2006 Lexus GS300

Defect. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Lexus LS vehicles manufactured May 9, 2006, to July 20, 2010, 2006-2011 Lexus GS vehicles manufactured January 6, 2005, to September 10, 2010, and 2006-2011 Lexus IS vehicles manufactured August 30, 2005, to September 10, 2010. Due to anti-corrosion plating remnants, fuel may leak from where the fuel pressure sensor is attached to the fuel delivery pipe.

Risk. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will clean and reseal the fuel pressure sensor mounting area, free of charge. The recall began March 3, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Defect. TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND 2007 LEXUS GS300 AND GS350 ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) VEHICLES. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PLASTIC PAD EMBEDDED INTO THE FLOOR CARPET MAY INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

Risk. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL COULD TEMPORARILY BECOME STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION RATHER THAN RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION. A STUCK ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN UNINTENDED AND SUSTAINED VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE PLASTIC PAD ON THE FLOOR CARPET FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

"P2757 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF " WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN PULLING IN REVERSE. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE .

MY CAR IS A 2006 LEXUS. IN 2018 I SHOWED THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP THE DAMAGE TO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I TOLD THEM MANY PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR TSBS ISSUED FOR IT. I DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT IN 2016, LEXUS ISSUED A TSB BECAUSE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR HAS HAD PROBLEMS WHERE THE COLOR HAS BLACK SPOTS ON IT AND THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE MIRROR. THE TSB IS L-SB-0043-16 AND WEBLINK IS HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2016/SB-10084333-5448.PDF. I PRINTED THIS OUT AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. THEY SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED THE TSB WAS ISSUED 10 YEARS AFTER MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED SO OFCOURSE THE CAR WOULD BE OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THE MIRROR SHOULD BE REPAIRED BUT THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DATE OF THE TSB AND WOULD NOT REPAIR THE MIRROR.

ON 3/11/2019 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I HAD TO SLAM THE BRAKES TO NOT HIT A MEDIAN. LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET REAR ENDED. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER. I FOUND MYSELF FROM RESEARCH THE VEHICLE HAS A CAMPAIGN RECALL "9LC" AND THEY SAID MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE VIN NUMBER RANGE FOR THE REPAIR. DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND IT WAS WITHIN RANGE (HOW CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION FOR MY VEHICLE THAN THE DEALER? SEEMS FISHY TO ME LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO DO WARRANTY WORK) THEY AGREED TO COVER IT IF IT WAS THE STEERING RACK. NOW THEY DID THERE DIAGNOSTICS TO CONFIRM THE ISSUE. TWO DAYS LATER THEY SAID YES IT IS THE STEERING RACK BUT THE RECALL WAS DONE ALREADY BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP YEARS AGO. CALLED THE OTHER DEALERSHIP THEY MENTIONED AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF REPLACING THE STEERING RACK, EVEN HAD THEM FAX ME THE INVOICES. ALSO CHECKED CARFAX AND THERE IS NO RECORD AS WELL BUT EVERYTHING ELSE SHOWS? CURRENTLY I HAVE A CASE OPEN WITH LEXUS CORP. HOPEFULLY THEY FIX THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN. DEALER TRIED SELLING ME THIS REPAIR FOR $4,000. WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS. IT HAS BEEN OVER A WEEK AND I AM ON STANDBY WAITING A RESPONSE FROM LEXUS CORP.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (USED) IN 2014. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION ($4200), NEW ALTERNATOR AND NOW I'M CURRENTLY EXPERIENCE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY CAR IS BURNING OIL AT-AT-A RAPID PACE. I HAVE REPLACED MY OIL TWO TIMES IN TWO MONTHS. MY MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME THAT IT'S THE ENGINE (MANUFACTURER ISSUE) AND IT IS DUE TO CARBON BUILD UP DUE TO A STANDARD FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. IT'S BURNING ALOT OF OIL THAT IS CAUSING THE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE. IT WAS ADVISED THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE (WHO CAN AFFORD THAT) OR HAVE IT REBUILT. IF THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IT IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I'M A MOTHER OF TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. IT'S VERY UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND IS JERKING; WHILE I DRIVE. I JUST TOPPED OFF MY OIL AGAIN THIS WEEKEND; DUE TO THE OIL LIGHT COMING ON. I ONLY HAVE 146,461 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THAT'S VERY LOW FOR A 13-YEAR OLD CAR. THIS IS MY SECOND LEXUS AND IT'S VERY TROUBLING TO NOT ONLY READ THIS COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR, AND MODEL CAR. LEXUS ARE USUALLY RELIABLE VEHICLES.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING DO NOT WORK

