#113 of 116 No complaints... by dubldoc Apr 15, 2008 (8:06 pm)
I now have 24K on my ES 350 and have only good things to say...solid gas milage, solid performance (especially after upsize/upgrade of tires). Havent replaced anything else other than oil and filters. No rattles or cosmetic/fit problems, no wear and tear issues. The Blue Tooth has worked fine other than the occaisional "Pardon?" when it might not recognize a word. While I keep seeing posts about tranny problems, no one I know has had this problem, other than an occaisional awkward shift. I do recommend the backup camera due to visibility concerns for people with limited eyesight or neck limitations. Best car I've owned.

Last moth for the first time I was driving on a stretch of interstate and the cd player just quit! I could not get it to come on. Radio either. went thru all 6 cd's. nothing! I pulled over about 50 miles later and nothing. Turned it on the next morning and just like nothing ever happened. I has happed twic since then including today. all my cd are originals not burned or rewrited. Calling the dealer tomorrow as I am convinced there is a defect. It had only 16,000 at first occurrance so concerned.
#115 of 116 Temperature settings by ohhawk Dec 03, 2008 (7:45 am)
Have a 2007 ES350 that has been problem free except for trying to regulate temperature in the car. I live in a 4 season climate so the weather can change within a day at times. Seems like it takes forever to "dial in" to get a comfortable temperature in the car. I can have it set, go in a store, come out and the temp needs to be readjusted to a different setting. This happens very regularly. I'm always playing with the temp control to readjust.   Any ideas? Replies to this message: djdj (Dec 06, 2008 2:32 pm)

Replying to: ohhawk (Dec 03, 2008 7:45 am) I know what you mean. I live in Ohio and temperatures vary greatly, especially when you have sunny days and cold temperatures.   I bought a 2008 Lexus ES350 three weeks ago. The inside seems to run warm, then be okay and then seems to blow cold air.   I think the cold air is actually temperature transference through the windows because the van is running at too low a speed to make a difference.   Here is what I do: Let the "Auto" setting warm the car up. Then when it gets comfortable and the fan goes to the lowest setting, I go in and manually set the van speed higher (about two positions on the Climate screen). This increased airflow seems to keep the temperature more constant.   I can't complain too much since my Audi is fine when it is very warm or very cold outside, but if it is in the middle then I have to manually fiddle with that car too. My wife's Acura MDX (single zone temp control) seems to do the job much better.
