Eight problems related to engine and engine cooling have been reported for the 2006 Lexus GS300. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
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.
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.
No 2 cyclinder no compression posible valve spring failure my car experience flashing check engine.
Took my wife's car to jiffy lube in kent wa 98032 and the for got to put oil in the engine so we contacted the jiffy lube corp. . And they came out did the walk around expection did and took pictures. That's all. Well my rings in the engine are blown because of no oil. So we took the car back to the jl and the worker said if we had any problems they jiffy lube would take care of any problems. . . So I do have the denile letter. Thank you mike jackson. 206-271-3778.
Loud cold start noise.
My 2006 Lexus Gs300 is consuming oil. I have taken the car to the Lexus dealer 4 times. The car is still under warranty and there is not anything being done to correct the problem. I purchased the car in August 2008. This problem occurred 18 months after I purchased the car. I continue to get sent away without an answer to the problem. From my research the problem are the rings. One of the Lexus technicians accidentally stated that the last time I took the car in. The car is consuming 1-2 pints of oil a month. There has not been anything done to correct the problem.
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.
