I just picked a brand new TLX a spec. I noticed that the AWD screen is acting weird. For example, if I am taking a slight left curve with slight throttle, the awd drive indicates that it send more power to the rear left wheel. This is very strange, since the system shall send the power to the outside wheel not the inside. This situation doesn't happen for hard curves under hard throttle. In this case the car send more power to the outside wheel as it should.

Does anyone experienced this with the car? I owned 2013 to awd before and that never happened.

 

How fast were you going through the slight curve? Under certain circumstances, especially when you are going at high speed, it is more beneficial to send more power to the inner rear wheel than the outer rear wheel. So it is totally normal unless you are driving really slow.

 

It normally does that around 50 mph with slight acceleration. When I push more, it starts to send power to the outside wheel.

My 2013 TL was always sending power to the outside wheel no matter how I push the gas pedal. It looks like the programing of the AWD in the TLX is different than the TL.

 

The behavior you describe is what I have observed since I got min in Nov 2014. It seems to correlate to the amount of turn in particular, slight turns it pushes torque to inner rear wheel, more turn it shifts torque to outer rear wheel.

 

Thnx for the clarification.
