#87 of 116 Re: CD player problem on my '07 ES 350 [jimbres] by iqbaldhillon2 Apr 25, 2007 (6:46 pm)
Replying to: jimbres (Apr 25, 2007 5:57 pm) Only 3 are burned while the rest are CD's I bought, I am not sure if the CD's are burned at a fast speed, I'll have to get back to you on that, but the CD's are from Office Depot and they are CD-R type I bought them about 3 years ago. If I did use my burner at a fast speed, how might I slow it down? You feedback is appricated! Thank you!

Now try playing them in your car while driving on smooth roads. Are they skipping? If so, your player is probably defective. Go back to your dealer & politely demand that he address this issue.

#91 of 116 Lexus ES 350 not what I expected by acat1234 Jun 07, 2007 (8:33 am)
I have driven an ES 350 for 12,000 miles and I now convinced that I gave far too much credit for the "expert" opinions posted by the various reviewing agencies. This is my first (and last)Lexus. I have always driven GM products and thought I would geive this car, with the automotive press's glowing reports, a try. I can only say that my 2001 Olds Aurora (I know - not made any more) was a far superior car in acceleration, ride, handling, etc. There were some reliability issues which were annoying. However, the Lexus, at a far greater price, has just as many defects, for instance:   Throttle Lag - the worst I have ever experienced in any car (but the dealer says this is normal)   Rain sensitive wipers - Those put on GM cars are far superior. The Lexus ones continue to wipe and smear the windshield in thw winter. Dealer "has done all he can do - that is just the way they are).   Cold start up - The engine reminds me of the old VW diesel Jettas it is so loud. Again, "That's just the way it is".   Engine Noise - The engine is noisier that the Aurora.   The car does have a smooth ride and is attractively styled. However, next car will be a Cadillac.

Replying to: alien2 (Aug 06, 2006 3:50 pm) Just pull up on the passenger blades and they both will pop up. Its in the manual on how to place them down, by pushing down on the passenger blade. Replies to this message: jaspalb (Jul 30, 2007 7:42 pm) tdoh (Aug 13, 2007 4:08 pm)

Replying to: acat1234 (Jun 07, 2007 8:33 am) I don't know about the 350, but on my 330 there is a rotary switch with three settings for sensitivity of the rain-sensing wiper on the wiper control stalk.
#94 of 116 Auto interior/exterior air by hammer4995 Jul 30, 2007 (11:30 am)
On all my previous lexus (4) the auto interior/exterior air control retains its memory after the engine is turned off. Mine is the nav system model. On all other ES350 models without the nav, the car retains the setting in the non-volatile memory. Dealer comment - too bad, thats the way it was built. Have since discovered that the 08 has this problem corrected. Service manager comment - so what, your car was built with different features. Would appreciate replies from owners with the same problem, thanks

Replying to: joede (Jun 30, 2007 12:55 pm) What do you mean by pullup the passenger blade? Could you please write the page number in the manual. Thanks. Replies to this message: tdoh (Aug 13, 2007 4:08 pm)

Replying to: jaspalb (Jul 30, 2007 7:42 pm) With a hand on the passenger blade, slide the blade/arm towards the top of the windshield--you're essentially performing the sweeping motion of the wiper by hand. You don't need to slide it upward too far--just enough so that the base of the arm clears the upper edge of the hood, so that the arm/blade assembly doesn't clank against the hood (don't want to chip the paint, you know) when you bend it outwards, which I'll soon describe. Anyways, you may need to exert a little bit of effort--it'll seem like the arm won't budge at all when you attempt to slide it upward...that's where you just need to nudge it a bit harder...not to worry--it won't break on you...not unless you're one of those folks who don't know your own strength--LOL! Once you slide it upward to where it clears the hood edge, then you can just lift the arm outward at the pivot point.
