My car IS a 2006 lexus. In 2018 I showed the lexus dealership the damage to the rear view mirror. I told them many people online have similar issues. They said there were no recalls or tsbs issued for it. I did my own research and found out that in 2016, lexus issued a tsb because the rear view mirror has had problems where the color has black spots on it and the driver IS unable to see through the mirror. The tsb IS l-sb-0043-16 and weblink IS https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/sb-10084333-5448.pdf. I printed this out and took it to the dealership today. They said my car was out of warranty. I explained the tsb was issued 10 years after my car was manufactured so ofcourse the car would be out of warranty but the mirror should be repaired but they refused to acknowledge the date of the tsb and would not repair the mirror.

On 3/11/2019 I was driving about 35 mph when all of a sudden my power steering went out and locked up while driving almost impossible to turn. I had to slam the brakes to not hit a median. Luckily I didn't get rear ended. Took my car to the dealer. I found myself from research the vehicle has a campaign recall "9LC" and they said my car does not fall under the vin number range for the repair. Did my own research and found it was within range (how can I get more information for my vehicle than the dealer? Seems fishy to me like they don't want to do warranty work) they agreed to cover it if it was the steering rack. Now they did there diagnostics to confirm the issue. Two days later they said yes it IS the steering rack but the recall was done already by another dealership years ago. Called the other dealership they mentioned and they have no record of replacing the steering rack, even had them fax me the invoices. Also checked carfax and there IS no record as well but everything else shows? Currently I have a case open with lexus corp. Hopefully they fix this dangerous safety concern. Dealer tried selling me this repair for $4,000. Which IS outrageous. it has been over a week and I am on standby waiting a response from lexus corp.

I purchased my vehicle (used) in 2014. I have experienced a rebuilt transmission ($4200), new alternator and now I'm currently experience oil consumption. my car IS burning oil at-at-a rapid pace. I have replaced my oil two times in two months. my mechanic has informed me that it's the engine (manufacturer issue) and it IS due to carbon build up due to a standard for this make, model and year. it's burning alot of oil that IS causing the build up in the engine. it was advised that I should replace the engine (who can afford that) or have it rebuilt. if this a manufacturer defect it IS not the responsibility of the owner. this IS my only vehicle and I'm a mother of two young children. it's very unsafe for me to drive and IS jerking; while I drive. I just topped off my oil again this weekend; due to the oil light coming on. I only have 146,461 miles on the vehicle. that's very low for a 13-year old car. this IS my second lexus and it's very troubling to not only read this common problem for this year, and model car. lexus are usually reliable vehicles.

While driving on a freeway at speed limit my vehicle started leaning to the left and pulling to the right without me turning the steering wheel or making any turns,which almost resulted in a vehicular accident. Shortly after my windshield wipers went off without me turning them on and my gas gauge which at the time read about 3/4 of a tank went down to about 1/8.

While bringing the car to a stop, I am experiencing a very hard downshift from 2ND gear to 1ST gear. This hard downshift IS so abrupt that it feels as if you were rear ended. research shows this being an electronic failure in the electronic control module backed with hundreds of complaints of this exact issue to this particular year, make and model. In several cases, mentions of a class action lawsuit against toyota/lexus have been mentioned. It's a costly, yet unnecessary repair caused by a flawed design within the electronic componentry.. Considering the reoccurrence of this issue on a mass scale, it may be one best addressed via recall.

I have a problem with my 2006 gs300 that I purchased new, I'm the original owner and have my car regularly serviced. Back in 2013 I had my transmission replaced by lexus of westminster at about 80,000 miles, I was shocked when recently while driving my car starts to pull whenever I start braking whether I'm going slow or fast, I get an extra thump. I took my car to the lexus of cerritos who stated I need my transmission replaced again. My car only has 169,000 miles on it. So that would make this the 3RD transmission. I feel like I have a lemon car. I have replaced the headlights excessively, I have replaced ecu sensors and even tire pressure sensors as well as starter. I don't believe I should have to replace my transmission so often, I am not a hard driver and the last transmission was replaced less than 60,000 miles ago. I have read in online forums where others have experienced the same issues on their 2006 GS. I am a previous owner of a 1988 lexus gs300 that I had for almost 300,000 miles and never replaced a engine let alone a transmission. Please investigate I feel hopeless.

The brake pedal feel has changed over time. I have to practically shove the brake pedal to the floor in order for the brakes to start to work. So when I am driving on the highway it takes a long time for the car to start to slow down. The car will not brake if I only slight push the pedal, it has to be pushed far down. The brakes are new as they were just done by the dealership when I purchased the vehicle.

For model year 2006 and 2007 in the USA there IS no side indicators to let other drivers know your gonna make a turn. In japan there was/is fender indicators not sure if they function as signal indicators however were removed or not included in the USA release. I was almost blind sided on the freeway a few days ago cause the driver to my right didn't/couldn't see my signal indicators. Other drivers have to be directly behind or directly in front to see the turn indicators. For model year 2008 to 2011 identical body and style only with the addition of turn signal lights on the rear view mirrors that have a full 180 degree visibility.

