For completeness, base model here, I can see the tyre pressure as described.

Thanks Habu. Is the jury out on whether it's paid or free? And do we get it automatically or do I have to specifically ask for it.

Theres a lot of info on this thread and a lot is confusing. I have an ES300h from 2019 Seems to be 17ldlmeu I'm would want Andoid Auto. What's the chances?

Good news CHX. My 1 squirt of silicon spray is still working fine.. hope it stays that way!

Also agree with trigger happy and manhole covers! Michelins on mine generally ok for me. Fronts need replacing at 22k.

Meteoro - as posted above, a bit of silicon spray seems to have cured mine - I only needed to do it on one troublesome sensor. I do believe Lexus are aware of the issues and are certainly discussing amongst themselves at dealer level (I saw a group chat on someones phone whilst at the Lexus dealer actually discussing the problems!) while at the same time telling customers that more or less they are the only people experiencing the issue and they have not heard of it before! Agreed about the Lexus premium brand shouldnt have this kind of problem. I have had VWs for years and never once had this issue.

Mines still working perfectly since I sprayed silicone spray on sensor 3 a while back.

Well its rained somewhat on and off though not necessarily a deluge like previous times, but since I sprayed sensor 3 it's all been perfect. Will inform if it goes off again but to me it leaves 2 questions. 1.) If it's only sensorn3 that's a problem surely this actually proves that its faulty and should be replaced under warranty? Rather than "oh well it's working so never mind" because of.. 2.) How long will this spray last? Hard to imagine it will last for the rest of the cars life... so should I carry the spray around with me for the rest of that time? Brings me back to the point of poor customer service... I will give it a bit longer then speak to Lexus Stockport arguing that sensor 3 should be replaced but I bet I can guess what the answer will be!

Well it's been pretty dry since so no way to tell but I can confirm there have been no adverse affects since, it's all working normally as it should. Im sure it wont be long till the next deluge!

I took the plunge and got some silicon spray and cleaned and dried the sensors and sprayed no 3 that seems to be the troublesome one. It seems to function ok right now but it's been dry since. Will keep you informed.

Yesterday and today it was happening again and again. I took it to the local Lexus dealer and showed them the videos. To be fair they immediately acknowledged there is a known problem and confirmed it is also happening on the NX. Bad news is there is NO FIX! He said Lexus are aware and looking into it but he also said replacing my suspect sensor as I suggested would not work as they already tried it. He also suggested silicon spray might help but ultimately left it as waiting and putting up with it until Lexus technical come up with a solution.

Funnily enough when i started the car this morning the sensor issue appeared again. I only had to drive a short distance but park the car in a car park. Because the sensors weren't working I very nearly reversed into another car!

Interesting. Must admit dont know whether to try it or speak to the dealer first. Might wait for CHX to try it!

Interesting Black Cat. I assume the actual function of the sensor is not negatively affected?

Hi CHX No its still not fixed but to be honest I haven't been back to the dealer yet. Mostly in the summer it wasn't a problem. Just happened occasionally and I found out if you stop and "reboot" I.e. turn ignition on and off it often cures it. ( note: This tactic is not appropriate on the motorway!) On November 7th it rained a lot and I was driving back from London and stuck in traffic and it really started again. See attached video. Note again sensor 3 seems to be overreacting and its flicking on and off on it's own. I am completely stationary and so is the car in front. The next day it was completely dry and the same thing happened on my drive. See second video. After a while it stopped. Now can you imagine how annoying and distracting that is if you are on the M1 just outside London driving to Manchester? I will take it and show it to the dealer when I get some time/ it needs a service but to be honest I expect to be fobbed off. I had an IS300h for 4 years and it happened once when a leaf was stuck on the sensor and before that a VW Passat for 4 years that never had the problem. Good luck! 20191107_172816.mp4 20191109_130939.mp4

Update.. the damn car seems to delight in making me look foolish! I just went out for a few minutes and the Sat nav is fine all of a sudden! This is despite it being wrong for at least 2 days and during an 85 mile journey and being left overnight and started earlier today... I'll keep my head down for a bit lol. Oh by the way did anyone find out how to make the sat nav actually default to the 3d setting? I've changed it in the menu but seems to have to change it every time manually.

