Every gasoline ES model year from 2004 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Executive Passenger Car of the same year.
Scored separately as its own vehicle: ES Hybrid (2013–2022).
Across 22 scored model years the ES needs fixing less often than its class, and repairs cost about what you would expect. The spread between years is what matters: 2015 is its strongest, 2007 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Executive Passenger Car sold that same model year.

The line held a middling position through 2008, then moved to strong from 2009 on. This 2025 car falls in a strong stretch.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every ES model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Executive Passenger Car of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2023–2025), no single system stands out. All measured systems draw issue reports less often than the same systems on the average Executive Passenger Car of their year — a cleaner sheet than most of this class manages.

Failure reports filed with NHTSA — submitted by vehicle owners and repair shops alike — weighted against US sales volumes so a high-volume model is not penalised for selling well, then benchmarked within segment and model year.
