Lexus ES300 owners have reported 6 problems related to steering (under the steering category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Takata recall the back suspension on the car feels like is you have no control she you hit a bump or need to maneuver there's so much body roll that it feels very unsafe and I think it's also damaging the breaks because they wear out fast and not at the same rate. There is also is rust around the wheel well and even a whole in the trunk you can see through to the ground. The brakes and rear suspension definitely is a huge safety concern. I was just driving when I heard a noise and it's just been getting worse. I haul kids in there and if I could afford I'd just do I just absolutely can't. Thanks, mark.

Car pulls very hard to left on highway. Dealer has tried to correct this by alignments, new tires and switching tires. If I am on the highway in the left lane, I will never have to turn left! even on a left hand curve, I have to turn right to keep from going off of the left side of the highway. ***note the 3 loaner Es300's did the same thing. Lexus customer service has told me that this is the way the car is designed! I have gotten the car to track somewhat better by switching my tires, but now I can't rotate the tires! frustrated!.
Hesitation upon acceleration. I notice the vehicle lacks the ability to pick up speed from a slow down or dead stop. I feel this in 1st-3rd gears when accelerating from a deceleration speed or stop. This is very serious and is cause for safety concerns. I just bought this vehicle and I have another problem with a clicking, whining noise when turning into a parking spot or making slow turns.
