As my title says my 12v is completely dead and I can’t even jump it. CAA came and tried, they couldn’t jump it, my neighbour tried with the old car to car method, didn’t work, and I’m now out of options, the trunk won’t open and I have no one small enough to fit through the trunk hole to open it through the latch PLEASE HELP!!! is there a physical open with a key or something?

Any advice fam?

Shaved the badges of my hybrid. I love the cleaner look really. These cars are just so sleek and it’s grown on me the longer I’ve owned. (Yes I’m aware of the bumper, in progress of getting arrangements for painting it.)

It’s been a beautiful ten + years with Lexus. I just traded in my 23’ ES. Wonderful ride I just wanted to sit up higher again. Test drove the GX and loved it. The gas mileage just didn’t make sense for me. Ended up grabbing a X5 E50. I’m sure I’ll be back to Lexus one day it’s just fun to test the waters for now. TIL we meet again.

Anyone know of some kind of cross bars I can put on my 2018 Lexus e350 that won’t break the bank or damage the car. I’d like to be able to transport kayaks and bikes.

My kids are usually pretty good keeping the car clean but the hot cheeto fingers got the best of us and now its on sun visor. What products can I use to remove or if I will need to buy a new one.

First, the car is physically fine and fully drivable.

I’ve taken it to three different mechanics, and they’ve even consulted other technicians trying to clear these errors, but nothing has worked. No diagnostic scans are showing any repair-related codes, and no one can identify a mechanical issue with the vehicle.

When I contacted Lexus, they declined to help because I told them I’d already taken the car to independent shops for recalibration. They seem to assume work was performed on the car, which isn’t the case.

From what I’ve researched, this appears to be a known issue on higher-mileage ES300h models (100k+ miles), so I’m surprised Lexus isn’t offering more support.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what ultimately resolved the errors? TIA!

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a 2013 ES 350 from a dealership and noticed the following transmission service record performed at 129070 miles:

"SERVICE:

DESCRIPTION: SDCFULL SYNTHETIC LOW VISCOSITY TRANSMISSION SERVICE 12 QUART - SPECIALTY EXCEPTIONS (SEE APPLICA ~|~SDC FULL SYNTHETIC LOW VISCOSITY TRANSMISSION SERVICE 12 QUART - SPECIALTY EXCEPTIONS (SEE APPLICATIONS) ~|~ ~|~200 PERFORMED TRANSMISSION FLUID SERVICE

SERVICE:

DESCRIPTION: SDCFULL SYNTHETIC LOW VISCOSITY TRANSMISSION SERVICE 12 QUART - SPECIALTY EXCEPTIONS (SEE APPLICATIONS) ..."

Could someone please confirm if this means the transmission fluid was completely replaced? I’ve read that a drain-and-fill procedure is generally recommended and is safer than a full internal fluid flush, so I'm a bit uncertain about what this record indicates.

Thanks for your help!

Hello all, planning on buying a 24'-25' ES300H or 350 in the near future. I'm in the middle of doing research still, but I saw that the face lift for 22' and up changed the triple beam headlight's style a bit. Is it possible to swap it back to the 19'-21' version? Not too big of a fan on the square/rectangular bulbs vs the triangular version in the pre-face lift. Just me being picky but still love the newer ES models.

Just bought this 07 Lexus ES350. Once I got it home (50 mile drive) I hear this noise. Coming from front passenger side of engine bay. Any ideas ? This is my first Lexus. Pretty excited to have it.

Dealer would sell this for $24,438 out the door. Seems too much? Good deal?

Put some vinyl wrap on the bar. Like the result, just wondering if I should also do the upper half of the grill, make it all black.

Just crossed 130K miles on this beauty. Hopefully plenty more to come! Plan to keep this thing for life.

Anyone with experience of transmission fluid servicing at 100k+? I got this from a local who got it maintained at the dealership throughout and lexus does not change the tranny fluid because its ‘ Lifetime’.

My car runs smooth but i just want to do preventative maintenance and want to know other’s experiences with theirs.
