Common Problem
Audio System Issues
One of the most frequently mentioned issues with the 2019 Lexus ES is related to the audio system. Many owners have reported that the sound is overly forward-focused and lacks balance, even after adjusting the fader settings. This problem seems prevalent in models without the Mark Levinson (ML) audio system. There is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB L-SB-0020-20) addressing this issue, which might be covered under warranty. Some users have resorted to installing aftermarket systems to improve audio quality.
Creaky Center Console
Another common complaint involves the center console or armrest, which tends to creak during use. This issue persists across multiple model years, including the 2020 and even later models. Some users have suggested using felt tape on contact points as a possible fix. Although these noises can be annoying, many owners still appreciate the car's overall quality and performance.
Loud Tire Noise
Tire noise has been a significant concern for some Lexus ES owners. The Bridgestone EL440 tires, which come standard on some models, are often cited as being particularly loud at higher speeds. Many users recommend switching to Michelin tires, which tend to offer a quieter ride. Additionally, issues like tread feathering and wheel bearing problems can exacerbate noise levels.
Startup Problems
Some owners have experienced startup issues, often attributed to battery problems. Symptoms include the engine failing to turn over and clicking noises from the dashboard. Replacing the battery has resolved the issue for several users. It is also suggested that a software update might prevent future battery drainage issues.
Miscellaneous Issues
While not as widespread, there are other reported issues such as the "heater coolant bypass valve" failure, which can occur just outside the basic warranty period. Some users have also noted concerns about potential "shift to park" issues, although these seem less common in the 2019 model compared to earlier versions. Additionally, alloy wheels have been reported to crack easily, which could be a concern for those driving at highway speeds.
