#5327 of 5432 Audible low fuel warning? by curt2005 Nov 05, 2006 (10:49 am)
Darn near ran out of gas last night in the ES330. The only low fuel warning was a small yellow light in the gas gauge!    I've probably not been noticing the small light when driving in the daytime.    Is there any way to make the car beep or something? I have been depending on my old car's several-second beep if you start it with low fuel.    The ES 330 is a great car, but given all the electronics in it, that seems tacky. Maybe the previous owner shut some setting off, but I couldn't find anything besides the light mentioned in the manual.    Thanks for any suggestions.
#5328 of 5432 Better trunk light in ES330? by curt2005 Nov 05, 2006 (10:55 am)
Love the ES330 except for the cheesy trunk light.   There is only one light and it is mounted on the left side of the compartment so that it doesn't illuminate the whole trunk. And it is blocked by any cargo on the left side of the trunk.   I can think of two alternatives   * mount a light under the trunk lid, maybe with its own batteries   * mount a light under the trunk lid and wire it to the existing trunk light   Anyone solved this problem?   Thanks
#5329 of 5432 2003 ES: - transmission problems? by tedescm1 Nov 06, 2006 (11:13 am)
I'm considering the purchase of a 2003 ES 300 with 15,000 miles. Did the 2003 have transmission problems?    tx,
#5330 of 5432 stability control/traction control by carteach Nov 25, 2006 (5:12 pm)
I just read on this board that stabiity control and traction control have been optional equipment on the 330. Besides being surprised, I'm wondering whether this was pretty much a standard feature that people bought like leather seats? I live in CT and would definitely want it.   Thanks for sharing any information.

Replying to: carteach (Nov 25, 2006 5:12 pm) I understand that while the stability control was theoretically a separate option on the 330 in the brochure, it was actually only available bundled with the variable suspension option.   If a 330 has variable suspension, you can see the extra three-position switch on the console to the left of the shifter if the dealer website has a photo of the dashboard and console, which most do. (The rocker switch is for the rear window shade, this is a three-position switch.)   When I was looking a few months ago on the dealer websites in CA, only 5-10% of the 330s had the telltale switch on the console next to the shifter.   Use the forum search feature for more info on the features.

Replying to: carteach (Nov 25, 2006 5:12 pm) I have a 2005 ES-330 and it came standard with Traction Control. I do not have variable suspension with the button on the console    2 years and I am 100% happy with this car. I use it mostly for highway trips.

Replying to: carteach (Nov 25, 2006 5:12 pm) Just checked my original window sticker and the VSC was included in an option package which came on all the 330's sold in late 2004 (2005 models) at least in thee NYC area
#5334 of 5432 Engine Warning Light on 2005 ES 330 by elioman Dec 04, 2006 (11:04 am)
My wife's car engine warning light comes on and off with a mind of its own, sometimes a day or two and sometimes not for a few weeks. It runs well with no problems. It has about 22000 miles already and it starting doing it right before the 1st 5000 oil change. The dealer spent 3 hours duringthat oil change looking into it and found nothing.   They finally told me to make cure I close the gas tank cap and releae door properly each time i use it. Well we do that and the light just came on again last night...   Frustrated! NE help greatly appreciated.
#5335 of 5432 Lexus / Toyota Customer Service is the Worst by maddmike Dec 18, 2006 (6:59 am)
I've owned a Lexus for almost 3 years. Their customer service leaves much to be desired. My car has a problem with the Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) where it comes on while I'm driving down the fwy on clear dry road. When the VSC engages the computer takes control of the braking and acceleration. The override button doesn't work. Lexus refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem and refused to repair it even though its under warranty. I'm in the Lemon Law process since it's been at the dealer for the last 3 months, but Lexus hasn't made any attempt to repair this or retain me as a customer.

#5336 of 5432 lexus es300/es330 by sean300 Jan 01, 2007 (9:51 pm)
I own a 1998 es300 with approximately 135000 miles on it. At about 125,000 miles and six months ago my check engine light came on. I had a scan done and my mechanic said that it showed a problem with the charcoal canister and vapor pressure sensor, which correlates with the canister. Any experiences with this problem and will it cause any major problems? The car is still operating well even with the light on.
