Replying to: maddmike (Dec 18, 2006 6:59 am) I have had the same problem (VSC engaging on a clear dry road) several times with my 2003 LX470. Extremely frightening. Left it at the dealer for three days, and they could find nothing wrong. Can you provide any more information as to the steps you are pursuing with Lexus? Thanks. |

We need to put a hitch on our Lexus... Can't seem to find anything online about towing capacity. We just need to tow an open trailer with sides... for moving household items. Wanted to do it with our 1997 Toyota 4-door RAV4... 4-wheel drive. But since the towing capacity is only 1500 lbs,and it appears that most of the little open utility trailers weight about 900 lbs. already, we will hve to put the hitch on the Lexus. Any info? Advice? BTW, bought this car with 25,000 miles. Now, 104,000 and never any serious repairs except the Nakamichi [sp?] sound system... cd player. We have a great after-market warranty. Just renewed it for 2 years or 24,000 miles more. So even the CD repairs only cost us $50. I think the new warranty is now $100 deductible, but still a good deal. Love my lexus!!! thanks for your help! Angie

What is the general consensus on high mileage ES300's? I'm looking at a 99 with 140K mile (and an attractive price...private sale). I have yet to drive the vehicle but the photos look like it's in very good condition. I also have to run the VIN but they say it's clean. I intend to use the vehicle as a commuter vehicle and will only put on approx 8k miles a year (suburban & highway miles). I need the vehicle to last at least 3 years. I've read a few of the posts and the problems run similar to other makes/model (though I'm not sure of the frequency). |

I have a 03 ES300. I discovered my carpet and underlayment completely soaked. Took the car to a Lexus dealer. They found brown colored paper in the drainage tube. Insinuated that someone must have put it there. I dot believe this to be true. The underlayment stared to mold and smell. I asked them to warranty just the underlayment pads, they said no. The car is out of warranty. But I believe that the clog came from the manufacturing process and finally worked it's way down.

Hi. I have a '98 ES300 with 152K on odometer. When I move the gear selector from park to reverse I get a sharp jerk and hear a clunk. This only happens when the engine is cold (in the morning or the evening). I took the car to my mechanic who had a transmission shop look at the car. The tranny guy said that there were no codes stored in the computer and felt that the engine mounts were the cause; my guy said that the rear mount was really shot. I was quoted a price of $700 to replace all of the mounts (parts from lexus and my mechanic's labor). A friend of mine sugggested that I wait because he has a v6 Toyota Camry (95), 200k and he said that he has never had a problem with the mounts. Does this sound credible? I have 152K on the car and never replaced the mounts, they seem fine to me. Will it cause any damage if I choose not to replace them? Any ideas would be appreciated.
