second slam and 10 being over 10 minutes.

I`m guessing the bean counters have to worry about people who interpret reasonable as "split second slam" as being fast and slow being "10 minutes"

Oh Lexus how do you do it

Well yes, of course. Like we've shown by testing the lift gate of a 3gen will stop before cutting your arm off, shifting a 3gen in reverse while going 60 mph forward only pulls up the rear camera without destroying the transmission. We're all about testing...that is with appropriate safety warnings. Some of us have spare time on our hands.

Doesn't every tiny detail matter on a 50 thousand dollar car? Okay, maybe not....

Sorry. I guess I am spending too much time running my business so I can afford the near $3000 of fuel for the Luhrs.

One finger touching upper part of emblem works too.

Lexus did not want the truck opening everything you walked past the back of the car so by holding your hand over the emblem for a second or two or even touching the emblem to a second will get it to open.

I waved like hell at my emblem when I first got it but after thinking about it realized my error.

The rear door loudness is not an issue unless you are over sensitive to things like that. If so you will be irritated by many thing in the world!

Default Rear/Hatch Door noisey

seems really loud or is it me....definitely rather louder compared to my 3RX. Sounds like a can opener going at it.

Check out this thread regarding the noise. You are not the only one who has observed that compared to 3RX.

It does not work very well for me when I hold my hand in front of it---however, when I was cleaning the back window and did not want to activate it-- well it went up.
Waste of money ( IMO)

BTW--It is noisier than the 2013 door but I love the feature which allows the door adjustment height. The noise doesn't bother me.

Thank you for your comment. I did exactly what you said and, voila, the door worked perfectly.
When I got the car on Thursday I tried to open the door by placing my hand in front on the emblem-about 3 " away. It did not work so the service guy came out and did the same thing ( about 2" away) and eventually the door went up. I figured that this was a waste until I read your comment as well as others. Again, I am happy to say that it works great! Finger, elbow. nose, whatever as long as it is at the top of the emblem.

I have because I wanted everything, however a total novelty which you can open it 100% of the time and faster by pushing the button under the grip. In the end. Pretty stupid, I guess that's why it was only $200.