I would agree Roy. I don't rely on it and don't expect to. The Doctor might have a different opinion though.

The doctor.. generally speaking I agree it does seem to miss some signs every now and again.

Just an update.. it's never happened again. Sensor 3 does seem a tad more sensitive than the others but not had a problem since that time reported here and it's for sure rained a lot since then.

My ES had its 10 k service the other day.. all fine no problems and great service from Lexus Stockport (I did have a whinge about them on here but credit where credit is due they were excellent). On driving home I noticed the road sign symbols on the dash had changed. Where previous on 60 mph A roads it said 60 it now showed the national sped limit sign.. and on motorways instead of 70 it showed the blue and white motorway symbol. Strange I thought.. then I noticed the sat nav was completely out! As in I was on the M56 near Manchester but the sat nav was showing I was driving at 70 straight through some houses in Cradley Heath Birmingham! I got home and restarted the car.. still the same. Left it overnight and tried it again.. still the same. I didn't get chance to call today I will call tomorrow but I guess they have done an update and it buggered up the sat nav. Anyone else experienced this?

Hi all. Its not really rained heavily since so not been too much of a problem. However attached is a photo showing the effect I described - when parking and for example a bush or wall is in front I get this effect. Sensor 3 shows red and the others yellow. This is the one that when it was raining randomly turned completely red like I was touching a brick wall with the front bumper while I was driving down the road! and all the other sensors were unaffected. Must be a faulty sensor in my eyes! Brings me to another point - service at the Lexus dealer. I go to Lexus Stockport - part of RRG group. I took my IS300h there for 4 years previous so I can speak from some experience. Despite Lexus winning awards and being proud of their service I feel the service at Stockport is poor and really I had a better experience at Volkswagen dealers previously. With this latest episode I phoned them and they said they were too busy to look at it this week and maybe they could next week! I offered to send them the photo - not interested. I've had previous with them before and they certainly know my name lets put it that way. My IS had a permanent noise like a bearing was going in the front wheel - everyone (and I mean everyone!) who got in it would ask me if a bearing was going - they flat out told me several times they couldn't hear it and it was normal - implied I was hearing things. So -maybe- next week if they can be bothered - I will take it in and they will investigate - fully expecting to be fobbed off to be honest.

Just an update.. got an unexpected call from head office so couldn't make the appointment with the dealer. It wasn't raining anyway and the sensors weren't playing up. However I noticed today I was parking up with the front end against some bushes and sensor three (i.e. sat in the drivers seat and looking at the display you see 4 sensor zones on the front number 3 counting from left to right) was showing red when the others where yellow. This was the one that showed totally red briefly when it was raining heavily. It also briefly flicked on and off whilst driving yesterday. Pretty sure that sensor three is faulty / over sensitive. However I'm off down south again tomorrow, will try to take it in again towards the end of the week

Yes last about a second or so and yes if I had to guess I would say it's something to do with the brakes.. i.e. seems to happen on brake pedal presses. Definitely not creaking it's a mechanical sound. Never heard it on any other car before!

Does anyone else get an annoying noise from behind the dash when low speed manoevering /braking (e.g. when parking)? How to describe? Like a "UURRRrrrr" noise. Quite loud really and everyone comments on it - wondering if its just my car or not now.

At 4500 miles usage so far. Last week when it started raining heavily I was driving back from London to Manchester. 3/4 of the way home the message "Clean parking sensors - parking assist inoperative" came up - with annoying beeps. I stopped and wiped all the sensors - made no difference. Did it all day Thursday and Friday. When turning the engine off it would re-set and then appear again. Visual inspection - all sensors look ok. Took it through the car wash at the weekend and it seemed to cure it - but it came back again yesterday. This morning set off and within 10 feet the same message appeared then disappeared a couple of minutes later. Anyone else had any issues like this? On my IS300h which I had for 4 years this only happened a handful of times in total and it was always a leaf or some such stuck on the sensor. Anyway I have phoned the Local Lexus dealer and they will look at it tomorrow - will let you all know.
