Lexus ES 350: Defects In Paint Quality
The Lexus slogan is “The Pursuit of Perfection.” But apparently that perfection doesn’t apply to the quality of paint used on certain Lexus models, including the Lexus ES 350. A number of Lexus owners have come forward with complaints of inferior paint, citing everything from paint that chips away easily to issues of blistering and flaking.
Online posts in any number of automotive forums shed further light on the apparent dissatisfaction among Lexus owners over paint quality issues. One owner reports “multiple small chips to the white base on front hood near grille, as well as lots of swirl scratches on body without any good explanation.”
Another user states that, “Previous vehicles from other automakers have never experienced anywhere near the number of chips that the Lexus has. My 10-year-old Accord looks pristine by comparison.”
At a price of $35,000 and up, quality should be priority No. 1 for Lexus. Judging by the growing number of complaints, however, over alleged defects in the quality of paint being used on certain Lexus models, Lexus has some repair of its own to do.
