In owners' own words
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. Engine · reported at 91,000 miles
My AWD check system keeps going on and off every few days. I took it to Mavis who gave me codes and stated that there is a TSB found to the issues my vehicle read. I took it to lexus of Brooklyn who basically disregard the recommendations just so I javelin to pay them again to diagnosis whay was already diagnosed. Engine
My oil cooler line busted and did not know till I got home thank god the engine did not seize. Come to find out the line is made of rubber and not metal. I understand Lexus is aware but they are not calling for a recall. I th8nk they should pay for work performed Engine · reported at 115,000 miles
