have been driving big rigs for over 15 years . I now how to drive and I have a very good driving record with no incidents to date. So that excuse was another pass-the-buck routine from lexus. I let this go for such a long time, since I was discouraged and very disappointed in the horrible customer service and accountability from lexus. This was just too much to understand. I had a lexus 200 ct pre paid lease that gave me very good mpg. I wanted a larger vehicle so after seeing the maroney 39/40 mpg boasted on the lexus 300 es hybrid and on many national advertisements, I decided to turn my ct 200 in six months early at a $2000 pre payment loss to me. This decision was solely based on the proclaimed advertisement claims under federal law and testing updates that I solely relied on . I now feel that I was exploited to lease my 300 es hybrid under false advertisment claims and fruadulent claims by lexus.Why do I say that? Because the vehicle has never given me anything close to the mileage claimed , never have I had 35 + miles on this vehicle and most of the time always exclusively in the 29-31 mpg range. This is not a problem I caused. This is a problem lexus caused. I have been cheated and deceived and ignored, told there is nothing they can do . I had the car checked and they gave me a song an d dance story. Since they need the car for a while to check this.

Hybrid engine not fully working , estimated mpg 40 mpg car is only getting now 22.5 And is getting worse. My wife had the same problem with her lexus hybrid and the dealer denied problem for 3 months until they sent a serviceman from california to fix problem .
Was driving in west sacramento , when the check engine, check hybrid system alarms went off.Within 1 minute , the car went dead, no power, no steering. If I was on an express way , it would have been a guaranteed fatality for me, my family and other cars involved. The dealership , lexus of sacramento told me the computer failed in the car. The car has only 55,000 miles on it. I am concerned about the quality of parts used by lexus. *Tr
