Equipment Problems of Lexus GS300

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.

While driving, ran over a pot hole filled with water and the abs light came on which ultimately affected the braking system. Took to Toyota and they said it needed the system replaced which would cost over 3500 dollars. At this time, we are still working on this matter!!!!! it happened Nov. 2015.

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.

While car newly made remote key crank car that had been sitting without being driven 30 +days , I crank car and alarm sounded and flashing lights came on and would not turn off when car key taken out of ignition. Then the car began to crank all by itself without the key even in the ignition!!! I unhinged the battery cables and the car wrnt dead. Also smoke was coming from back engine area!! I towed car to Lexus dealer and they replaced the starter. The gear shift locked and the car drove for about a month whe check engine light came on reporting electrical/oxygen sensor code. The car started making a clicking chirping low sound coming from behind dash board. I reported it to Lexus dealer service a again but nothing done about it. An outside mechanic said it could be an electrical problem or faulty alternator.

The problem with this car has been happening for a while, but I put in today's date because it doesn't let you leave it blank. Whenever I have to go up a ramp or overpass,if I have to wait on the incline part due to traffic or a redlight, after being on the brake for a few minutes when you take your foot off to go forward the car always rolls backwards and when you step on the gas a little to go forward as not to roll back the car doesn't go smoothly it surges and you have be in control of the brake or you'll roll back and have an accident or surge too far forward. I'm always afraid when I have to be on some overpass and have to wait to go because the longer the wait then I know for sure that as soon as I take my foot off the brake to go forward the car is going to start to roll backwards and it's really scary. If I have to go up a ramp in a parking garage and if there is a line the car will roll backwards when it's my turn to go then it surges forward. Even on a regular flat street, after having your foot on the break when you have to go this car surges forward with a jolt . I don't know what can be done about the car rolling backwards, but it's a big problem. Is this a problem with most cars or is this a defect? I need to solve this problem of rolling back and then the car jolting forward.

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!.
