I have 2018 Rx450h F sport.

This happens only during this scenario:

After driving, I get the car inside garage, I keep it idle for few minutes and then do reverse to take the car out of garage.

Over the driveway down slope, I completely lose the normal braking feel. It becomes touchy, jumpy and super sensitive. The brake pedals also feel weird, not smooth, but loose at beginning and sudden hard feel towards the end of pressing.

This resolves once I put the car in drive mode. Has anyone experienced this?

It feels very dangerous.

 

On my gas RX this is not the case. In my ES300h the brakes behave similarly when backing up slowly.

Keep in mind this is brake by wire. You pads don't necessarily touch and most braking is done though the motor. At some point the pads get engaged and it is the transition point. Feels jumpy or jerkky to me.

 

It seems very dangerous though. Yes, I do get the jumpy/jerky feeling. Why would Lexus do this? Is there a fix?

 

I find out over sensitive. Of abutting it stops with slight pressure, never should be safe.

I think it's a matter of getting used to the hybrid brake. Much better for me after couple of months of driving it.
