Consumer Description

IN LATE 2012 TOOK MY WIFE'S IS 250 TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP DUE TO HEAVY RAW GAS SMELL. THE LEXUS DEALER IN NJ STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO OLD SPARK PLUGS...HAD MY FIRST TUNE UP FOR THE VEHICLE AT 100K MILES. WELL THE SMELL DIDN'T GO AWAY. WE RECENTLY MOVED TO FL AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FL LEXUS DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME WE FORCED THEM TO HOLD THE CAR OVER NIGHT AS THE RAW GAS SMELL IS PROMINENT IN THE A.M., THEN GOES AWAY. THEY FOUND THE FUEL HOSE/FUEL GASKET FROM THE ENGINE TO THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. WHY COULDN'T THE OTHER DEALER FIGURE THIS OUT? LOOKING UP COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE SUGGESTS THE FUEL SMELL ISSUE IS COMMON FOR THE '06 IS 250 MODEL. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY WIFE AND 2 YEAR DAUGHTER TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS. SHAME ON YOU LEXUS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR '06 IS 250. STOP BEING CHEAP!! COST US $1,250-1,500. *TR