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT SPEED LIMIT MY VEHICLE STARTED LEANING TO THE LEFT AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT ME TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR MAKING ANY TURNS,WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT. SHORTLY AFTER MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT OFF WITHOUT ME TURNING THEM ON AND MY GAS GAUGE WHICH AT THE TIME READ ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK WENT DOWN TO ABOUT 1/8.

TAKARA RECALL. WHILE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP BETWEEN 0-20MPH THE CAR JERKS HARSHLY.I NOTICED IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT WONT JERK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS GS300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING INDICATOR FLASHED ON AND OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED FROM A PARKED POSITION. THE DEALER (LEXUS OF LAKEWAY, 108 RANCH RD 620 S, LAKEWAY, TX 78734, (512) 580-0600) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PULLING INTO GAS STATION. TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC. ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON TOP OF FUEL PUMP BURNED THROUGH PLASTIC TOP OF FUEL PUMP. WHEN CONNECTOR UNHOOKED FROM WIRE HARNESS FUEL LEAKED OUT OF TANK UNTO TOP OF FUEL PUMP. REPLACED FUEL PUMP. PHOTOS ATTACHED.

WHILE BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP, I AM EXPERIENCING A VERY HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO 1ST GEAR. THIS HARD DOWNSHIFT IS SO ABRUPT THAT IT FEELS AS IF YOU WERE REAR ENDED. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS BEING AN ELECTRONIC FAILURE IN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE BACKED WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE TO THIS PARTICULAR YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. IN SEVERAL CASES, MENTIONS OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA/LEXUS HAVE BEEN MENTIONED. IT'S A COSTLY, YET UNNECESSARY REPAIR CAUSED BY A FLAWED DESIGN WITHIN THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTRY.. CONSIDERING THE REOCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE ON A MASS SCALE, IT MAY BE ONE BEST ADDRESSED VIA RECALL.

VEHICLE IS BURNING THROUGH OIL AT A FAST RATE. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAK MARKINGS FROM VEHICLE AFTER VEHICLE IS PARKED. THERE IS NO SMOKE FROM THE VEHICLE BUT CONTINUES TO BURN OIL AT A FAST RATE.

THE ENGINE IS GOING THROUGH ABOUT 4 QUARTS A MONTH I WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL ON THE MOTOR BUT I SEEM NOT TO FIND ONE

FUEL LEAK

THE WIRING HARNESS INSIDE FUEL TANK THAT POWERS FUEL PUMP BURNED UP INSIDE THE TANK.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 GS300 THAT I PURCHASED NEW, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED. BACK IN 2013 I HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED BY LEXUS OF WESTMINSTER AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES, I WAS SHOCKED WHEN RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING MY CAR STARTS TO PULL WHENEVER I START BRAKING WHETHER I'M GOING SLOW OR FAST, I GET AN EXTRA THUMP. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LEXUS OF CERRITOS WHO STATED I NEED MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN. MY CAR ONLY HAS 169,000 MILES ON IT. SO THAT WOULD MAKE THIS THE 3RD TRANSMISSION. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A LEMON CAR. I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS EXCESSIVELY, I HAVE REPLACED ECU SENSORS AND EVEN TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS AS WELL AS STARTER. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION SO OFTEN, I AM NOT A HARD DRIVER AND THE LAST TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED LESS THAN 60,000 MILES AGO. I HAVE READ IN ONLINE FORUMS WHERE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES ON THEIR 2006 GS. I AM A PREVIOUS OWNER OF A 1988 LEXUS GS300 THAT I HAD FOR ALMOST 300,000 MILES AND NEVER REPLACED A ENGINE LET ALONE A TRANSMISSION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE I FEEL HOPELESS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO PERTAINING TO THE ENGINE LEAKING OIL. THE CAR LEAKS 4 QUARTS OF FULL SYNTHETIC OIL MONTHLY. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING MY VEHICLE FIXED? I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IT TO LEXUS MCGRATH IN CHICAGO TO HAVE THEM REPAIR MY ENGINE. THANK YOU.

