Front Brake Squeal
Some 2019-2022 ES 300h and ES 350 vehicles exhibit a brake squeal or squeak from the front brakes during light braking. The noise is more noticeable in the morning or in humid conditions and is not related to brake pad wear levels.
Lexus issued a TSB to apply anti-squeal shim grease and install updated front brake shims. In some cases, the front brake pad set is replaced with an updated formulation. The repair is performed under warranty.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty; $150 - $300 if out of warrantyReduced Engine Power (ES 250 - A25A Engine)
Some 2021-2022 ES 250 vehicles with the A25A-FKS engine may exhibit reduced engine power and/or a MIL ON condition with throttle body-related DTCs. The vehicle enters a limp mode with significantly reduced acceleration capability.
Lexus issued a TSB to inspect and replace the electronic throttle body and update the engine ECU software. The throttle body replacement and reprogramming is covered under the powertrain warranty.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty; $400 - $800 if out of warrantyPanoramic View Monitor Rearview Camera Freeze
Vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system may experience the rearview camera freezing or displaying a blank screen when shifted into reverse. A software error causes the display to malfunction intermittently.
Lexus issued a recall to update the parking assist ECU software. Dealers reflash the PVM system. If the camera hardware is faulty, the camera module is replaced. Check your VIN for applicable recalls.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallHUD Reflection on Windshield
The Head-Up Display projection area on the dashboard creates a visible white bar reflection on the windshield at certain times of day and angles of sunlight, even when the HUD is turned off. The reflection is distracting and cannot be eliminated through HUD settings.
Neither the dealer nor Lexus currently offers an official fix. Some owners have had limited success with anti-reflective dashboard covers placed over the HUD projection area. Polarized sunglasses can also reduce the visible reflection.
Est. Cost: $20 - $60 for aftermarket dashboard coverHybrid Warning Lamp in Freezing Temperatures
Some 2018-2024 Lexus hybrid vehicles, including the ES 300h, may display a hybrid system warning lamp when started in below-freezing temperatures (below 32 degrees F / 0 degrees C). The warning may clear after the vehicle warms up.
Lexus issued a TSB explaining that the warning is triggered by cold-temperature effects on the hybrid battery voltage. A software update to the Hybrid Battery ECU adjusts the cold-start voltage thresholds. If the warning persists above freezing, the hybrid battery should be inspected.
Est. Cost: $0 for software update under warranty
