RPM Flare? by praz

Today, I noticed that when the engine is running and the vehicle parked, if you turn the steering wheel, RPM will flare atleast 200 (mine did from 800 to 1000). Is this normal?

Very normal. When you turn your wheel, an extra load is put onto the power steering pump, and the engine computer senses this and raises your engine RPM slightly.

Hello,
     You seem to know a lot about the tire system. My tire pressure light has been on all winter. Do you know how to reset it? I followed the directions on page 299 of the manual but it still is on. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you check your spare? That may be flat. The tire sensor system also has a sensor on the spare tire. My service guy says it's actually inside the tire. I found this out the hard way.

I had the same problem - tire light coming on in winter. After noting that pressure seemed good, I reset it using instructions in the manual. I don't recall what they were, but you have to follow them precisely. I had to make a couple of tries.

Radar (PCS) failure by seaweed

I have one of the first ES350's bought in May of 2006. It is a top of the line UL and has been in the shop more than any other car I have owned.
 
I just got back from a trip from Florida to Charleston and had my PCS fail for the third time. In case you don't know, the PCS is the pre-collision radar system. When it fails you lose the cruise control. I had to drive I95 for almost 1000 miles without cruise control.
 
I have had it in the shop for wind noise, navigation failure and transmission firmware. Most of these required multiple visits to find a fix.
 
It is back to the shop tomorrow and I have told them to keep the car until they figure out how to make a permanent repair.
 
Beware the desire for new gadgets. Those with the stock ES350 only contend with transmission and wind noise problems.

Can someone tell me if there is a way to defeat the TPMS on the ES350.
Thanks

Thanks.
Can someone please let me know if this makes sense. I had my car in for 10,000 mile service and after I picked up the car found that the tires were not rotated. The dealer said that they might not have rotated them because the tires in the front need to have more thread than the rear as it is a FWD. I always thought they do clockwise tire rotation. Thanks in advance.

Recommend body shop in College Sta/Houston Area by jano2

Unfortunately on the way to W. TX we hit a deer and now I want to know if anyone knows of a good body shop to work on my car In College Station or Houston, TX. I really will need a car so has anyone dealt with a body shop that has loaners while they do repair work? I know one of the Lexus dealer in Houston has a body shop (it may be independently owned and the dealership does referrals to them), but I do not know how good their work is.
 
My car only has about 12,000 miles on it and this just makes me sick! Any info that anyone has would be appreciated....
 
Thanks
