Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND MY CAR STARTED MAKING A TICKING NOISE. IT GOT LOUDER AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. IT SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING AND IT WAS SMOKING. ONCE I GOT IT TO THE MECHANIC, HE SAID MY OIL LINE BURST AND I ALL THE OIL GUSHED OUT. HE SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES BEFORE. LEXUS SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH WHEN MY MECHANIC CALLED THEY HAD OVER 200 OF THESE PARTS IN STOCK! *TR
