Parking brake kits fell apart causing the back tires to lock. luckily the car was barely moving at the time.
Driver's side heated seat stopped working.
Keyless entry occasionally doesn't respond.
I really like this car. It doesn't look anywhere near the 12 years old it is.
My only major complaints are the front seats are very uncomfortable for long trips and the trunk is pretty small considering the size of the car.
I particularly like the 2-tone red that was offered on these cars, which is what mine is. The black leather interior is holding up very well, just the steering wheels is starting to show wear signs.
Dealer servicing is a joke. I will never take it there again
Original writter here: the car has now surpassed 300,000kms or 180-185,000miles (not exactly sure of the calculation) and is running very strong. Can run and beat the newer cars on the road without problem and has the style to make people ask if I bought a new car. I Love it! It's loaded except for the cell phone option and the heated seat problem listed above was just a faulty switch, replaced with a used one and has worked great since. Recently had our first child while I was away on business... Got me home travelling at 155kmh on a 250kms trip (I made it for the delivery too! with no tickets!) Just sailed smoothly! Couldn't be happier; once we save a little money Lexus has found a customer for it's new ES series!
