I was inform by other lexus that there are recall for 2006-2013 lexus on serveral parts. I made a call to lexus dealership of sacramento and spoke to representative she had also confirm the recal on my car and booked me an appointment several days later. I went to my appointment and was denied my services, they told me it had expired and that I had to pay for all my repairs. I was never notified about any recalls. I feel like I was rip off for being 17years old kid. I felt cheated.

The transmission on my car has issues jerking when in gear and stopping when in use. I took my car to a certified lexus dealer and they could not repair it. I'm sure because it was no longer under warranty. I took it to a transmission machanic and I bought a 2006 is250 used transmission from a car that was totaled that had less miles and was totaled because the frame was bent because it was rear ended. In less than a year same problem transmission again! I spent $4500 the first go around I couldn't afford that again. I had to buy another car for what I paid to repair the lexus. I've checked for recalls yeah my dash has melted and all of the other recalls! I can't get those corrected!! I'm starting a class action lawsuit!!! I've spent to much money on a high class toyota that has more problems than its worth!!!!
