Lexus ES 2013+ :: 2014 ES300h Check Engine Light Came On - Camshaft Timing?
I have a 2014 es300h with 7400 miles. Recently the check engine light came on and the dealer diagnosed an oil control valve and something to do with camshaft timing. They also said something about removing valve covers to clean? Is this a potential sludge issue? They kept he car and gave me a loaner. They also opened a TSA with Lexus. My question is this: is this not incredibly unusual to have this issue with a new car? It almost makes me want to get rid of it before something else happens.
View 7 RepliesSubaru - Outback :: 2010 - Brake Warning / Traction Control / Cruise Control / Check Engine Light Came On?
My 2010 Subaru Outback recently surprised the hell out of me by simultaneously turning on the brake warning light, the traction control light, the check engine light and (just for a bonus!) disabled my cruise control while flashing the cruise control light. I pulled over, quickly surmising that all of those systems could not have failed at 70 MPH without instantaneous death to either me or the vehicle. Both apparently still being alive, I tried turning the car on an off to reset the lights. No go. Subaru was not going to miss this chance to get me to the dealership! (who I had avoided to this point!) As I was far away from home and the car being very healthy, it seemed, I decided to drive on. I proceeded to put a couple of hundred more miles on the car before I got back to town.
My car had 39,000 miles on it, 3,000 miles beyond the warranty end. I learned that I have an error code of P0171, "Fuel Trim Malfunction (Air/Fuel too lean)". So I guess I'm wondering about a few things...why would this sensor set off every light on my dashboard and disable my cruise control? Seems a bit overblown for running a bit lean. My gut tells me Subaru has a sensor/software problem they are not owning up to. I'm a big fan of conspiracy theories and this really smells like one...
Second, jeez, I'm only 3K miles over warranty, don't you think they'd cut me some slack. I mean I love my Subaru, or did anyway, until this happened. Now it's just another POS car that breaks for no apparent reason...
Subaru - Legacy :: Check Engine Light Turning On And Cruise Control Light Flashing
Had an issue with "check" engine light turning on and "cruise" control light flashing, intermittently. Dealer said we had dirty oil contaminating some solenoid valves in the system but we had just done an oil change and do so every 3-5K (car has 170K). They recommended switching around the sensors and doing an "oil flush" with another oil change. The warning light problem hasn't recurred, in the past month, since we started giving the gas cap a few extra turns after a fill-up. We're getting ready to buy a new car and don't want to give what might be a serious problem over to the next owner.

I was in cruise control at 50 and pressed and held the increase speed button to pass a car and once i got to 55 and still holding it the check engine light flashed twice a second until i released the increase speed button. Are you not suppose hold that button? Could this be APR related? I also noticed that the speed doesn't matter, it could be at any speed just hold it for like 5 seconds...

I have an '05 I bought 3 years ago and any time it sits outside and gets rained on, the VSC/check engine light comes on when I start it and it doesn't go away for 2-3 days at a time. The frustrating part is that any time this happens, I get the E3 error with the cruise control even though there's not a drop of water to be found anywhere.

I just bought a 2006 Subaru forester with 130K miles. Recently, the check engine light came and at the same time the cruise control started flashing.

Experience a jolting front-to-back vibration when your ES 300h restarts the internal combustion engine when idling off the NiMH battery pack?
This only occurs when I am parked with the parking brake set, idling with accessories running in EV Mode. The heater or A/C setting causes EV Mode to deactivate and the ICE to restart. The issue is that this is an very rough engine restart that causes the car to visibly shudder in its parking spot front-to-back.
ICE restarts during normal driving or leaving a stop light or stop sign are so smooth for me they are almost impossible to notice.
Lexus ES 2013+ :: ES300h Engine Noise On Start / Shacking Then Shut Off
I started my car this morning around 12:00pm (noon) for the first time of the day. It's about 21 degrees outside and very windy. My engine started but it really sounded like a jackhammer and was shaking. It ran for maybe 15 seconds then I shut it off. Started it back up again with my phone ready to record and it happened again.
Went back inside to call roadside assistance to bring it to a service center. Went back out to move it in the street while in neutral. Got it into place and attempted to start it again, it started and drove normally.
I'm still bringing it to Lexus on Monday so my issue can be documented especially since I have it on video.
Please check the video (more for the sound). I'm thinking it was just due to the really cold weather? Everyone kept saying with such confidence that it's the battery. I hardly think this is a battery issue.

