I’ve had a 2009 LC200 VX since new. 12 months ago it started not changing up to 5th/6th gear intermittently, either in drive or manual. When it’s in this mood the cruise control doesn’t work either, plus it doesn’t like changing down gears when in manual mode- like going downhill. There is no pattern to when it will do this. It might be good for weeks then the problem will return, but usually not for long. I’ve had the car to numerous mechanics, auto electricians, transmission specialists and 3 Toyota dealers. Of course nobody has heard of this problem before and have no answers. After seeing an earlier post here about changing the accelerator assembly, I think that might be worth a try. At $330 for the part, it could be the cheapest fix I’ve had so far? Gary
