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.
