Six problems related to equipment have been reported for the 2006 Lexus GS300. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rearview mirror silver back coating coming off. Causes dark spots and lines in mirror and gets worse each month.
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!.
