My 2006 lexus IS 350 IS using oil at an alarming rate. I bought the car new in 2006 and it gets it's regular oil changes, I have to add a quart of oil around around 600 milles driven. it currently has 189,000 miles, but this has been going on for some time. I looked up the information on the internet and it said to go to this website and report it.

The car was driving normally all day on main roads around town until the steering wheel started to feel kind of loose. Than the steering wheel began making a whining noise while turning and sometimes lose the center position and drag one way or the other. It seems like the power steering wants to give up but it catches itself. Braking seems fine and driving at low speeds seems okay until I get up to 30-40 mph. I believe this has to do with the power steering since in this lexus model it IS electric power steering. Feels very unsafe to drive, I'm worried it will loose power steering at a turn and cause an accident.

There IS a change in the vehicle brake pedal feel its not firm anymore it almost goes to the floor and if I step a little harder the pedal goes all the way down I check and bleed the brakes front and rear and still not feeling firm the brake pedal I see that some cars same model and year as mine have a recall for the master cylinder brakes but not mine

Vehicle was stationary and sat overnight. Upon starting car srs light came on and was diagnosed with trouble code dtc 1861 that resulted in a knee squib malfunction due to a wiring harness issue. This requires a new wiring harness that will cost over $2500. Lexus knows this IS an issue as they have issued a tsb for it but refuses to issue a recall or do it as a goodwill service. This IS a major safety issue especially due to lexus realizing there IS an issue but refusing to step up and correct the issue.

I am in fear of my life and any others passengers I may have riding in my car. I think smelling fuel from inside my car and it's very noticeable after I have drove from 1 location to the next. I did have all my recalls completed by local dealership including the fuel delivery pipes. However there IS also 3 separate issues for this recall . The recall letter states do not drive your vehicle if you smell fuel and contact your lexus dealership immediately. I did contact my dealership & they said they don't smell fuel.i smell it and my passengers smell fuel but the smell of gas occurs most of the time I driven from 1 another and when I took it to lexus and it had it checked it sat all night and of course they won't smell it the consumer requested to be reimbursed for the recall repair.*js

Takata recall.... I am filing this complaint for the interior dash and door panels having a melting effect. They are now coated in a sticky residue. The dash causing visibility problems due to the shiny plastic melting. I'm guessing that the heat was a factor in causing this to melt. Making it very unsafe when driving on the highway.
- Visibility/wiper
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.
- Electrical system
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.

Starting around 95K, the engine seems to be consuming massive quantities of engine oil. At 101.5k, low engine oil light has come on after 1500 k miles after oil change with mobile 1 full synthetic oil. All online reviews show similar issues with other 06 is350 models around 100K miles. Forums also state lexus IS aware of the problem and suggests a full engine rebuild. Seems like a faulty engine that lexus does not want to fix and may cause engine seizure while driving.

The vehicle's oil consumption IS becoming greater and greater. I am now at a point where I need to add 2 quarts of oil every 3 weeks, which IS about 1000 miles driven. Because of the age of my vehicle, I was advised to start using synthetic/blend, but the oil consumption rate has not changed. It was inspected for leaks and there were none. does this have anything to do with past recalls? I know this IS not normal and I am hoping for a resolution as I love driving the car and it still feels reliable aside from the oil consumption rate, which IS getting worse and worse. I am now on my third case of oil purchased from costco but once I'm through with it, I'm dreading the rate will be much sooner- I don't want to have to add oil every week. I'm hoping for a resolution/advice. Thank you.

Lexus/toyota has promised to replace recalled parts for a 2006 lexus IS 350- sticky dashboards and side panels of cars in which low-quality or defective materials were used when manufacturing- that when exposed to sunlight and subsequent heat the parts melted becoming sticky, and permanently remaining in a semi-viscous state. However, no progress has been made towards remedying the situation. Regardless of having been on a waiting list to have the defective dash and door panels replaced since 2015-as of jan 2017 there IS still no estimated time for when the repair work will be done. Lexus claims to have limited parts/supplies to work with thus causing the delay, however after checking with a local third party auto repair shop, I learned that the third party can perform the repairs immediately. I spoke with a lexus rep about having the repairs made by a third party and being reimbursed by lexus- and I was informed by the rep that they would not cover the cost of the repairs done by a third party because it would have to be genuine lexus parts to be covered- but the third party assures me it would be using genuine lexus parts- and that due to the specific nature of the parts (dash and door panels) lexus would be the only manufacturer that makes those particular parts. I believe being on a waiting list with no estimated date as to when to expect relief IS a deliberate ruse to put customers off indefinitely and that lexus/toyota has no intention of actually following through with the repairs. We would like to have a third party do the repairs immediately and then be reimbursed for the out of pocket cost of correcting the defective/ recalled parts. http://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2015/toyota-replace-melting-shiny-dashboards.shtml. *tr

- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.

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.