INSIDE AUTO DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR TURNING BLACK

I HAVE PROBLEM WITH MY LEXUS GS300 129000 MILES, ENGINE RUN ROUGHLY AT IDLE AND IT BURNS OIL LIKE CRAZY, EVERY 1000 MILES I ADD ABOUT 2.5 Q OF OIL. LOOKS LIKE ITS CARBON BUILD-UP ISSUE ON INTERIOR VALVES AND COMPONENTS , I'M SCARED VEHICLE CAN STALL. DEALER DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY ALREADY. PLEASE HELP.

REAR VIEW MIRROR IS FADE (DISCOLORED) CAN'T SEE ANYTHING

THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL HAS CHANGED OVER TIME. I HAVE TO PRACTICALLY SHOVE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKES TO START TO WORK. SO WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THE CAR TO START TO SLOW DOWN. THE CAR WILL NOT BRAKE IF I ONLY SLIGHT PUSH THE PEDAL, IT HAS TO BE PUSHED FAR DOWN. THE BRAKES ARE NEW AS THEY WERE JUST DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

FOR MODEL YEAR 2006 AND 2007 IN THE USA THERE IS NO SIDE INDICATORS TO LET OTHER DRIVERS KNOW YOUR GONNA MAKE A TURN. IN JAPAN THERE WAS/IS FENDER INDICATORS NOT SURE IF THEY FUNCTION AS SIGNAL INDICATORS HOWEVER WERE REMOVED OR NOT INCLUDED IN THE USA RELEASE. I WAS ALMOST BLIND SIDED ON THE FREEWAY A FEW DAYS AGO CAUSE THE DRIVER TO MY RIGHT DIDN'T/COULDN'T SEE MY SIGNAL INDICATORS. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE TO BE DIRECTLY BEHIND OR DIRECTLY IN FRONT TO SEE THE TURN INDICATORS. FOR MODEL YEAR 2008 TO 2011 IDENTICAL BODY AND STYLE ONLY WITH THE ADDITION OF TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ON THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS THAT HAVE A FULL 180 DEGREE VISIBILITY.

THIS MORNING, 3/14/2017, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON A MULTI-LANE CITY STREET, WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL, I SUDDENLY LOST THE POWER STEERING. LITERALLY FROM ONE SECOND TO THE NEXT IT WAS GONE. THANKFULLY I WAS SLOWING DOWN, MOVING INTO A TURN LANE SO I WAS ONLY MOVING ABOUT 10 MPH. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MAKE IT TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT.

FAULTY ECU COMPUTER RESULTING IN HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE ENGINE REPAIR UNIT GOES BAD AFTER 100,000 MILES. MULTIPLE VEHICLES REPORTED THE ISSUE AFTER EXPERIENCING FUEL INDUCTION PROBLEMS AND OIL LOSS RELATED TO BAD .GASKETS. CAR STARTED JERKING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSE A REAR END BUMPER COLLISION WHILE INTRAFFIC.

