Consumer Description

THE VVT-I OIL LINE ON MY LEXUS RX350 BURST WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. IT WAS A VERY LARGE LEAK WHICH COVERED THE GROUND, ENGINE, AND UNDERCARRIAGE. THE LOW ENGINE OIL MESSAGE AND ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WARNINGS CAME ON WHEN IT HAPPENED. COMPLETE LOSS OF OIL AND NO VISIBLE OIL ON THE DIP STICK. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE AND TALKING WITH THE MECHANIC THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE PART THOUGH I DON'T SEE ANY RECALL FOR IT.
