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 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 problem with my lexus gs300 129000 miles, engine run roughly at idle and it burns oil like crazy, every 1000 miles I add about 2.5 q of oil. Looks like its carbon build-up issue on interior valves and components , I'm scared vehicle can stall. Dealer don't want to do anything about that because it's out of warranty already. Please help.