I'M HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER I TURN THEM ON, USUALLY MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT GOES OUT FIRST, THEN ABOUT FIVE TO TEN MINUTES LATER, THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT LIGHT GOES OUT. IT'S STRANGE, SOMETIMES ONLY ONE GOES OUT, AND OTHER TIMES THEY BOTH GO OUT. THE PROBLEM IS, IT BECOMES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THEY GO OUT, BECAUSE MOST TIMES I AM COMPLETELY UNAWARE UNTIL SOMEONE ON THE ROAD GETS MY ATTENTION AND TELLS ME, OR I'M CONSTANTLY TURNING MY HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON, (WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE TEMPORARY FIX). THE PROBLEM WITH THAT THOUGH IS I'M CONSTANTLY FLASHING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME TURNING MY LIGHTS OF AND ON. CLEARLY THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE HERE, SOME KIND OF SHORT OR SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERY SINGLE DAY I SEE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, JUST LIKE MINE, HAVING THE SAME ISSUE...DRIVING AROUND WITH ONE LIGHT ON AND ONE LIGHT OFF. IT'S RIDICULOUS. IT'S DANGEROUS! I COMMUTE 2 HOURS (ROUND TRIP) EVERYDAY ON THE HIGHWAY FOR WORK AND MY CHILD'S SCHOOL, AND IT'S DARK IN THE MORNING WHEN WE LEAVE HOME AND DARK IN THE EVENING ON OUR WAY HOME. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON FOG DAYS AND RAINY DAYS LIKE TODAY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS GS300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V647000 (FUEL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS GS300. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY A LARGE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A STOP. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V499000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED A CASE REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

2006 GS 300 IS EXPERIENCING A DOWN SHIFT PROBLEM, WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON HIGHWAY OR STREET THE CAR TRANSMISSION BUMPS SLIGHTLY THEN JERKS HARD PRIOR TO COMPLETELY STOPPING. LEXUS SUGGESTED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH ALREADY TOOK PLACE AT 80K. I NOTED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN STATED THIS PROBLEM WITHIN 80K BUT THE PROBLEM THAT'S OCCURRING AFTER 80K. IF THE PROBLEM EXISTED IN MY GS ONLY, I'D FIX THE PROBLEM AND MOVE FORWARD BUT I'VE READ A FEW ARTICLES FROM DIFFERENT LEXUS OWNERS SITING THE SAME ISSUE WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A PRE EXISTING ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE LEXUS SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR BEFORE PASSING THE COST ON TO CUSTOMERS THAT PAID OUT CLOSE TO 50K FOR THIS CAR.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT, ALL OF A SUDDEN DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM) TURNED OFF AND I WAS DRIVING WITH ONE LIGHT ALL ALONE. I TRIED SWITCHING ON AND OFF BUT STILL DIDN'T RESOLVED. NEXT DAY MORNING BOTH LIGHTS WERE GLOWING BUT THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER 10-15 MIN. THEN I TURNED OFF AND ON, IT CAME BACK. NOT SURE WHETHER ITS A FAULTY LIGHT BULB OR SOMETHING ELSE. *TR

LEXUS GS300 2006 ALL HAVE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS FAILURES. IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS, ALREADY FOUND OVER 10 CASE OF THE SAME PROBLEMS.

LOUD COLD START NOISE

RUSTING OF EXHAUST Y PIPE AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

WHEN I GO TO APPLY THE BRAKES OR OF I'M COASTING SLOW, THE CAR JERKS TWICE(ONCE WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN, AND A HARDER JERK RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR STOPS) EVERY LEXUS FORUM I VISITED WHERE PEOPLE HAD 2006 LEXUS GS300 AWD'S(WITH THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS), THEY WERE MIS-DIAGNOSED BEING TOLD IT WAS THEIR TRANSMISSION, WHEN IN ACTUALITY IT WAS THEIR ECU THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT IS A COMPUTER FAILURE, SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE AREN'T RECALLS ON THIS.

