2008 LEXUS GS 350 Complaints

ENGINE CONSUMES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. CAR IS BURNING 1 QT OF OIL PER 1,000 MILES. EMISSIONS STANDARD DO NOT ALLOW FOR ENGINE TO BURN THIS AMOUNT OF OIL , POLLUTING THE AIR. THIS AMOUNT OF OIL BURNING CAN CAUSE A ENGINE TO LOCK -UP WITH OUT WARNING.

BRIEF ENGINE KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE AT COLD STARTUP PER TSB ITS A MINOR PROBLEM. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THIS IS A CAMSHAFT GEAR ASSEMBLY DEFECT , SAFETY RELATED AND LEXUS IS NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM WHEN THEY KNOW ITS THERE.

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH OIL CONSUMPTION, AFTER RUNNING IT FOR 2000 MILES AFTER EVERY ENGINE OIL (SYNTHETIC) AND FILTER REPLACEMENT, MY VEHICLE ENGINE OIL LEVEL SHOWS TO BE SUPER LOW. NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE ANYWHERE.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN DRIVING THE 2008 LEXUS GS 350 4DR SEDAN STALLS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT IS UNCONTROLABLE. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I PRESS MY FOOT GRADUALLY ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THEN CAR WILL STALL FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 MINTUES, THEN WILL INCREASE IN SPEED. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE, WHEN I NEED TO TURN AND THE CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN IT WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. OR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY OR AN INTERSECTION IT COULD STALL, AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. IT DOESNT HAPPEN EVERYTIME WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, SO FAR I'VE BEEN NOTICING AND TAKING NOTE IT HAS BEEN OCCURING 4X OR MORE TIMES A WEEK. BECAUSE OF THE INCONSITENCY OF THE CAR STALLING WHEN IN MOTION IT MAKES IT ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AND PEDESTRAINS. REGARDLESS ANY STALL OF A CAR WHILE ITS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY OR STREET EITHER TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT IS NOT SAFE.

MY REAR VIEW MIRROR LOOKS SCRATCHED (THE MIRROR COATING INSIDE THE HOUSING)AND DIS COLORED REAR VIEW MIRROR ; OBVIOUS DEFECTIVE MIRROR MY REAR VIEW MIRROR IS COMPLETE DETERIORATED TO A POINT THAT IT CAN NO LONGER SEE ANY OBJECT IN THE MIRROR. IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE

MIS FIRING VSC LIGHT IS ON WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I BROUGHT IT TO LA BLANC THEY CHANGE SPARK PLUGS THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY, I BROUGHT THE BACK OUT TO THEM THEY KEPT THE CAR OVER NIGHT, MR. JOHN SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I LOOKED UP THE LEXUS GS 350 2008 THERES 3 RECALLS ON THIS CAR , PIPING,FITTING,HOSES, LINE FUEL SYSTEM ,ENGINE COOLING

ON DECEMBER 21,2015 THERE WAS A CAR THAT RAN A RED LIGHT AND HIT MY CAR DAMAGING THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY CAR. THE AIRBAG ON MY DRIVER SIDE DEPLOYED BUT NOT ON MY PASSENGER SIDE. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 30MPH ON A CITY STREET AND THE GUY THAT HIT ME WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN.

CONDENSATION IN THE FRONT DRIVERS HEADLIGHT MADE MAY LIGHT GO OUT WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY. COMPLETELY UNABLE TO SEE, BECAUSE OF "LEVELING" LIGHTS. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BY USING MY BRIGHT LIGHTS. I TOOK TO THE DEALER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THE LEXUS RX IS ALREADY BEING RECALLED, BUT NOT MY VEHICLE. . THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR OVER 1000.

HEY I DID RECALL FOR MY CAR AFTER ONE MONTHS LATER ENGINE WAS STALL IN MOTION. PERSON WHO MAKE INVESTIGATION FROM HEADQUARTERS LEXUS THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WHIT CAR AND AFTER RECALL HE TELLING ME MY CAR VIN NUMBER SHOWED ITS ENGINE NO RECALLS. MY WIFE SHE DROVE THIS CAR WHIT MY KIDS . THANK NOTHING HAPPEN. IN MY OPINION DELEAR LEXUS TRI COUNTY FROM NEW JERSEY THEY NOT FIXED MY ENGINE LIKE THEY SHOULD AND AFTER ONE MONTHS ENGINE BROKE- I MAKE RECALL FOR THIS. THIS CAR HAVE SAFETY ISSUE. THEY KEEP MY CAR 3 WEEKS AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WHIT ENGINE. I BLAME THEM FOR MAKE PROBLEMS AND THIS CAR GOT 86000 MILES. THANKS

CONTACT IS OWNER OF 2008 GS 350 LEXUS. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPACE @ APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH -- THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY ON IT'S ON WITHOUT WARNING.
