2006 LEXUS GS300 Engine Problems

"P2757 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF " WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN PULLING IN REVERSE. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE .

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (USED) IN 2014. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION ($4200), NEW ALTERNATOR AND NOW I'M CURRENTLY EXPERIENCE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY CAR IS BURNING OIL AT-AT-A RAPID PACE. I HAVE REPLACED MY OIL TWO TIMES IN TWO MONTHS. MY MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME THAT IT'S THE ENGINE (MANUFACTURER ISSUE) AND IT IS DUE TO CARBON BUILD UP DUE TO A STANDARD FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. IT'S BURNING ALOT OF OIL THAT IS CAUSING THE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE. IT WAS ADVISED THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE (WHO CAN AFFORD THAT) OR HAVE IT REBUILT. IF THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IT IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I'M A MOTHER OF TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. IT'S VERY UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND IS JERKING; WHILE I DRIVE. I JUST TOPPED OFF MY OIL AGAIN THIS WEEKEND; DUE...

WHILE BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP, I AM EXPERIENCING A VERY HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO 1ST GEAR. THIS HARD DOWNSHIFT IS SO ABRUPT THAT IT FEELS AS IF YOU WERE REAR ENDED. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS BEING AN ELECTRONIC FAILURE IN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE BACKED WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE TO THIS PARTICULAR YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. IN SEVERAL CASES, MENTIONS OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA/LEXUS HAVE BEEN MENTIONED. IT'S A COSTLY, YET UNNECESSARY REPAIR CAUSED BY A FLAWED DESIGN WITHIN THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTRY.. CONSIDERING THE REOCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE ON A MASS SCALE, IT MAY BE ONE BEST ADDRESSED VIA RECALL.

VEHICLE IS BURNING THROUGH OIL AT A FAST RATE. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAK MARKINGS FROM VEHICLE AFTER VEHICLE IS PARKED. THERE IS NO SMOKE FROM THE VEHICLE BUT CONTINUES TO BURN OIL AT A FAST RATE.

THE ENGINE IS GOING THROUGH ABOUT 4 QUARTS A MONTH I WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL ON THE MOTOR BUT I SEEM NOT TO FIND ONE

I RECEIVED A RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO PERTAINING TO THE ENGINE LEAKING OIL. THE CAR LEAKS 4 QUARTS OF FULL SYNTHETIC OIL MONTHLY. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING MY VEHICLE FIXED? I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IT TO LEXUS MCGRATH IN CHICAGO TO HAVE THEM REPAIR MY ENGINE. THANK YOU.

I HAVE PROBLEM WITH MY LEXUS GS300 129000 MILES, ENGINE RUN ROUGHLY AT IDLE AND IT BURNS OIL LIKE CRAZY, EVERY 1000 MILES I ADD ABOUT 2.5 Q OF OIL. LOOKS LIKE ITS CARBON BUILD-UP ISSUE ON INTERIOR VALVES AND COMPONENTS , I'M SCARED VEHICLE CAN STALL. DEALER DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY ALREADY. PLEASE HELP.

FAULTY ECU COMPUTER RESULTING IN HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE ENGINE REPAIR UNIT GOES BAD AFTER 100,000 MILES. MULTIPLE VEHICLES REPORTED THE ISSUE AFTER EXPERIENCING FUEL INDUCTION PROBLEMS AND OIL LOSS RELATED TO BAD .GASKETS. CAR STARTED JERKING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSE A REAR END BUMPER COLLISION WHILE INTRAFFIC.

LOUD COLD START NOISE

RUSTING OF EXHAUST Y PIPE AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS

WHEN I GO TO APPLY THE BRAKES OR OF I'M COASTING SLOW, THE CAR JERKS TWICE(ONCE WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN, AND A HARDER JERK RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR STOPS) EVERY LEXUS FORUM I VISITED WHERE PEOPLE HAD 2006 LEXUS GS300 AWD'S(WITH THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS), THEY WERE MIS-DIAGNOSED BEING TOLD IT WAS THEIR TRANSMISSION, WHEN IN ACTUALITY IT WAS THEIR ECU THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT IS A COMPUTER FAILURE, SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE AREN'T RECALLS ON THIS.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. VEHICLE BURNS 3 1/2 QTS OF OIL OR MORE EVERY 1500 MILES. CAUSING MY PLUGS TO FOUL OUT AND CHECK ENGINE CODE (0300) MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE CAUSING CAR TO HAVE SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. I TOOK CAR IN TO CHARLES BARKER LEXUS AND WAS CHARGED A DIAG FEE AND THEN TOLD THE CAR IS BURNING OIL INTERNALLY AND WOULD BE $4100 PLUS PARTS FOR FURTHER DIAG. LEXUS OFFERED A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR STATED ISSUES FOR 9 YEARS W/ NO MILEAGE LIMITATIONS OF WHICH I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF AND WAS WITHIN TIME FRAME TO QUALIFY. AT THE TIME I WAS UNAWARE OF THE PROGRAM AND NOW LEXUS IS TELLING ME MY VIN # DOES NOT FALL UNDER THAT PROGRAM AND MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING ALL OF THE IDENTICAL ISSUES. ALSO TRANSMISSION SOLENOID FAILED CAUSING HARD JOLT WHEN SLOWING DOWN BEFORE STOPPING. FIXED SOLENOID ONLY TO THEN HAVE TO...

ENGINE CONSUMES EXCESS OIL BEFORE INTERVAL SERVICES. ENGINE CONSUMED APPROXIMATELY 5 QUARTS OF TOTAL ENGINE OIL AT 3,000 MILES AFTER LATEST OIL CHANGE.

ENGINE DIP STICK SHOWS SIGNS OF OIL REDUCTION AFTER OIL CHANGE. CHECKED OIL LEVELS AFTER 1,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 3,000 MILES. AFTER 3,000 MILES, OIL IS BELOW THE RECOMMENDED INTERVALS TO ALMOST NON-EXISTENT ON DIPSTICK.

VEHICLE IS BURNING THROUGH OIL AT ACCELERATED RATE. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAK MARKINGS FROM VEHICLE AFTER VEHICLE IS PARKED HOWEVER, LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT COMES ON WITHIN 1000 MILES OF OIL CHANGE.

HOW CAN A RECALL EXPIRE? HOW COME I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED?
