My ES350 has 88k miles and I am replacing the transmission. Really! I thought I purchased a well built car. Please help me understand why I am replacing a transmission-in a Lexus?

Hi Effe,
I am sorry to hear that your transmission failed at 88k miles. Your dealership needs to explain to you why the transmission failed so early. Warranty coverage is expired and I am not sure what else can be done.
I am just hoping mine last much longer. Good luck.

Have you had any problems with ES350 since the transmission has been replaced? I am considering purchasing a certified 2007 es350. A few of my coworkers own this vehicle and havent had any problems, they love it. I understand there was a problem with the first production of the es350.

I purchased new 2011 ES350 and just last week I completed 20,000 miles. Last week I noticed my transmission slipping gradually and car jerked very hard and immediately the “Check Engine” light displayed. Next day I took my car to Dealer – Lexus of Carlsbad (San Diego County) and I was told that transmission needed to be replaced.
I am very disappointed that company like Lexus who is known for their “Quality and Reliability” is selling “Lemon” cars to consumer or if they have a transmission problem either they or dealership are not communicating it to us.
Please reply if anyone is having similar problems with ES350. I don't know if there is any kind of Class Action Lawsuit being/been filed against Toyota, but I would definitely want to be a part of it.
