My Lexus GS430 has a fuel rail leak that is leaking into the engine bay and has a strong smell of fuel into the cabin of the car. It is especially strong in the cabin when the heat or air conditioning is utilized. It is extremely dangerous and after researching I have found that it a problem with several of the Lexus lines of cars built around the 2006-2008 models.

Car wouldn-€™t start. Had it diagnosed and found out my fuel pressure sensor had melted and was leaking fuel had it replaced bug still smell gas in and around car. Car was under recalm for same issue years back and was serviced at the dealership. So I don-€™t see how im liable for repairs if it was a problem when the car came off the assembly line

While driving on a freeway at speed limit my vehicle started leaning to the left and pulling to the right without me turning the steering wheel or making any turns, which almost resulted in a vehicular accident. Shortly after my windshield wipers went off without me turning them on and my gas gauge which at the time read about 3/4 of a tank went down to about 1/8.

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 oil capacity is 6.3 quarts with filter replacement. No leaks have been observed. No blue smoke to rule out engine oil burn indicators. 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. Excess engine oil consumption without adequate knowledge of mechanics poses extreme threat to consumer safety and assets. Have researched 2006 gs 300 known issues - this is one of them. No repairs and/or fixes have been provided by Lexus usa, or Toyota usa.

I recently received an "important safety recall" notice from Lexus on a car that we had traded in on a new Lexus at the Lexus dealership in bossier city, Louisiana in 2012. I called the national number for Lexus to tell them that I no longer owned this car. They said that their records showed me to be the last owner of record, and said that their information came from the state of Louisiana. Upon receiving a second recall notice, I checked the Lexus owners' site at www.lexusdrivers.com, where we are shown as owning our 2013 Lexus, but no other. I called the local dealership and spoke with brandy kirkendahl, who handles registration paperwork. She told me that Louisiana's site showed the 2006 car as having been traded in, and that I was no longer the owner, but was the last owner of record. The 2006 Lexus had been sold to another dealer, and not registered again in Louisiana. - here's a systemic problem: Whomever now owns this car is not getting recall notices, unless they are having the vehicle serviced by Lexus. That's probably unlikely, since Lexus charges an arm and a leg for its services. This is an "urgent safety recall." It apparently involves the fuel pressure sensor sealing surface and gasket, and involves a risk of fire. This can't be the only vehicle without a known owner. I don't know whether this identification problem is unique to Lexus or not.
