If Lexus advertises the capability, then it doesn't matter why it doesn't work. Lexus is responsible.
Sine they advertise Siri capability with the 2014 models, you would think the iPhone would perform all the functions Lexus advertises, but apparently this isn't the case.
Other manufacturers are advertising similar phone integration features, and many are having problems. This doesn't let Lexus off the hook. It means they are have questionable marketing strategies.
Lexus is a high end maker. I would think they would be embarrassed to advertise features that work so poorly as the phone SMS and Email.

I think you are wrong about Lexus marketing promises. Different vehicles and different smart phones are checked by Lexus for compatibility of individual features. They can't accommodate any and all possible configurations. You need to look up your phone features for your vehicle features. Copy and paste follows:

2014 ES text reading from HTC Droid
Ever since we've had the 2014 ES 350, my HTC One droid phone has intermittently communicated with the ES to read incoming text messages to me. Emails are not an issue, every single one comes in and gives the option to hear it or ignore it.
Only every so often do I get a text alert and have it read to me through the nav system, etc. Texts arrive on the phone all day long, but do not get pushed to the car system. Has anyone else experienced this? I spoke with the "tech guy" at our local dealership.....he was totally stumped. I don't think he even knew it was capable of pushing texts to the vehicle.
Appreciate any info/suggestions!
Thanks much.
