Transmission Solenoid Problems of Lexus GS300

Excessive oil consumption. Vehicle burns 3 1/2 qts of oil or more every 1500 miles. Causing my plugs to foul out and check engine code (0300) multiple cylinder misfire causing car to have sluggish acceleration. I took car in to charles barker Lexus and was charged a diag fee and then told the car is burning oil internally and would be $4100 plus parts for further diag. Lexus offered a customer support program for stated issues for 9 years w/ no mileage limitations of which I was never informed of and was within time frame to qualify. At the time I was unaware of the program and now Lexus is telling me my VIN # does not fall under that program and my vehicle is experiencing all of the identical issues. Also transmission solenoid failed causing hard jolt when slowing down before stopping. Fixed solenoid only to then have to replace cars computer. The transmission repair mechanic informed me of the ongoing problems with Lexus transmissions and computer failure for the 2006 GS 300 as well as a class action law suite that was filed because of the same issues excessive oil consumption. I have since contacted Lexus informing them of my issues and they decline to address my issues telling me that my vehicle VIN # does not fall under any recalls. I have spent over $2000 replacing the transmission solenoid and I had the cars computer rebuilt vs spending the additional money to replace it. Lexus denies the issues stated that is well documented on the forums pages and refuses to refund me for monies spent as well as refuses to address excessive oil consumption issues when they just settled a class action lawsuit for the same issues stated and offered a customer support program to pay for the cost of repairs for a period of 9 yrs with no mileage limitations. I have documentation for my repairs and looking for assistance in what action I need to take for this matter.
