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 |

Replying to: amf1932 (Mar 16, 2008 8:54 pm) 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.

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 |

I have some concerns so please let me know if anyone is noticing the same issues as I do so that I can address these issues with Lexus. What I noticed with my car (Ruby Red 2007 ES 350) but did not on the loaner (Moon Shell Mica 2008 ES 350) is: Cosmetic: Rear door metal trim is pulling away (upwards) where it meets the front door trim. Rear bumper is pulling away (near tail light where it also meets the fender). The front dash is pulling away on bottom left side where it meets the center stack Engine: Little rough noise while idle and in motion, the loaner was very smooth. Transmission: Flares to 1800RPM when started in the morning but the loaner flared to 1200RPM only. Thanks |

I just had to replace a rim on my ES 350. A dealer charged me $599 just for the part. After that my insurance said that they overcharged me and that according to them a list price is $495. I tried to get price for a brand new rim from two other dealerships in the area and one of them quoted price $517.90 and the other $432.50. So now I know that the dealer just ripped me off. Can anybody give me advice on what can I do?
