The engine could stall in the middle of driving because of misfire. My lexus 250 only 40k mileage and always do proper maintenance to the engine every 3000 mile. I do research that lexus is 250 cause carbon build up because of the wrong design of the direct injection. Here's the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytquqflawr8. I brought the car to lexus dealer, they won't admitted, instead they blame me using a wrong fuel. Before I used 91octane shell, then I switch to 91octane chevron. Still has the problem. They should recall for this matter, because it's about safety and the engine could suddenly stall in the middle of driving.

The vehicle has been back to the dealership for repairs and each time it is returns, within a week the vehicle shuts down. As of october, the dealership has received almost $8000.00 for repairs. This vehicle is becoming a death trap. It would shut down after stopping at a stop light or stop sign, but the last two times, it has shut off while driving. Once on the interstate. We are asking that something be done immediately, this car is unsafe to drive and the dealership continues to find other issues to make money, but has failed to repair the issue caused by the recall repair. Lexus headquarters has been notified. The maryland attorney general has been requested to intervene and assist us with this issue. Your help would truly be appreciated.
