I just purchased my 2013 gs350 f sport. When I drive over uneven road my gs350 rocks too much. It is very noticeable. It is very smooth on even surfaces. I test drove on the highway, so I did not notice this. When I put is S+ it makes the ride too harsh so I don't want to keep in S+ mode.

Any thoughts on getting this corrected?

I would say that your car is simply following the uneven road surface with its firm suspension, which will 'naturally' give you a twitchy ride. Your GS 350's firm suspension is providing you a better feel of the uneven road surface compared to the mushy soft cushioned ride that a normal (non-performance sport) sedan provides. And, [now] maybe you can imagine the teeth-jarring, kidney-busting ride that a true race car's suspension would provide over an uneven road surface!

I understand what you are saying, but this is more than "feel the road" . Its almost like it wobbles. Meaning once the uneven surface passes, it wobbles before before it is still again. My neighbor said he thinks it could be the dampers.

Did you buy the car from a Lexus dealer? If so, was it CPO?

The car may have had a modified suspension, and not put back to OE stock condition.

I did buy from dealer. What does CPO mean.

Certified Pre Owned. CPO cars are only sold from Lexus dealerships, however not all used used Lexus cars are sold as CPO from Lexus dealerships. There are certain age/mileage conditions that must be met. It's not much more than a fancy extended warranty.

If your car was 'CPO' then you should certainly know about it...

How many miles does the car have?

It is CPO from the lexus dealership. I wasnt thinking when you said CPO I though you were talking about something with the suspension. 40K miles.

Well, I assume your neighbor is likely 'on up in age' because the word 'dampers' is an old term that means shock absorbers or struts. It sounds like neither you or your neighbor probably knows much about cars. That said, I'd take the car back to your Lexus dealer and complain...and see what they say about your complaint, which could very likely be that your car is performing normally as designed and expected.
