During driving in the highway suddenly the whole vehicle is shaking and reduced speed suddenly; all kind of engine warning lights are turned on as have to pull aside on the highway. Have to tow the car to the dealership and found that cylinder valve spring inside the engine has broken as the car only has about 65000 miles. This causing vehicle to misfire and vehicle is shaking. There are multiple recall of lexus model on valve spring and this obviously seems an manufacturer defect.

On feb 9 2016 a rodent had chew the wires inside my engine which the battery/check engine and the all wheel traction light came on. So I drove it to the dealer ship in tacoma fife of wa. So my insurance company told them to replace the whole engine main wiring harness for a total cost of $5372.38. Everything was good to go, then on 9 april 2016 my check engine and awd drive traction light came on. So I took it to the dealer again, but while driving on the highway I heard chimes going off then all of a sudden it loss acceleration power and loss speed quickly. I was able to manuever off safely to the side out of traffic and down an exit to a complete stop. I turn off the vehicle and started it back on. Then I was able to drive it with a wing on a prayer and made it to the dealer shop safely im glad that I did without getting into an accident. I was told by that dealer that diagnostics found inconsistency report from there computer findings and was told the service manager will keep it to drive it for a couple of days to make sure they can catch the problem. Right now im really concern for my safety, especially it is my wife's car, and if she was driving she would not know how to react in a situation like this. So bottom line im really concern of myself, wife and family safety and need to address this because it can happen again. Please advise on how to move forward. Safety has no quitting time, I bought a lexus becuase of its high safety expectations, but it aint working for me.

I saw white smoke in my rear view mirror while driving on a street. No engine lights appeared. I had been driving on the freeway a few minutes earlier. I pulled over and called my lexus dealer, who regularly does my maintenance. I had car towed to dealer, who said it was the vvti oil cooler hose and it would be covered under warranty. Next day, dealer tells me they replaced the vvti hose but it was still leaking. It was a different rubber oil hose and would not be covered under warranty. I am not happy. I see that this has been a problem with toyota and lexus so why didn't my dealership replace the vvti hose during a routine oil change and warn me about the rubber hose problem, so I could replace it with a metal one before it leaked. I hope there is no engine damage.

The vehicle engine light comes on and the vsc, and traction lights are on. Have spend over 500.00 on transistor and modules to continue to have nothing work. Most recently, was advised that I need a new transmission at $4,400. For a car with such a great reputation, and now seeing all of the other lexus owners complain about their transmission, its seems as if there is a trend of transmission issues that follow these vehicles.
