I was inform by other lexus that there are recall for 2006-2013 lexus on serveral parts. i made a call to lexus dealership of sacramento and spoke to representative she had also confirm the recal on my car and booked me an appointment several days later. i went to my appointment and was denied my services, they told me it had expired and that i had to pay for all my repairs. i was never notified about any recalls. i feel like i was rip off for being 17years old kid. i felt cheated.
Hi when i am driving a strong odor comes into cab smells like rotten eggs and fuel its very over powering while driving i have talked to mechanics and they cant figure out what it is or where it comes from. i have read on forums and it is a common issue with this model
While driving in the highway back home the check engine light came on and it said vsc. when i got home i did some research online and went back to my vehicle and checked the gas cover to see if it could off been that but it still has the check engine light on
Bought car maybe two weeks ago first day fuel line busted, third day suspension and tires came apart, my electrical components under the hood are mostly fried and worn out could cause for, brake lights uncontrollable
Vsc and engine light are on. inside of car smells like exhaust is coming through. steering seems to be impaired
The transmission on my car has issues jerking when in gear and stopping when in use. i took my car to a certified lexus dealer and they could not repair it. i'm sure because it was no longer under warranty. i took it to a transmission machanic and i bought a 2006 is250 used transmission from a car that was totaled that had less miles and was totaled because the frame was bent because it was rear ended. in less than a year same problem transmission again! i spent $4500 the first go around i couldn't afford that again. i had to buy another car for what i paid to repair the lexus. i've checked for recalls yeah my dash has melted and all of the other recalls! i can't get those corrected!! i'm starting a class action lawsuit!!! i've spent to much money on a high class toyota that has more problems than its worth!!!!
About 3-4 times a day when i'm driving freeway my car will let off a roton egg smell. i was told by a mechanic it might be my cytalist converter but when checked it passed.
Car has a recall but i do not think they were done by dealership history record has been purge. a lot of safety issue with this car.
I have contacted my local lexus dealership and cannot get any help with the takata recall, door panel recalls, and any other recall issue. i have been trying for the last year and half.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 lexus is 250. the contact received a notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v647000 (fuel system, gasoline). the contact stated that the part needed to remedy the vehicle was unavailable. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure.
In late 2012 took my wife's is 250 to the lexus dealership due to heavy raw gas smell. the lexus dealer in nj stated that the issue was related to old spark plugs...had my first tune up for the vehicle at 100k miles. well the smell didn't go away. we recently moved to fl and took the vehicle to a fl lexus dealership. this time we forced them to hold the car over night as the raw gas smell is prominent in the a.m., then goes away. they found the fuel hose/fuel gasket from the engine to the fuel tank was leaking. why couldn't the other dealer figure this out? looking up complaints on this web site suggests the fuel smell issue is common for the '06 is 250 model. this was a very dangerous situation with my wife and 2 year daughter traveling in the vehicle on a daily basis. shame on you lexus. there should be a recall for '06 is 250. stop being cheap!! cost us $1,250-1,500. *tr
