Hi Ugi, great video. I have a question for you. I bought my 2021 ES300H with 18k, now it has 32k. I noticed recently that it was idling rough, hesitating, and shaking in traffic (intermittently). However, no check engine light. I took it to Lexus and they said it could possibly be the injectors, but no fault codes. They want me to rebook, and keep the car for a couple of days. I am still under the warranty,as I have serviced the car with them, but really disappointed that after 30k my Lexus is having these issues. The whole point of me buying the Lexus over it's German rival was reliability, and less headaches. I saw your video and I have the same issue. Do you know if this a common issue, and will they be needed to be replaced again? Cheers!
Hi, I start thinking that injectors are week point, and could be common issue with LEXUS ES300H. I had the same question from another person as well. I was disappointed as well. It was idling rough for sometime, started slowly and was getting worse, until engine management light pop in. I remember when I was driving up to steep hill and using sport mode I've got engine management light on dash. Since I sorted the issue I'm using injector cleaner every service I do. I'm glad to hear that you still under warranty, I had to pay because I decided to service my self. Ugi
@UgiBristol Hi Ugi, Thanks for such a quick reply. It's definitely disappointing, and expensive if you don't have the warranty. I think because you've done the servicing yourself, you're probably about break even or close. They put the additive in, but because it's Christmas time, I've decided not to work, so not sure if it will maka any difference now.The only thing that surprises me is, the engine management light hasn't come on. I recorded the engine noise when I heard it, and it's identical to yours. So it has to be the injectors. As you said, it looks like a weak point or we just got unlucky. I also have only ever put Shell petrol into it as well, and now wonder if it's worth it? I like the fact you put in the additive after every service. I messaged you previously regarding loss of mpg. It was definitely due to the cold weather, but I also think that I've lost a couple of mpg due to this issue. Definitely interesting to see if you have the same issue again. Fingers crossed it was a one off, and you can drive it for 500k! Happy Christmas/Holidays to you and your family.
