This page covers 1 recall and 13 owner complaints for the 2014 Lexus ES.
Complaints filed for the 2014 Lexus ES spread across several systems, with brakes, electrical, and vehicle speed control each drawing a small but notable share of reports. On the brake side, owners describe sudden loss of braking ability without prior warning, with at least one diagnosis pointing to a failed brake fluid accumulator affecting the ABS system. Speed control complaints involve the vehicle accelerating unexpectedly, owners report the car surging forward without driver input, in low-speed parking situations. Electrical complaints include dashboard warning lights activating abnormally, in one case tied to an aftermarket telematics device. A single report describes a sunroof panel separating at highway speed. Given the small total complaint count, none of these patterns are heavily represented, but the brake and unintended acceleration reports describe abrupt, high-stress loss of control situations at low speeds.
