Anyone else have this problem?  If I am on the highway in the left lane, yes
always some drift down hill, my car nose dives left off the highway.  I can
travel to work each day, back and forth, and never have to turn to the left.
Sometimes I have to be turning right on a left hand curve!  The dealer has
made lots of attempt to correct this. Even a new set of tires.
I will also admit the every loaner es 300 I got did the same thing.

Have you tried a different Lexus dealer?
Not all dealers are created equal.

If the new dealer fixes it, I would write to Lexus HQ and nail the previous
dealer.

I have a 2003 es300, and I notice the same thing, though maybe not as
noticeble as yours.

Well, after 20,000 miles I set up my 20K service and told them not to rotate
the tires because I played with the tires enough to get the pulling toned
down.  Then they (dealer) say you can't do that and now we have a fix for
the problem!  Reposition the strut mounts.  It seems to have worked for the
next 10k miles.  Hummm Lexus customer care had told me the old "It's just
the charateristics of the car" and then....they have a fix.  20,000 miles of
unhappy driving.  I am was looking into a ES330 but I see someone else with
the pulling issue?  I guess you have to drive the actual car you want to
buy...

The Toyota Solara has had the same problem (and the same fix) since the Gen
2 came out in 2004.

Coincidence?  You decide.
