Toyota and Lexus v6 cold start engine rattle � 2gr/3gr/4gr previousnext Toyota and Lexus v6 cold start engine rattle � 2gr/3gr/4gr the first cold start of the morning some Toyota and Lexus v6 owners, especially those who have the 2. 5l or 3. 5l v6, notice a loud rattle the first few seconds after startup. The noise disappears after the car builds oil pressure. The most common cause is the variable valve timing camshaft gear assembly leaking down oil pressure as it sits. What is this part and what should you do if you experience these symptoms? the variable valve timing system allows the engine to benefit from timing that can change as the engine dictates � it's like having many different styles of camshaft at the ready. At a steady freeway cruising speed? the variable valve timing acts like an exhaust gas recirculation system, helping to reduce engine emissions. Going for a spirited drive? the timing ramps itself up, aggressively advancing the intake cam to help speed air and fuel into the cylinders to give you the most powerful combustion it can muster. Both intake and both exhaust camshafts are independently controlled by individual valves that flow oil into and out of the camshaft gears, advancing and retarding the camshaft's timing as dictated by the engine's computer. Oil pressure is used to move internal phasers in the cam gears, allowing them infinite variations of position. Below is a photo of a variable camshaft gear opened vvt timing gear Lexus is 250 2006 has the same issue how come there is no recall.

Failure Date: 06/18/2016

Is 250 dash has melted and creates harsh glare and reflects into the windshield blocking the view out the front (see the attached picture in which the gooey surface of the dash is blocking the view of other vehicles on the road) when driving east or west towards the sun making it dangerous to drive. The problem is worst on hot days when the dash becomes more tacky, gooey, and reflective. The dash also seems to off gas and create a haze that builds on the windshield. Toyota is replacing some off the dashes and interiors through a "warranty enhancement" but will not replace mine because the vehicle has been in a wreck, had an insurance claim, and been repaired. This voids their "enhancement". The issue is present on many Lexus vehicles, though and can be a hazard. They will not fix my vehicle because this issue is not yet a recall. I am worried about not being able to see out of the vehicle well.

Toyota/Lexus in early 2015 stated it would extend its warranty for the consoles (front and sides) of certain models including Lexus is 250 because they are sticky and melting and disintegrating/crumbling. We starting 2018 soon making it 3 years of waiting for these to be replaced. We receive a brick wall from dealers and corporate Lexus when we ask about it--always some general response about back up orders and trying and etc. It seems maybe us consumers could use the assistance of NHTSA to oversee this process and ensure we receive safe consoles in a timely way. I am extremely concerned about the state of the side consoles. The front has been replaced but waiting going on 3 years for side panels. Thank you.

I never received a recall on the dashboard or door dash inside my car. It not omly looks bad it is sticky and oerls with any touch. Lexus should replace this issue for all owners late or missed. Lexus represents luxury well leaving cars like this is representing the opposite. Lexus take care of your customers. Car was this way.