I'm having serious problems with my headlights going out intermittently while driving. About 5 minutes after I turn them on, usually my passenger headlight goes out first, then about five to ten minutes later, the driver headlight light goes out. It's strange, sometimes only one goes out, and other times they both go out. The problem IS, it becomes a serious safety issue when they go out, because most times I am completely unaware until someone on the road gets my attention and tells me, or I'm constantly turning my headlights off and on, (which seems to be the temporary fix). the problem with that though IS I'm constantly flashing the car in front of me turning my lights of and on. Clearly there IS an electrical issue here, some kind of short or something, especially when every single day I see other vehicles on the road, just like mine, having the same issue...driving around with one light on and one light off. it's ridiculous. it's dangerous! I commute 2 hours (round trip) everyday on the highway for work and my child's school, and it's dark in the morning when we leave home and dark in the evening on our way home. It's extremely dangerous, especially on fog days and rainy days like today. this issue needs to be recalled. Enough IS enough! *tr

On February 16, 2010, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened RQ10-003 to determine whether the scope of prior Toyota recalls relating to potential unintended acceleration were sufficiently broad, including, among others, Toyota recalls 07E-082, 09V-388, 10V-017, and 10V-023.NHTSA also requested information regarding potential electronic causes of unintended acceleration in Toyota and Lexus vehicles.I. Pedal Interference from Floor mats, Carpet Covers and Plastic Pads in Carpets.During the RQ10-003 investigation, ODI reviewed a large volume of documents to assess whether additional vehicles should be recalled.Following the agency's analysis, NHTSA requested that Toyota recall additional vehicles.Toyota complied with the agency's request.The details of these recalls are set forth more fully in Toyota's reports to NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573.These recalls are as follows:Recall 11V-112: (1) model year (MY) 2004-2006 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid; and, (2) MY 2004-2007 Lexus RX330,RX350, and RX400h (hybrid model). The total estimated population under this recall is 769,379 vehicles.This recall remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment caused by a loose floor carpet cover (trim panel). Recall 11V-113: (1) MY 2003-2009 through 2009 Toyota 4Runner; (2) MY 2006-2010 Toyota RAV4; and, (3) MY 2008-2011 Lexus LX570.The total estimated population under this recall is 1,381,000 vehicles.This recall supplements recall 09V-388 and remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment by an unsecured floor mat.Recall 11V-115: (1) MY 2006-2007 Lexus GS300 (all wheel drive vehicles); and, (2) MY 2006-2007 Lexus GS350 (all wheel drive vehicles). The total estimated population under this recall is 19,647 vehicles.This recall remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment caused by inadequate clearance between the pedal linkage and a plastic pad embedded in the vehicle's carpet.II. Potential Electronic Causes of Unintended Acceleration.After NHTSA opened RQ10-003, NHTSA launched a ten-month study of potential electronic causes of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles.NHTSA launched the study in the spring of 2010 in light of concerns aired in Congressional hearings.NHTSA enlisted engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with expertise in areas such as computer controlled electronic systems, electromagnetic interference and software integrity to assess whether electronic systems or electromagnetic interference played a role in incidents of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles.That study has concluded.Two reports are associated with the study and are available on NHTSA's website.NASA's report is entitled Technical Support to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on the Reported Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) Unintended Acceleration (UA) Investigation, NESC Assessment No. TI-10-00618 (Jan. 18, 2011).NHTSA's report is entitled Technical Assessment of Toyota Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Systems (Feb. 2011).Both reports should be read in conjunction with each other. As stated in its report, NASA did not find an electronic cause of large throttle openings that can result in unintended acceleration incidents. NHTSA did not find a vehicle-based cause of unintended acceleration incidents other than the physical pedal interference causes that are being addressed by Toyota's recalls. This RQ is closed.

The aforementioned bulletins are obsolete, and any printed versions should be discarded. Be sure to review the entire content of this service bulletin before proceeding. This Service Bulletin provides best practice procedures for vehicle pulling complaint, diagnosis, and repair for 2002 ? 2021 model year Lexus vehicles. This information supplements Repair Manual procedures when the symptoms are: ?Vehicle Pulling: The vehicle moves to the right or left when the driver holds the steering wheel while driving straight ahead without exerting steering effort. ?Steering Wheel Off Center: The vehicle travels straight, but the steering wheel is not pointed straight ahead. The vehicle is not pulling. Before repairing a vehicle pulling to one side, it is necessary to clearly identify the cause of the pulling condition. Frequently, pulling to one side is diagnosed as a wheel alignment concern. However, the actual cause may be related to the lateral force generated by the tires, vehicle damage, road crown or worn components. Performing a wheel alignment when tire force is the cause could result in the wheel alignment being set at a value outside of specifications. This could then cause other problems such as uneven tire wear, etc. A customer may notice a pull to the left when in the left lanes of travel and notice a pull to the right or no pull when traveling in the right lanes of travel on the very same section of roadway. This road crown effect is environmental and cannot be corrected with suspension adjustments or any other wheel or tire modification discussed in this bulletin.
