Interior Hardware Problems

The most obvious problem inside the cabin of this Toyota minivan is the cracking dashboard on the side where the front passenger is seated. A major problem here is with the seats where complaints say that the seatbelts unlatch on their own, and the seat warmer burns the passenger or seat material. The infotainment volume knob and faulty interior lights are other problems to look out for during inspections.

Steering Problems




Many of these buttons and knobs could go faulty easily

Brake Failure

Many reports of premature wearing capture that the braking system of the Toyota Sienna 2005 model fails intermittently. The vehicle stability control (VSC) also interferes while the driver attempts a turn or curve without the brakes. Some experts say that the minivan is slightly heavy for the type of brakes it has, and customers will need to have their brakes checked and replaced every 3 months.

Suspension Problems




This front suspension strut is what makes the noise in the Toyota Sienna 2005 front suspension

Among the complaints related to Toyota Sienna 2005 problems is the noise from the front suspension struts. The customer has to replace the suspension struts when this happens, and these should last for about 5 years.

Electrical Problems

The 2010 models announced sometime towards the end of 2009 were offered in four Trim Levels with the main differences being the engine type and the drive train utilized in building the vehicle. For instance, the base trim came with a 2.7 Liter Inline 4 cylinder engine with a Front Wheel drive train. Other trims included the 2.7 Liter Inline 4 cylinder engine with an All-Wheel drive train, the 3.5 Liter V6 engine with a Front-Wheel Drive train and finally the 3.5 Liter V6 engine with an All-Wheel Drive train.

The 2010 was not so much different from the 2009 model except for a change in the floor Mat across the trims, which now sported carpet floor mats for both front and back seats compared to the rubber floor mat in the previous year models. Virtually every other stuff remained the same, the engine power remained the same pumping out 182 hp and 182 lb-ft for the 2.7 Liter I4 engines and 268 hp and 246 lb-ft for the 3.5 Liter V6 engine.

Below are the few common problems and cons typically associated with this brand-model;



TOYOTA HIGHLANDER COMMON PROBLEMS


STEERING COLUMN FAILURE



This happens when you start hearing a noise from a turning steering wheel which could make the steering column seized immediately and cause the vehicle to veer to the left while being operated at an average mph which can cause the vehicle to crash into any available barrier. The steering wheel will be difficult to turn and the power steering warning indicator will illuminate. When this occurs, it is time to change the steering rack.


RATTLING NOISE AT HIGH SPEED



When driving at about 70mph you will notice rattling noise around the vehicle and this is caused by broken plastic parts around the intake manifold. This can be stopped by removing the broken plastics from the intake manifold.


CAR VIBRATES AT HIGH SPEED



This is caused by over-tightened handbrake and the vibration occur when driving at about 60-70mph. To fix this, make sure the handbrake is adjusted.


MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR FAILURE



This happens when you are experiencing rough idling or poor performance in the engine. This can be solved by cleaning the MAF sensor.

RUST AROUND THE SUNROOF



It is a common problem for open roof cars, there is always rust around the edges of metal sunroofs and this can be solved by cleaning around the roof or replacing the roof metal is the rust is really bad.


PASSENGER AIRBAG PROPELLANT FAILURE



This happens when a propellant rapidly degrades over time due to unstable temperatures and excessive humidity when the passenger airbag deploys causing it to it’ll rupture and allowing metal fragments to fly through. The only solution is to replace the passenger airbag inflator.


CRACKED ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)



This happens when the circuit board inside the ECM cracks. This leads to harsh transmission shifting, engine stalling, or engine failing to start. This should be replaced as soon as possible.

COMMON PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH LEXUS ES 350 MODELS



Purchasing a sought-after, versatile and rugged midsize vehicle without knowing the problems associated with the vehicle is not wise and super risky.

Despite the popularity of Lexus ES 350 for its good looks, beautiful interior, good fuel consumption, affordable price and abundance tech features, there are still a few problems associated with this brand-model for all the years produced with 2007 and 2009 model-years having the most overall complaint rates for melting dashboard and 2008 as the worst model-year produced because of its high repair cost and more problems at low mileage.

Below are a few common problems associated with this super cool, luxury brand-model-year vehicles;

ANNOYING INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM


No matter how you slice it, the ES’s infotainment system is its Achilles heel. An 8.0-inch screen at the top of the dashboard comes standard, while a 12.3-inch screen with an in-dash navigation system is optional. While the big screen’s bright and clear graphics are noteworthy, those merits are unable to overcome the infotainment system’s ergonomic flaws. Selecting on-screen functions is both confusing and difficult to do while driving, as the driver must first look at the screen to confirm the cursor’s initial location before using the touchpad to highlight the desired on-screen button. A 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster screen affords access to certain infotainment features, however, its capabilities, as well as the information it displays, are rather limited.


LIMITED VERSATILITY



Although the ES 350’s trunk measures in at 16.7 cubic feet (0.6 cubes more than its corporate cousin (the Toyota Avalon), the lack of a folding rear seatback limits the luxury sedan’s outright versatility. This makes it not suitable for hauling longer items. At least there’s a small pass-through behind the folding rear-seat armrest.


OPTION ADD UP



How much is Lexus es 350 in nigeria? Despite starting at a reasonable price, the ES 350’s price quickly inflates with options such as the Ultra Luxury package, a blind-spot monitor and additional safety kit (rear-cross-traffic alert, parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with navigation and a premium audio system, a set of triple-beam LED headlights, 18-inch wheels and tires and so on depending on what you want to add.


MASSIVE OIL LEAKAGE AND LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE


a large leak covers the ground, engine, and undercarriage once the oil line ruptures while driving making the engine oil pressure warnings illuminate.



CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P0505: The check engine light may illuminate with a fault code P0505 stored.



SOFTWARE UPGRADE: For Navigation and Heater Control Displays with the navigation and amp; heater and control display, along with Bluetooth compatibility may be corrected by upgrading the appropriate software.



There are also individual problems found in each year-model and below are some of the demerits of some years’ model;



2017 and 2018 Lexus ES 350


Overpowering spindle grille


Remote Touch interface


Leather upholstery not standard


Unremarkable hybrid gas mileage estimates


2016 Lexus ES 350


Overpowering spindle grille


Remote Touch interface


Leather upholstery not standard

2015 Lexus ES 350


Remote Touch interface


Leather upholstery not standard

2014 Lexus ES 350


Touch-screen replaced by Remote Touch Interface


Leather upholstery not standard

2013 Lexus ES 350


Touch-screen replaced by Remote Touch Interface

Leather upholstery optional


Note that the appeal of the Lexus ES 350 vehicles extends beyond their looks. The luxury sedan possesses enough positive attributes to make it worth considering over competing products.
