Hello!
Long time lurker. I've been eyeing the X for a long time, and am just a stone's throw away from signing and purchasing a LRX.
My main hesitation is the shudder issue, which makes me nervous. As far as I can tell from numerous forums, it's been seen on vehicles as recent as Dec 2019 according to some posters. I'm worried to spend 100k on a car I had hoped to keep for a long time, only to repair the half shafts/etc every 10-15k miles for perpetuity of the vehicle. Some forum polls were showing 1/4 of the X's had this problem.
I'm hoping someone knows the likelihood of it happening to a 2020 version, and if there is an actual permanent fix for it. I had hoped to drive it at the height of my preference, and drive aggressive at times, without having to worry about causing shudder. I feel that placing it on low height all the time, and driving conservatively to prevent a known issue limits its capability. It's like buying a toy, but you can't fully play with all it's features in fear of breaking it, albeit an expensive one.
Anyone that can shed light on this would be immensely appreciated. =)
Sorry for my wall of text.