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF ACCELERATION 0-5 MILES THAN CAR ACCELERATES~ DEALER UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM DUE TO NO CODES FOR THAT PROBLEM, INSTEAD IT TOOK CODE IN HISTORY FOR A SELINOID AND SAID CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION AT 124,000. WHILE GOING ACROSS 5 LANE CROSSING, LIGHT TURNED YELLOW, I PUSH PEDAL TO ACCELERATE CAR AND ACCELERATION DID NOT OCCUR, IT TOOK 3-5 SECONDS TO ACCELERATE AND THEN TOOK OFF. ON HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC, IF CAR IDLES 0-5 IN SLOW TRAFFIC,CAR FEELS LIKE IT WILL CUT OFF, BUT THE CATCHES POWER AFTER A HARD PRESS ON GAS PEDAL. MOST OF DRIVING IS CITY STREET, CAR IS NOW TURNING OFF IN DRIVE AND REVERSE INTERMITTENT. CAR IS SURGING DURING LOW ACCELERATION.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. VEHICLE BURNS 3 1/2 QTS OF OIL OR MORE EVERY 1500 MILES. CAUSING MY PLUGS TO FOUL OUT AND CHECK ENGINE CODE (0300) MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE CAUSING CAR TO HAVE SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. I TOOK CAR IN TO CHARLES BARKER LEXUS AND WAS CHARGED A DIAG FEE AND THEN TOLD THE CAR IS BURNING OIL INTERNALLY AND WOULD BE $4100 PLUS PARTS FOR FURTHER DIAG. LEXUS OFFERED A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR STATED ISSUES FOR 9 YEARS W/ NO MILEAGE LIMITATIONS OF WHICH I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF AND WAS WITHIN TIME FRAME TO QUALIFY. AT THE TIME I WAS UNAWARE OF THE PROGRAM AND NOW LEXUS IS TELLING ME MY VIN # DOES NOT FALL UNDER THAT PROGRAM AND MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING ALL OF THE IDENTICAL ISSUES. ALSO TRANSMISSION SOLENOID FAILED CAUSING HARD JOLT WHEN SLOWING DOWN BEFORE STOPPING. FIXED SOLENOID ONLY TO THEN HAVE TO REPLACE CARS COMPUTER. THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF THE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH LEXUS TRANSMISSIONS AND COMPUTER FAILURE FOR THE 2006 GS 300 AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE THAT WAS FILED BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUES EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED LEXUS INFORMING THEM OF MY ISSUES AND THEY DECLINE TO ADDRESS MY ISSUES TELLING ME THAT MY VEHICLE VIN # DOES NOT FALL UNDER ANY RECALLS. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID AND I HAD THE CARS COMPUTER REBUILT VS SPENDING THE ADDITIONAL MONEY TO REPLACE IT. LEXUS DENIES THE ISSUES STATED THAT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE FORUMS PAGES AND REFUSES TO REFUND M

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 LEXUS GS300. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, A SMOKE ODOR EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SLOWED DOWN THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED SPARKS ON THE GROUND. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXITED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INJURIES. THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

I PURCHASED A 2006 LEXUS GS300 AWD FROM A PRIVATE OWNER ON FEBRUARY 3, 2016. SINCE FEBRUARY 27, 2016, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING GOES COMPLETELY OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WITHOUT ANY WARNING OTHER THAN THE STEERING LIGHT EMITTING. TODAY, FEBRUARY 29TH, AS OF THIS WRITING, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE I WAS COMMUTING PASSENGERS VIA UBER, FROM SPRINGFIELD, VA TO ARLINGTON, VA, GOING I-495 TO I-66, WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. STEERING/TURNING BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND MAKE COMPLETE TURNS. I WILL ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO A LEXUS SERVICE CENTER IN ALEXANDRIA, VA FOR DIAGNOSIS. OFFICIAL CARFAX REPORTS NO RECALL JOB WAS EVER PERFORMED ON VEHICLE. MY RESEARCH ON THE POSSIBLE RECALL INFORMATION ARE DOCUMENTED AS SSC6LE AND SSC9LC.

STARTED DRIVING CAR OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING P/S LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE IT WAS A PREOWN VEHICLE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE EPS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BUT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY DONE ACCORDING TO LEXUS IN 2009. IF THE RECALL WAS ALREADY DONE THEN WHY DID MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING GO OUT AGAIN? SINCE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAD A RECALL IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME 2000 DOLLARS. EPS IS SOMETHING VERY DANGEROUS TO GO OUT WHILE YOUR DRIVING IT CAUSES THE STEERING TO BE VERY HARD TO TURN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.

