Lexus ES Change Vehicle

"USB port went dead"

"Software is out of date. The problem has existed for a few years but has become more of an issue in the last 8 months"

"GPS quite confusing to me. changes/fixes seem to drift away"

"It would not recognize voice commands most of the time. They replaced it under warranty and it works better now, but not great"

"Total waste of money. Sometimes if I make a wrong turn, the system has taken me more than 5 miles out of the way to make a "U-turn" while ignoring numerous opportunities to do so. Also: adjustments to the system are locked-out while in motion, igno"

"So hard to use and understand!"

"GPS is not good. Lexus needs to get this right! Fault reading by the GPS, not accurate. Hard to put in data, not user friendly!"

"Useless!"

"Useless"

"poor software, does not update itself, useless as compared to Google Maps"

"really didn't pair well so I do not use it"

"Radio lost tuning capability. It was replaced without any problem by my dealer at no cost"

"Radio quit at time of passenger air bad replacement"

"never received software update."

"Voice command control does not work; does not get the command right. Not a good system."

"Heard an unusual noise; took the car to the Lexus dealer. They diagnosed and fixed the problem the same day."

"rattling (bad bushings) at <100,000 not acceptable for a Lexus"

"I used the category shocks & struts because I am unsure of the exact problem. The car will have jolts to it on certain types of rough roads that you can feel into the steering wheel (remember that this steering wheel is not actually connected to the wheels/suspension) I took it to the Lexus dealer last fall and they said everything is fine, except that I know it isn't. I notice that it appears to be slightly worse this spring. To make matters worse, the technician at the Lexus dealer over pressurized my tires by 6 psi, with the rationale that winter is coming (in 3 months). This is after I already complained about the ride, and he just made it worse. I bled the tires back to the proper pressure, then monitored them as the weather got colder a few months later."

"The car sways badly when rounding corners at higher speeds. Very poor handling"

"Crack in rack and pinion system and had to be replaced. I was commuting between MD and NC monthly while building a new house and it wasn't safe to continue driving it per the dealer. After it was replaced, I now hear weird thumping all the time. This was my third Lexus ES300 and I have NEVER had to do any major maintenance, so while not thrilled about this, still a loyal Lexus customer."

"rack and pinion seal (on right) needed to be replaced due to leakage. A kit was already available to replace said parts. Does this mean a recurring issue? Told unusual for this to occur on this vehicle"

"It was leaking and needed to be replaced."

"On routine service, found power steering joint broken, though no symptoms from driving."

"The left front axle was found to loose. It was determined that the front wheel bearing was worn. The axle and wheel bearing where replaced"

"alignment problem"

"I had noise coming from what I thought was coming from the front. After 4 months of investigation (off and on) at the dealers, it was determined that the noise was coming from the rear wheel bearings. The bearings where replaced. The shaking in the front end was caused by a wheel unbalance"

"NOISE COMING FROM WHEEL AREA. DEALER REPLACED DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING 3 TIMES. THEY FINALLY DETERMINED THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR IN THE PAST YEAR, BUT HAPPENED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO."

"noise in cabin from tires/wheels. Although we asked the mechanic, they have not been able to isolate and fix"

"Rear window break lights replaced under warranty."

"MPG display stopped working- operating manuel for radio/cd/etc. shows different radio/cd dealer could not provide a copy of correct manuel. Electric windows would not operate in hot wheather and would operate by itself, unable to close, or open."

"A bulb cost $200 to be replaced."

"headlight would come on and go off intermmittently and it was difficult to determine if was the light or light control module. This occurred for sometime. Replacement required purchasing both and removal of front bumper. Bumper removal was 200.00"

"Air bags was a recall. Seat heating was not working. Alternator was replaced in 2018"

"Sometimes the door lock buttons don't work unless I open and close a door"

"Not remote engine starter, but keyless starter. Car would require multiple presses of the start button to fire up the engine."

"The USB Port stop working. Was repaired and stopped again"

"sensor went bad"

"would display check engine light without my ability to know what it is about, have to go dealer and pay for them to let me know what is wrong."