I just purchased a 2013 Elantra GT, 3 days ago. I was driving down the highway and my check engine light came on. There is only 480 miles on my car! I know it's not a gas cap. I haven't even put gas in it since I drove it off the lot. Is there a way to check for the code thrown without a scanner? I use to have a jeep liberty and I could click the key over 3 times an the code would pop up.
View 24 RepliesLexus GS 2013+ :: Cruise Control Has Plus / Minus 2 Miles Per Hour Variance From Its Set Speed
I recently purchased a 2014 GS350 (CPO). One thing I've noticed is the cruise control has about plus/minus 2 miles per hour variance from its set speed as the car progresses over road inclines. This happens in Eco, Normal, and Sport modes.
I know +/- 2 mph doesn't sound like much, but I thought that the car would hold its set speed without much variance. Even with a manual transmission, my previous car (2006 Audi A4) kept its set speed better than the GS.
Lexus ES 2013+ :: 2016 - Adding All Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
I brought my new 2016 ES350 last month and I love the car
.
One feature I am missing is all speed DRCC. In my car the cruise disengage at 25mph. I see the feature I am looking for is available in some other higher models and the Lexus technology video's says 'when your call is equipped with all speed DRCC'.
I would like to know if it's possible to add this feature in my 2016 ES by any means? I searched and couldn't find any other useful info.
Lexus GS 2013+ :: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Fails To Slow Down The Vehicle
Symptom: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) fails to slow down the vehicle, (with slowing down or stopped vehicle in front) when DISPlay button on the steering wheel is pressed several times after DRCC is set.
The issue was tested several times with my 2015 GS350 AWD, Canadian model. Maybe it only applies to me, or perhaps it applies to all models with Lexus Dynamic Radar Cruise Control equipped.
Tests: Speed up, turn on main cruise control, and start DRCC when there's no vehicle in front, set to desired cruise speed, set the distance range control to desired range. Now, press the DISPlay button on the handle a few times (5-6, maybe flip through the whole menus, long and short presses. You are all set. Now, drive up to a stopped vehicle or moving vehicle closing to a stop (or slowing down). 4 to 5 out of 10 times, I found out that the DRCC does not sense the vehicle in front, not applying the necessary brake. The screen (where vehicle in front is pictured) shows the vehicle in front at times, other times, The sensing screen is just left blank. Still, the vehicle is on cruise mode and keeps the set speed, however the it acts like a regular cruise control, NOT the dynamic radar one when approaching a slowing down vehicle. At times, pre-collision warning beeps if the vehicle in too close, still no brake. When I says 4 to 5 out of 10 times, the other 5 to 6 out of 10 times, it works beautifully as it is suppsed to. (i.e. slowing the vehicle accordingly)
I tested several times at the 45km/h (30 miles/h), just enough to get the DRCC on, day and night, the vehicle failed to slow down in front of a slowing down vehicle (or a stopped vehicle). At times, the pre-collision warning beeps when the vehicle is at a close distance. I am suspecting that when DISPLAY button is pressed during Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is ON, DRCC fails to work as it should. Not every time, but several times.
I first experienced this at a highway moving at 100km (62 miles) and almost rear ended the vehicle in front if I didn't quicky changed the lane, and warning beep alerted.
I know I shouldn't rely on these technology and I do not, however, if this is a software issue, it should be corrected.
I've been trying to find out when exactly this issue would happen and record on my phone, but I couldn't. I was able to record one occasion on my cell phone, however, it was at night and the vehicle in front was actually a parked vehicle with the rear lights off. (although I think it should've still worked). I am still trying to come up with exact occasion for this issue and get it on video. (Speed/DRCC ON timing/AC/Lights/etc)
Lexus ES 2013+ :: Mileage Come Down To 36-38 Mpg From 39-41 On ES300H
I just had 10,000 mile service performed on my 2014 ES300H. I mentioned to the service manager that my mileage has come down to 36-38 mpg from 39-41 earlier. He advised me not to rely on the car display reading but do it manually for more accuracy. He said that many owners have found that they get better mileage than shown by the display.

My check engine came on last night and stayed on during multiple restarts and also again this morning when I started it. I thought I was ready to bring to the dealer Monday morning but the light "magically" went off while driving today. What could cause this? And finally would there be a code stored that the dealer could check?
