Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE, AND DOING RESEARCH THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER LEXUS MODELS AND YEARS ALL EXPERIENCING OIL LOSS FROM THE TIMING CHAIN COVER GASKET CAUSING OIL LOSS THAT COULD POSE A POTENTIAL RISK TO THE ENGINE FROM OIL LOSS AND AFFECT DRIVABILITY AND SAFETY. LEXUS HAS NOT PROVIDED A RECALL ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THEY REQUEST $3500 TO FIX THE LEAK WITH A NEW GASKET. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO EVENTUALLY LOCK UP THE ENGINE IF ENOUGH OIL LEAKS OUT AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
