Car is consuming excessive amounts of oil. A quart every 200 miles or so. Also even after doing an oil change the car is not leaking the oil but burning it. Please enforce The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (originally enacted in 1966 and now recodified as 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301). Contacted lexus but the car is out of warranty. The car is burning too much oil leading to more pollutants.

Car wouldn’t start. Had it diagnosed and found out my fuel pressure sensor had melted and was leaking fuel had it replaced bug still smell gas in and around car. Car was under recalm for same issue years back and was serviced at the dealership. So I don’t see how im liable for repairs if it was a problem when the car came off the assembly line

My lexus 2006 gs300 has misfire problem at 108355 miles, with error codes ps300, 301, and 302. Spoke with dealership (longo lexus), and they told me the customer satisfactory program (csp) is already expired to free repair by lexus in 2016. If lexus has defective valve spring that caused the carbon build up, then they should send US the safety recall letter, and I have never received any. That's very irresponsible in their part.

I took my car into the dealer twice for the oil consumption issues during the period they offered it. I was turned away both times and only after the "repair period" ended was I informed that there was one to begin with. I've read about multiple people having the recall performed who had the same problem as me. My care now needs two to three quarts of oil per month and I was screwed out of my repair. Now we have the airbag light. I've read quite a few things online about temporarily repairing this airbag harness myself but thats not a solution to the actual problem. My children are in this vehicle daily and not having a fully functional airbag system is not at all safe.

Vehicle idling rough when coming to a stop. Consuming oil at high rate. Car has actually stopped running while driving. I have been attempting to have this issue resolved with the dealer and lexus since the vehicle was purchased.

Takata recall...my 2006 lexus gs300 has 131,467 miles & is excessively consuming oil. I was told by lexus that they want to do a diagnostic tests for $2300 to take the engine apart. This problem started last year and is worse now. The low engine oil light comes on after only approximately 2,000 miles. I had the oil topped off & went back in 1,000 miles & there was hardly any oil on the dipstick. On the lexus forum, this seems to be a common problem with the 2006 gs300 and lexus needs to take responsibility for issues happening with their vehicles. If the engine were to fail while driving this could be detrimental. There was supposedly a letter about old consumption sent out, but they never contacted me with a letter or at the dealership.

Low engine oil condition with no evidence of leaks. Excessive oil burning and having to constantly check and add several times between regularly scheduled oil changes. Often observed by checking before warning indication. This could lead to major engine failure including sudden lockup,stall, overheating, thrown rods, etc.there is recent evidence and admission from lexus that the piston rings were defective upon manufacture. *js

I took my vehicle into lexus and they confirmed there was a problem with this exact year and make and model for the cars engine misfiring. Lexus has acknowledged there was a campaign to fix this very issue and have confirmed my car needs the work done but has said they will be of no service to me. This problem has been fixed for other customers in the same situation but I feel as though lexus is directly ignoring me for a serious problem. *js
