Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL...MY 2006 LEXUS GS300 HAS 131,467 MILES & IS EXCESSIVELY CONSUMING OIL. I WAS TOLD BY LEXUS THAT THEY WANT TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR $2300 TO TAKE THE ENGINE APART. THIS PROBLEM STARTED LAST YEAR AND IS WORSE NOW. THE LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AFTER ONLY APPROXIMATELY 2,000 MILES. I HAD THE OIL TOPPED OFF & WENT BACK IN 1,000 MILES & THERE WAS HARDLY ANY OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. ON THE LEXUS FORUM, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 GS300 AND LEXUS NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ISSUES HAPPENING WITH THEIR VEHICLES. IF THE ENGINE WERE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING THIS COULD BE DETRIMENTAL. THERE WAS SUPPOSEDLY A LETTER ABOUT OLD CONSUMPTION SENT OUT, BUT THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME WITH A LETTER OR AT THE DEALERSHIP.