MY LEXUS GS300 PASSENGER FRONT DOOR IS HARD TO CLOSE OR OPEN, I HAVE TRIED APPLYING GREASE AND PENETRANT TO THE HINGES AND NO LUCK SO FAR. DOOR IS NOT ALIGNED ANYMORE, I HOPE THAT LEXUS OF AMERICA TAKES RESPONSIBILITY ON THE DOOR ISSUE. VEHICLE PARKED CORRECTLY, NO DOWNHILL OR UPHILL POSITION.

ENGINE CONSUMES EXCESS OIL BEFORE INTERVAL SERVICES. ENGINE CONSUMED APPROXIMATELY 5 QUARTS OF TOTAL ENGINE OIL AT 3,000 MILES AFTER LATEST OIL CHANGE. ENGINE OIL CAPACITY IS 6.3 QUARTS WITH FILTER REPLACEMENT. NO LEAKS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED. NO BLUE SMOKE TO RULE OUT ENGINE OIL BURN INDICATORS. ENGINE DIP STICK SHOWS SIGNS OF OIL REDUCTION AFTER OIL CHANGE. CHECKED OIL LEVELS AFTER 1,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 3,000 MILES. AFTER 3,000 MILES, OIL IS BELOW THE RECOMMENDED INTERVALS TO ALMOST NON-EXISTENT ON DIPSTICK. EXCESS ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION WITHOUT ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE OF MECHANICS POSES EXTREME THREAT TO CONSUMER SAFETY AND ASSETS. HAVE RESEARCHED 2006 GS 300 KNOWN ISSUES - THIS IS ONE OF THEM. NO REPAIRS AND/OR FIXES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY LEXUS USA, OR TOYOTA USA.

VEHICLE IS BURNING THROUGH OIL AT ACCELERATED RATE. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAK MARKINGS FROM VEHICLE AFTER VEHICLE IS PARKED HOWEVER, LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT COMES ON WITHIN 1000 MILES OF OIL CHANGE. THE RATE OF THIS HAS BEEN ACCELERATING IN THE LAST YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP (KUNI LEXUS) HAS INSPECTED IT, NOTIFIED US OF SOME SORT OF A RECALL WHICH HAD AN EXPIRATION DATE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. HOW CAN A RECALL EXPIRE? HOW COME I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED?

HELLO, FIRST THE HEADLIGHTS AUTO ADJUST LOW. THEY STATE ITS NORMAL AND I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER A LEAST 13 TIMES FOR HEADLIGHTS POINTING LOW AND ONLY GIVES ABOUT 3 OR 4 FT ON LIGHT BEYOND GOOD. NOW WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY DIDN'T NOTHING. REAR VIEW MIRROR FADED IT'S NOT SAFE TO USE IT. DEALER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WANTS ME TO 1300$ FOR NEW MIRROR. FRONT BUSHING SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY. I TOOK IT TO 3 REPAIR SHOPS AND ALL STATED AS KNOW PROBLEM, THEY QUOTED 2000$ FOR REPAIR BECAUSE LEXUS WILL NOT AND DON'T SELL ONLY BUSHINGS. YOU HAVE TO BUY ALL NEW COMPLETE ARM CONTROLS. LAST ITEM, THE HOOD STARTED TO RUST FROM UNDER THE PAINT WITHOUT ANY CHIPS. THE RUST STARTS A BUBBLE THEN CHIPS OPEN. ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ARE LISTED LEXUS FORUMS ALL OVER GOOGLE. VERY EASY TO FIND AND VERIFY. I HAVE CARS OVER 25YEARS OLD NEVER HAD A REAR VIEW MIRROR FADE TO THE POINT IT'S UNSAFE TO USE. BACKING OUT OF DRIVES. OUR KIDS AND NEIGHBORS MUST BE SAFE. HEAD LIGHTS THAT ARE UNSAFE , SCARY STUFF AND NO ONES FORCES LEXUS TO FIX THESE. GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU!
