Consumer Description
THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY RATTLED/SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY UPON INITIAL START FOR ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. DRIVING, ACCELERATION, AND FUEL ECONOMY HAS DECREASED/WORSENED. A MECHANIC IN SANTA MONICA STATED THAT THE OBD READINGS SHOW RANDOM ENGINE'S CYLINDERS MISFIRES; AND A THREE-DAY PHYSICAL OBSERVATION AFTER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD REMOVAL SHOWS: UNEXPLAINED COOLANT OIL CONTAMINATION ISSUES, OIL MIXED WITH COOLANT AT EXPANSION TANK, RAW FUEL ON CYLINDERS, FUEL BLOW BY, AND REPEATED SPARK PLUGS BURNING AFTER EACH REPLACEMENT. AND DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF FORECASTED REPAIRS AND PARTS REPLACEMENT, THE TECHNICIANS RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE WHOLE ENGINE UNIT. WE'RE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED, LEXUS!
