Even the ES I had from 2008 that was made in Canada had rattles and tons of road noise. So my expectations are set and know what I'm getting. So long story short, I wouldnt even bother answering a survey about reliability or put it down as an issue even if I do fill out a survey.
This is incorrect the 5ES was made in Japan and only Japan, not Canada.

ES has never been made in Canada, they started making them in 2013 in Kentucky...but yes the 5ES was all made in Japan.

Yes the 4 ES was made in Kentucky. It was my RX350 that was made in Canada.

The ES has been made in Kentucky since 2016. The RX has been made in Canada since 2004. But they still import a small percentage of them from Japan. My 2007 RX 350 was made in Japan, as was my brothers 2002 Camry.

4ES was not made in Kentucky, 5ES was made in Kentucky. 4ES was made in Japan. I had a 4ES and it was made in Japan.
