Default What went wrong with your car?

So the question is, what went wrong with your 7ES, at what mileage and what is total mileage?

Out of curiosity, what was the problem with the sunroof? Regular or panoramic?

47K miles on mine. Fuel pump recall, new brakes and tires and I believe that's it other than oil changes and air/cabin filters. Oh yeah those darn wiper blades I had to replace

It's the F Sport standard "Tilt and Slide Moonroof." A leak developed at the seal toward the rear of the panel.

I only have 8900 miles on my 2019 ES UL. The only major complaint I had, along with most other members of the forum, is the dash material that marks easily and can't be removed. It is the worst and Lexus didn't feel that it should be replaced. Maybe in gen 8... No major repairs except the fuel pump recall...

Wow! your initial battery lasted less than 2 1/2 years...

Probably not driven often enough.

Received my 2019 ES300h UL on May 2019. Daily drives it to work (even during the pandemic since I work in an essential sector) and currently sitting at almost 90 000KM (56K miles).
I usually do an oil change before winter and a Service #3 after Winter during the winter tires change.
Absolutely nothing so far (I am lucky I guess).

There's only 2 things:
1) Changed the wiper blades myself 3 times that I bought on amazon since it started to smear/squeak (I live in Montreal, so Winter and road salts are probably the cause)
2) The entire audio system cut off when blasting the audio to the max when driving (I usually like to listen to classical music on full blast in my car). Even when you scroll across the icons menu, you couldn't hear the ''ding'' anymore. After restarting the car, the whole audio system was back to normal. It happened about 4 times in the span of 3 years (I pretty much listen to music every time I drive to work) and only happen when you crank up the volume above 55. I just learned that you can restart the center console while driving by pressing and holding the volume button, but I haven't had the chance to try it since the audio haven't cut off since. I have the ML audio system.

I used leather conditioner on the dash where the marks were and they disappeared. It's been couple of months now and it's still not visible

That might have been before the software update to address battery drain due to DCM.

I just had Lexus test the battery on my 6 year old RX and it is still good. Mind you the RX doesn't have a DCM to drain the battery as much as the other phantom loads.

2020 ES 300h. 66,000 km (41k miles). All regular maintenance. Only issue was squeak from rear seat back that the dealer addressed during first week of ownership.

Nothing else replaced yet.

Cheapo wiper blades perform so poorly even when new that they really aren't worth it. I've had good results with Bosch Icon and excellent, durable performance from PIAA Super Silicone.
