2006 LEXUS GS Complaints

PLEASE BE ADVISED I SMELL A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING IN THE CAR COMPARTMENT AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WENT TO LEXUS DEALERSHIP THEY STATEMENT WAS IT IS A CRACK IN THE FUEL GASKET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS GS300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE AND THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTON RINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO OFFERED TO PAY FOR PART OF THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

I DRIVE A 2006 LEXUS GS300 THAT IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE EXTERIOR HEADLIGHT RANDOMLY TURNING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED ONE TICKET FOR THIS. I SEE THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ON HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AN INVESTIGATION HAS NOT BEEN OPENED. THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TO WHAT IM ASSUMING WAS MY OTHER SIDE, ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, I THINK IT COST ME ABOUT $1500 AT THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP. I DEFINITELY CANT AFFORD TO PAY THAT RIGHT NOW AND NOT TO MENTION I ALREADY GOT A TICKET FOR THIS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT BUT IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT. ARE THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE METHODS I COULD USE AS A TEMPORARY FIX UNTIL I CAN GET THIS FIXED? *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ONE EVENING BOTH HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF ALONE. I TURNED THE KNOB OFF AND ON AND THEY RESTARTED, BUT NOW CONTINUE TO TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES ONE SOMETIMES BOTH AFTER DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF TIME. I HAVE HAD THE BULBS REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. *TR

I OWN A 2006 LEXUS GS300 WITH CURRENTLY 87,000 MILES AND FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS, THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO TURN ITSELF OFF WHILE DRIVING. . MOST TIMES IT HAPPENS ON PASSENGER ! I HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND ON FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN (FOR ANOTHER FEW MINUTES AND IT WOULD TURN ITSELF OFF AGAIN). *TR

SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS REACHED 80,000 MILES ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF ITSELF WHEN I AM DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN. IT WOULD BE EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT THAT WILL GO OFF OR SOMETIMES BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT ON AGAIN AND BOTH WILL WORK FINE. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TIME I HAVE MY HEADLIGHTS ON. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS WHEN I HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT SHORTLY AFTER BEING TURNED ON.!!!.....SOMETIMES IF I TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON, THEY WORK. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY BULB NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (COST $280) BUT I THOUGHT IF THE BULB WAS BLOWN IT WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL. AFTER GOOGLING THE SUBJECT, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER CONCERNED LEXUS OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BULB. THE BULBS ARE FINE. THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS IN A RURAL AREA WHERE THERE ARE VERY LITTLE STREET LIGHTING. DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING. THIS ISSUE KEEPS OCCURRING. AFTER CAREFUL REVIEW, IT WAS NICE TO KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT IS UNSETTLING TO SEE THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. I'VE REPLACED THE LAMPS AND THIS WONT FIX THE PROBLEM. I CANT BELIEVE LEXUS IS LETTING THIS CONTINUE WITH SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE OF HAVING NON WORKING HEADLIGHTS. THEY GO ON AND OFF AT ALL TIMES. I'VE GOT KIDS AND IM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE ANY TIME CLOSE TO NIGHT FALL WITH THEM IN THE CAR. I NOTICE THEY ARE ON THEN 5 MINUTES LATER THEY FLICKER OFF. I TURN THE SWITCH ON AND OFF AND THEY STAY ON FOR A BIT THEN TURN OFF AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND IT LOOKS LIKE ITS AFFECTING MANY OF US. ITS SO FRUSTRATING THAT I CANT GET A REASON FOR IT AND I'VE GOTTEN 3 DIFFERENT ESTIMATES ON THE REPAIR FOR 5 DIFFERENT THINGS. NO ON CAN TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THEY JUST WANT ME TO START REPLACING THINGS FOR 1,000'S OF DOLLARS AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US. *TR

HEADLAMP (AFS) DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. RIGHT HEADLAMP SUPPOSED TO BE AUTO LEVELING DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND FACES TO THE GROUND. ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THEY DID. (AFS) HAS NEVER WORKED AND RIGHT HEADLAMP FALLS AND FACES TO THE GROUND AND WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP HOW TO FIX IT MY SELF. HEADLAMPS ALSO WOULD TURN OFF AT NIGHT AND NOT WORK AND WAS ON A TRIP AND HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THEY WANTED TO TURN BACK ON AGAIN. THE HEADLAMP STILL TODAY DOES NOT FACE AT NORMAL DEGREE AND CANNOT SEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE VERY WELL. TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEAD LAMP IS OVER $1,200 AND WAS TOLD THAT WARRANTY DO NOT COVER THIS EVER SINCE I HAVE COMPLAINED. THERE IS ALSO "SUPPOSED" TO BE A SAFE GUARD WARNING THE DRIVER THAT THE HEADLAMPS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY AND IT DOES NOT WORK EITHER. NO ALARMS GO OFF, NO LIGHTS EITHER. SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THE SAME THING AS WELL. HEAD LAMP FLICKERS AND HEADLAMP FACING THE GROUND. STEERING WHEEL ALSO IS NEVER LEVEL AND I HAVE HAD IT "CORRECTED" BUT IM TOLD THAT IT IS "JUST THE ROAD" IT IS NEVER STRAIGHT. BRAKES HAVE TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR THE PUMP IS VERY LOUD AND ALSO AM TOLD ITS NORMAL. SUSPENSION HAS A BANGING SOUND AS WELL SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TOO. *TR
