2024 Lexus ES350

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 ES350.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2024 Lexus ES350 sits on the latest Lexus platform, pairing a smooth eight‑speed automatic (S8) with a fuel‑efficient 22‑32‑26 mpg EPA rating that underscores its appeal as a comfortable, economical midsize sedan. Its reputation for dependability is reinforced by a modest total of nine owner complaints in the most recent year, with air‑bag systems topping the list of issues and only two recalls recorded for the model. When placed in the broader context of the ES’s reliability record from 2007‑2018, the 2024 model shows a clear improvement over the peak of 664 complaints in 2007 and the lowest of five in 2018, signaling a steady trend toward greater owner satisfaction.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The federal record traces a dramatic maturation arc from 2007 through 2018, with complaint volumes plummeting from 664 to just five, recalls stabilizing at one to two annually after 2012, and investigations ceasing entirely from 2013 onward. Positioned well beyond this established downtrend, the 2024 model year exhibits minimal federal activity, registering only two complaints each for Air Bags and Lane Departure systems, alongside two crash-related filings and zero fire complaints. These isolated, single-digit figures continue the low-incidence trajectory observed since total complaints dropped to fifty by 2013 and declined to single digits by 2018. While the data does not specify root causes for the 2024 entries, the absence of systemic patterns suggests sporadic incidents rather than emerging defects. Given its placement at the culmination of a generation-long reliability improvement and its negligible federal footprint, 2024 represents a sound acquisition year for this model.
