2006 LEXUS IS Complaints

LACK OF VISIBILITY DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF VIBRATION OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WHILE CAR IS MOVING, EVEN WORSE WHEN THE RADIO IS ON.

VSC AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE ON. INSIDE OF CAR SMELLS LIKE EXHAUST IS COMING THROUGH. STEERING SEEMS TO BE IMPAIRED

ISSUES EXIST WITH THE NAVIGATION SCREEN/UNIT. CLIMATE CONTROL IS RUN EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH THIS UNIT, AND WHEN THE UNIT FAILS, THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTROL THE CLIMATE IN THE CAR. WITH THIS SAID, THE WINDOWS CAN FOG UP AND IMPAIR VISIBILITY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

TAKATA RECALL- TOOK MY CAR TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP IN HONOLULU HI FOR THE RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH THEY CLAIMED IT WAS COMPLETED AND RESOLVED. TWO DAYS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH WOULD BLINK. I CALLED THEM TO LET THEM KNOW AND WE MADE AN APPT. WHEN I TOOK THE LEXUS BACK THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND CLAIMED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AT A $4,000.00. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT $0.00. IF YOU CAN, PLEASE HELP. THE SERVICE MANAGER THERE IS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL. MY LIGHT AIRBAG LIGHT IS TURNED ON AND WILL NOT GO AWAY FROM DASHBOARD. THE DOOR PANELING IS FALLING APART JUST BY NORMAL USE.

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

TAKATA RECALL. I AM UNABLE TO CONSCIOUSLY ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THE FEAR OF INJURY FROM A DEPLOYED AIRBAG. I THEREFORE WILL ONLY ALLOW PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEATS.

2006 LEXUS IS 250. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DETERIORATING DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANEL *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED BUT THE SIDE PANELS WERE NOT. THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE PANELS. THE CONSUMER STATED 3 YEARS WAS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. *JS

THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND WOULD NOT EXCELERATE OVER 40MPH. IT WAS BROUGHT IN TO LEXUS OF POHANKA IN DECEMBER OF 2016. THEY PERFORMED A TOP ENGINE CLEAN. THE CAR STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUES IN THE BEGINNING OF 2017. I CALLED LEXUS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OPENED A CASE AS I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF THE PISTONS. I HAD PAID $1500.00 FOR THE WORK PERFORMED. I WAS TOLD A SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER IN REGARD TO THIS PROBLEM. LEXUS WAS CALLING IT A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM. I NEVER RECEIVED THE LETTER BUT REPEATEDLY ASK LE US TO REIMBURSE ME AND SOLVE THE PISTON MISFIRE. I HAVE ALL OF MY EMAILS TO SUPPORT MY CASE. LEXUS STOPPED REPLYING TO THEM. THE CAR AT THIS POINT IS STILL SHAKING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING. WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED BY LEXUS IN THE PAST NOT TO DRIVE WHEN LIGHT IS FLASHING. AT THIS TIME I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I AM AWARE THAT MANY OF THESE MODELS AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE WORK PERFORMED OR NEW ENGINES.

THE INTERIOR DASH AND PANELS ARE STICKY AND CAN NOT BE CLEANED. THEY ALSO EMIT A FOUL SMELLING ODOR.
